If you used the blow yourself off the crate method to fly your MC chassis up to the scarab gun, then you basically are out of luck. The only way to be able to use it on enemies is to get it via the banshee method. There is no other way down from where it is. Do not feel too bad, even being able to use it on enemies, you do not enjoy it very much (not very much left to blow up by the time you get it, and when you use it, the shot itself obscures much of the actual destroying of things!). This was one of the most disappointing things in the game for me to get, either way you get it.

Hi. My name is Andrew. I'm Asian. Still trying to figure out who I am. Yup. That's it.

I have to disagree. Though the green covers the death, it's satisfying to see all these dead bodies laying around from your canage of destruction. But, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You do make sense.

The scarab gun was fun for about 5-minutes. It was much more fun working out how to get that banshee.

You need to use the Banshee thing to actually use it, like someone else said.

It doesn't last too long, but for the time you do have it, it's damn fun.

As for the banshee to the scarab gun trick, First off, make sure your in easy mode. Then, after crossing the bridge, kill all but one banshee, then comes the time consuming process of making it follow you through the tunnel.

You must kill your allies, they will attack your banshee, and you need it to reach the gun, so kill any allies that come your way, as you travel with the banshee shooting at you, make sure that its always following you, sometimes it may fly away, and despawn.

While dealing with the covenant, make sure it flies through the partially closed road block, then, while its flying around, kill the covies, after carefully watching the banshee, while shooting everything else, the hard part is at the end the tunnel.

You must somehow make the banshee come close to the tunnel that leads to the exit, (it may not go through, so you may have to destroy the accelerators on the banshee) as it goes through the tunnel, make sure it does not go to the right, (there is a chute that leads to the sky, if the banshee goes up through the chute, your going to have to go back to the previos checkpoint)

If you jack it at the right time right when you exit the tunnel, you will be able to fly around the rest of the game, and fly to the first bridge in the sky to pick up the gun, and fly back.

(if you are slow to boarding the banshee right before you go outside, it will despawn)

If you attempt to board the banshee without doing any of these steps, the banshee will explode, and the chief will die.

If you get the Armory skull, the Banshee will follow you anywhere.
