Subject: Did anyone ever get the scarab gun?

I got it once and I killed myself with it a crapload of times.

You mean this one? Why yes, yes I did.

Try fighting the IWHBYD skull fight with it. I could never do it because I kill myself with it in that little courtyard. I think I got to the 5th wave once.

Yeah I got it a few times, was fun destroying enemies with its sheer destructive power.

If you get behind the banshee when it's stuck and then back away it will automatically turn and come toward you. Also, if you get a Banshee to the little tunnel entrance unharmed and get one wing inside the tunnel you can get in without worrying about the loadzone.

@LSU Fan - Use a Ghost and the Banshee will follow better and when he turns away toward the tunnel entrance, follow him and he won't go far. Keep going down the tunnel a little further each time and follow him back when he turns around and when you get him down to where the first Grunt is he will stay.

Thanks, I'll probably try again next time I can't connect to xbox live, which happens frequently.

All it took was a stew of whoopass.

No. I couldn't get the banshee into that little tube like tunnel leading to the outside. I think I got it in there once, but I couldn't get through the load and died.
:(

Sorry to hear that. If you leave the Banshee undamaged (the wings intact) and slip the left wing inside that tunnel, you can immediately board the Banshee without worrying about the loadzone.

Yeah I got it several times, I still have a saved file on my original Xbox so I can use it whenever when I want.

I've gotten to it twice. It took me a while to figure out the best way to get the banshee from the bridge to the farthest end of the tunnel. The first time, i let the banshee follow me. The second time, I used sputnik to melee it down the tunnel. The first method is frustrating at best, and the second takes forever.

Once I got it though, I made the mistake of shooting the wall that was ten feet from me. I went flying.

Finished the Fight!

I've seen some of the vids and it seems like WAY too much trouble and split second timing in order to get that Banshee to follw you to that tunnel. You can only get the gun by playing on Legendary, right?

No you can get it on any difficulty.

Love Bungie, Nothing Else

I got it with a banshee

  • 06.23.2010 2:32 PM PDT

The Sausage King of Chicago.

Once, with the banshee after trying several times. I may have gotten it again once or twice. I used an Action Replay once to dual wield the scarab gun and phantom gun (BEEEEEAST!), and used the Action Replay to drive a pelican on Metropolis, but I couldn't get the gun as when you exited the pelican, the game crashes.

I managed to get the banshee through, it was quite painful to do.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

If you guys want to get it, USE THE GHOST. It literally follows you. Just get it to start coming strait at you and it should follow you for quite a while. I got the scarab gun countless times this way

Halo is great. Bungie is great.

Got it once via banshee method. It was so fun to shoot the soccer ball with it.
