I CAN kill them it's just amazingly hard on legendary especially when they're backed up with grunts and jackals, the black ones are freakin invincible!!

Canada has hockey, and hocky has the Stanley cup, so Canada is cool. Umm, I would recomend both pistols against Elites. Or a rocket if u really suck.

Needler, it works wonders. Or overcharge a plasma pistol then switch to the pistol, then take em out with one shot to the head.

P.S. GO CALGARY!!!

Step 1 .Kill little guys first.

Step 2. Kill jackals second.

Step 3. Try sticky nades on l337's. if that doesn't work, use plasma pistol overcharge to stun and take shields out, then use pistol or other projetile weapon.

Step 4. Rinse. Wash. Repeat.

Sticky's on grunts also works wonders. But overall, be patient. Its the Flood that tend to rush the engagements: that's where it gets difficult.

the plasma rifle works very well. it keeps them in one place and takes down their sheilds quite quickly

2 shots is all it takes. One charged up round from the plasma pistol and a pop in the head with a pistol.

the easiest thing that i do is hit 'em with a charged plasma shot then throw a sticky grenade at em wile they're backing off and stunend. if i dont have ne grenades then like most other ppl i just use my plasma pistol or rifle ( i think plasma pistol is better cuz i figured out howta shoot as fast as the rifle and it cools off faster) and then fill their belly ful of lead with my aussalt rifle.

If you serriously can't kill an elite on legendary you have some major problems my friend...

Best proven method (and funnest) is simply hitting them in the back of the head. However, sometimes the situation doesn't allow you to get behind the elite, and in that case you can:

a. Lower its shields with a plasma weapon and finish it off with a pistol(human) round to the head

b. Stick a grenade to it and watch it wort at you.

c. Pump it full'a needles.

I personally like pumping them full of needles...

theirs a reason it's ledgendary you always have to adjust to the situation for up close i find plasma grenades with a shotguns and a plasma rifle work well with a sniper rifle at long range

Assualt rifle from a distance... shoot them a little bit and wait awhile for their shields to regenerate. Then shoot them again when they're not expecting it.

my personal favorite is the ass of the warthog, charge at them, and when they dive to the side... turn to the same side as hard as poss (even tho it makes not odds as its a button not a stering wheel) and if you time it just right then skull becomes rathe friendly with the back of your hog :)

Plasma Pistol (overcharge) then a few shots with a secondary weapon (best is human pistol, and plasma rifle)

If you're up close in close combat the shotgun does wonders (when doesn't it?).

My personal favourite is the needler. There is usually lots of needler ammo around you from previous waves of Covenant. It homes in and if you can pump them with enough of the stuff then you can get 'em to explode a couple of times. The great thing is, the explosion can set off dropped plasma grenades that can eliminate other nearby threats. I cool weapon that is under estimated by many.
