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!

By the way, nice helmet + shoulders XD

Nvm I was wrong, his shields must have been down.

Edit: Going back to Sierra 117, just reached the river.

So with his shields down, one BR shot to the head will do the trick? Can you test for our SLASOers? :-)

The Arbiter will kill you if you kill him too many times, so be careful. The other day on crows nest he killed me for no reason. He must have anger issues.

Fortunately, the betrayals reset after every check point. I killed Johnson like five times on Sierra 117 for BR ammo :-)

Cool, didn't know that. So how many times can you kill arby or the marines till they kill you back? Two times was my count. Battles with marines are harder than battles with enemies. lol

also how do you kill the Arbiter on SLASO to set him up with a better weapon?


You need a weapon capable of headshots (BR, Magnum, Carbine are best). Get his shields down. A good four or five melees will drop his shields. If you see purple blood when you hit him, you'll know his shields are down. Then give him a bullet to the head and quickly switch whatever weapon you want for his OR if you want him to have a Carbine, just keep swapping one of your weapons with his so that what he was holding isn't close to his body. He revives pretty fast, so you've got to be quick. Just around two seconds.

On a random side note, the Arbiter's melee animation for the Carbine seems amusing to me.

Twice until the next checkpoint by my count. That's why you have to be careful. One Carbine shot from Arbiter or Johnson and you're toast.

On that note, I'm gonna see if I can set Arbiter up with a Beam Rifle XD

What do you mean set him up? Give it to him? That'd be cool, I've never seen him snipe.

Apparently if either he or Johnson dies, whatever weapon is closest to him is the one he will pick up :-)

  • 08.06.2008 8:33 AM PDT

Just be careful when you do. If he doesn't get the weapon you wanted him to pick up, and you try it again immediately...he won't be too happy the next time he gets up. His weapons are all one-shot kills.

Arbiter = haxzor??? lol

  • 08.06.2008 8:42 AM PDT

Lol. Johnson hax too. He killed me in one shot with a Magnum on Crow's Nest one time.

You know who the best ally of all would be though? Miranda. She is completely invincible. Unlike Johnson or the Arbiter, not even a headshot works.

Good ideas, I'm going to try to set the Arbiter up with a Brute Shot or a Beam Rifle!

Wouldn't recommend the Brute Shot. He's horrible with it. He accidentally picked it up near the end of Sierra 117 and was shooting all over the place. Not doing much damage to the Brutes, but nearly killing me a few times.

Yeah, the Brute Shot just doesn't seem like an ideal choice...but giving him a Beam Rifle is just perfect. Even if they manage to get close to him and drop his shields, he'll switch to Sword.

And there's PLENTY of them starting from the riverbend.

I've tried different weapons with the arbiter and found that he doesn't fire Beam or Sniper rifle for some reason, same thing with the Gravity Hammer & when they use the needler the enemies don't super detonate, most likely the balance it from mass needling so it's just like a weak yet homing spiker, oh and AI Allies have issues with grenades when Catch is enabled especially Elites.

That's Right NO Sniping, Unfortunate isn't it? (I was disappointed to learn of this) Marines Can Snipe but Arbiter Can't =/
