"Harmless"?! I got stepped on by a Scrarab and almost got crushed by shrapnel after I blew it up!Scarab's are NOT harmless. They add randomness to the battle.
On The Storm, they're super smart son of a -blam!-es that deserve to be killed again and again. I typically avoid them by doing a premature boarding, missile pods, and recently, boarding it in a AA Wraith. But all 3 of these aren't very reliable since you have to have perfect timing for the first, luck for the second, and the third just won't work on speedruns.
On The Ark, it's hard to put that Scarab down. So many distractions, godly Scarab beams, etc. I typically avoid it by starting off with the undead scarab glitch but instead of destroying it, I shoot it's leg, so when it returns, it's disabled making the battle 10x more easier, but I've recently learned about premature boarding on that level.
On The Covenant, there's that annoying Scarab teleportation glitch and nearly everyone does the same thing: go on the left Scarab.
I go to the right, because it's more easier for me to retrieve my Hornet and to avoid the aforementioned glitch. There's a risk of being shot at by Banshees and Ghosts, but it's much more easier for me.
