OK so far Sierra 117 is impossible on Legendary, i reached the part with the chieftain pushing Johnson and gave up.
Even if you hoarded weapons from the previous area? You did bring extra BR ammo + plasma pistols right?

What makes it so difficult for you? The Jackal snipers? The Chieftain? Don't waste any sniper bullets on him.


I forgot to to do weapons hoard thing. But I did find giving Arby a brute shot to be helpful

Things I hate are the jackal snipers and those god damn brute shots. Even with Arby using the brute shot, he dies a lot, and it's unhelpful that his brute shot changes into a carbine after a while. Even the grunts, are a nuisance

I do think that the brutes and jackals are the hardest. At the chieftain bit I find a cool sniping spot in the tree, but I only managed to take out the jackal and the brute bodyguard before being insta sniped by a beam rifle.

It's hellish, he'll me!
A stockpile isn't really hard to make. You just stand over a weapon, hold RB, move forward, release, hold RB, etc.

Arby can be useful with a brute shot but it is important to remember that the H3 Elites are inferior sub-par incompetents and that they go cqc every. single. time. Don't bother giving them a brute shot, fuel rod gun, or rocket launcher because they'll just close the distance to an enemy real fast.

The Jackal snipers aren't that bad. If you see a purple light, that means they see you. Quickly go back into cover, wait a few seconds, and he'll lose interest in you.

And the Brute Shot Brutes are much better than Carbine Brutes. You would do well to snipe the bodyguards and assassinate the Brute shot wielders because the former are more annoying.


Thanks for the tips. Out of interest is there any other useful weapons to give Arby?

Yep. Well, obviously, you should give him power weapons like the fuel rod gun and rocket launcher. But there's one particular weapon that he can use effectively: the missile pod (only appears on The Storm). He can lock onto infantry. Just make sure he keeps his distance and take out the Hunters in the factory before they lower his shield with their assault cannon.

As for the other weapons,

Let no = avoid at all cost, yes = a must give, ok = he does alright with it

AR - no
BR - ok
Spiker - no
Plasma pistol - no
Plasma rifle - ok
dual wielding plasma rifles (spawns by default on some levels) - yes on Crow's Nest, no on Halo
Mauler - no
Shotgun - ok
SMG - no

hammer, snipers - no because he can't use them. Yes only if you don't want him to kill enemies

Plasma cannon - yes, pretty powerful

Machine gun turret - yes

Needler - ok. The only use I see for this is when fighting Brute Stalkers, because he can home in on them even if they're cloaked. Arby can be brought up the elevator on The Covenant.

vehicle weapons - yes. He's a really good shot compared to the marines
