I found the Sierra 117 BR Glitch!!!
SLASO, haven't completed

On 117 I Found A Trick To Get A Br At The Beginning Of The Level, But I Am Not Sure How Much Ammo It Has
I Will PM Tyrant To See If Its Appropriate To Post Before The Big Guide Comes Out
EDIT: I Tried It A Second Time And It Worked Again!
You Might Want To Save It For The Brutes Though, It Has About A Clip And A Half.

Wow, that Warthog run at the end of Halo is frustrating... I died there 3 more times tonight. I usually make it about halfway through but I end up getting flipped either by the terrain or the sentinels and I fall to my doom. Any tips?

Watch the video. My Cortana video is Here

But to take them down, I either Stuck them or Used a Bubble Shield / Invisibility to get closer to them to take them down.

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Best Regards,

YES!!!

Excellent find! Awesome for the walkthrough!

A big hand goes to this fellow for discovering a glitch to get a BR at the beginning of Sierra 117. Apparently if you deplete your AR ammo right off the bat, then kill Johnson with the pistol, he comes back to life with a BR.

To the poster: I recommend actually using this on the Grunts first since they are the number one killer for this part of the mission. The Brutes can be dealt with using plasma pistols. Is it possible to get away with killing him a third time for additional ammo?

This will certainly help out those who get stuck in the first area because of the rather underpowered starting weapons.

I found the Sierra 117 BR Glitch!!!
SLASO, haven't completed

It Might Be Possible But I Haven't Tried It Yet
EDIT-Probably Not Because Of He Would Pick Up The Weapon You Dropped(Likely To Be The AR)
EDIT2-Have NOT Tested
Maybe If You Have One Shot Left In The Pistol(Using That Shot To Kill Him) And You Drop The Pistol(IF Possible(Left Over Ammo?))
He Might Get Another BR!
Quick Who Knows How Much Pistol Shots You Get!

Just to let you know, I'm nowhere near my 360 right now, but once I get a chance to try it, I will post a more detailed tutorial and link it to the OP.

Excellent contribution!

You might as well call Recon armor a Fancy Fedora, because that's all it is really.

If only my LIVE was up when I finished Sierra 117 in that fashion...

Me to :-)

I want to make sure that each area is something that can be repeated rather than based on luck. This means a whole new approach to Cortana...

question to anyone that can answer. is there an e-z way of beating the scarab on the storm? when ever i try to board it, it steps backwards. the missile pod method doesn't seem to work all the time. sometimes it locks onto the leg. any tips? or is it based on luck?

Mine was.

One of the more likely methods is to let the missile pod Marines do most of the work. If you have a loaded plasma pistol, wait til the Scarab stands still and target the remaining Brutes. If you can nail the armor with a plasma charge, then use the sniper on the left tower to headshot them. How to board it though? It seems loosely luck based. Any other completers have a good luring method?

It was kinda luck on my run too. I just waited till it got close enough so that even if it backed up I'd still make it.

In my humble opinion it's one of the most irritating parts of the level.



On a side note: 1100+ posts and still no response from Bungie???

My SLASO is done for today

Conclusion; God Damn SCARAB! I managed to get past it once. But Arbiter died and there were like 100000 Brutes after me. And I died. And the other 10 times I reached the Scarab I died due to stupid causes. Like blowing myself up with a Rocket Launcher, or Jumping of the Crane and missing the Scarab and falling to my death.

I should have The Storm done by tomorrow.
