Subject: Is there a Scarab Gun on The Great Journey?

Hey guys. As you all know, there are Scarab Guns on Outskirts and Metropolis. Now, both these levels have a Scarab in them, so what if, provided this theory is correct, there is a Scarab gun in The Great Journey because of this?

I could be way off, but I don't see any reason why there couldn't be unless it's been proven there isn't. In Metropolis and Outskirts, 2 of the Scarab Guns are right by the Scarab's itself, maybe this could be the case with the Great Journey?

Thoughts on this?

Maybe there is, but the question Willis is trying to ask...

is it possible for it to be obtained by the player? Stay tuned for more comments!

There was a fake Scarab gun vid out about 4 or 5 years ago, it was bogus. I forget what the hex readers said but the thought was that there's no Scarab gun on GJ. I've been wrong before.

All I know is that it's not at the top of the map or the Uprising area (that includes the mission start area). I've been there on GJ via what I believe to be a Banshee glitch.

As for outside the map, I don't know. Grumpy might know.

I don't think there is one though.

  • 02.14.2012 6:29 PM PDT

I've explored GJ a lot and I have never found anything. If only we could get in the scarab.

  • 02.14.2012 6:32 PM PDT

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

I've heard of one inside the Scarab, but behind the energy door.

Well, modders have been wrong before. People have been behind the shield but only after the Scarab fired. If it does exist, then it's only for a split second and it's when it fires once, the first time.

Could it be possible to launch up to it then?

I suppose that you could attempt to sword fly from one of the Brutes near the entrance after driving to the other side of the canyon.

I'm not sure exactly what part you are referring to, but if it the part before you enter the entrance to the complex, you can use sputnik and some nades to launch yourself up to the scarab before Johnson and the marines are there.

That's taking the easy way out.

The barrier is down if you launch up too soon, then you have to set off the cutscene to see because that's when the Scarab fires for the first time.

What's amazing is the hand-held gun is not at the same place on Metropolis or OS when the Scarab fires. On Metropolis the gun appears just in front of the Scarab, on OS it spawns at the rear of the Scarab. So the gun at the Scarab when it fires is not necessarily spawned where we think it should.

Actually, you CAN get in the scarab.

When the door first opens and you're facing the brutes with their backs turned and the scarab in the background, go camo, sword fly to the farthest brute you can, then run and grenade jump onto the main cannon of the scarab. If you get on it then, the shield door will not be there and you can see Johnson inside. Can't remember if I explored any more around the Scarab, but it could be in there.

Yeah, you can get in early:

Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

Lol, you guys are getting to complicated.

Simply bring a Ghost to the platform, and as soon as you see the Scarab, boost towards the nose. You will do a wheelie onto the cannon when you hit it, and from there you can beat Johnson in by getting out and running into the door. Switching weapons with him makes him make comments he usaually says to the Chief, such as "Let's go Chief!". He is holding a Plasma Pistol. The textures are the same as the one on Metropolis, so not much to see.

there's also a glicth where you land on the Scarabs leg and you can "See" inside it.

Johnson is also invincible inside the Scarab BTW.

Yeah, I've explored inside the Scarab pre-cutscene with Johnson and there's nothing there.

However, In Metropolis and Outskirts, both Scarab Guns have appeared briefly when the Scarab fires it's first shot. So in theory, perhaps when the Scarab fires it's first shot on the Great Journey, there will be a Scarab Gun that appears briefly near the Scarab. Keep in mind this is after the Johnson cutscene and when the energy barrier is in place.

Of course this is all theories, it seems plausible because the Scarab is nothing more than Scripted scenery, which is why the Scarab Gun is there as a Plasma rifle to give the Scarab a way of having a weapon. I'm not sure if people have looked into this, but I'm going to start exploring all possibilities but I believe this can only be done on co-op as in order to get the Wraith and the Scarab to attack is by spawning them by flying towards the Wraiths if memory serves...

Perhaps there's one at the spot Johnson seems possesed to keep firing at.

I am quite surprised at the number of "technical" guns in Halo 2. Not just the obvious scarab gun, but others just as the BR-PR. Its used in the beginning cutscene of Sacred Icon, when an Enforcer sneaks up on the Arbiter, and the phantom shoots at it. The phantom doesn't actually fire, a little camera tilting shows its a fused skin of a BR and PR.

Reminds me of how Reach's cuncussion rifle works.
