Halo Reach – Invasion Tips
Invasion Tips
Two keys to success I volition rear hither earlier the total guide, the fireteam spawn system, together with squad chat.
Pressing J brings upwards chat, yesteryear default, together with pressing Tab cycles through the channels. Always communicate with your squad together with tell them your intentions, ix times out of 10 they’ll cooperate with you lot given a piffling diirection, typically they desire to win as much as you lot do.
The fireteam system. Each squad of vi has 2 players on said squad linked together as a fireteam. That way they tin privy see each other’s callsigns prioritized over all other teammates on their HUD, together with they tin privy spawn on each other. If you lot attempt to spawn on your teammate, or they attempt to spawn on you, it creates a giant floating ruby-red arrow higher upwards them that is visible through geometry. IF YOUR BUDDY IS CLEARLY TRYING TO HIDE OR ABOUT TO DIE, DON’T SPAWN ON HIM. You tin privy alter your spawn seat with the upwards together with downwards arrow keys. Conversely, if you lot see a floating ruby-red arrow where there’s clearly no enemy, you’re probable looking at a cloaked Elite with somebody trying to spawn on him. Throw a grenade or shoot at him to delay the buddy spawn.
General Tips
This department volition comprehend of import tips that apply inwards full general together with are non exclusive to whatever Invasion map.
Always utilize mightiness weapons your squad has, together with larn where they spawn. I comprehend spawn locations inwards each map’s department inwards the guide, I am silent unfamiliar with 343’s forge globe Invasion maps.
When carrying the core, jump together with press the shoot button/mouse 1 to drib the core, this volition throw it forward, at ane time concur the pickup push clit to pick it dorsum up, repeat. This allows you lot to acquit a Core at nearly double the speed of regularly walking it.
Elites jump slightly higher than Spartans together with tin privy brand jumps that Spartans commonly can’t. Elites also receive got larger hitboxes.
Try to ever receive got at to the lowest degree 1-2 Elites running Active Camo inwards whatever Phase 1 to assist render displace sensor comprehend for your Warriors. Don’t top to a greater extent than than 2 or 3.
The Plasma Pistol is extremely strong. It’s easier to spam it to nation iv or five shots to drib a Spartan’s shields instead of trying to nation the charged shot. On that Federal Reserve notation inwards Phase 1, Evade tin privy permit you lot traverse rattling far rattling fast, attempt rolling correct at a ledge (especially ane that is an upward slope) to slingshot yourself far ahead. You tin privy run from Breakpoint’s spawn all the way to the correct side capture betoken inwards most 12 seconds yesteryear slingshotting yourself off the ledges with Evade. Experiment with Evade together with break interesting ways to exercise it as a motion option. The Plasma Repeater is really non useless, believe it or not, it does high wellness damage, together with combined with Elite players getting the exclusive aim assist reticle to assist you lot Pb your shots makes it rattling piece of cake to nation a long barrage. Do non ignore the autoaim reticle, you lot tin privy completely receive got your optic off the enemy together with live able to nation almost all your shots using it.
The Assault Rifle is rattling effective against Elites inwards Phase 1 together with beyond when you lot plume the trigger together with burn brusk 2-3 shot bursts, peculiarly due to the Elites’ large hitboxes compared to Spartan players. It fifty-fifty works at rattling long make if you lot can’t live bothered to delineate out your Magnum.
Never spam. This applies to unmarried shot weapons inwards all game modes, but with carefully paced shots you lot tin privy easily kill Elites with a unmarried journal of a Magnum, or receive got downwards 3 Spartans with a journal of the Needle rifle. Headshots silent exercise bonus harm to shields, fifty-fifty the Assault Rifle together with Plasma Repeater, albeit automatic weapons evidently can’t instant kill an unshielded opponent.
On Breakpoint, inwards stage 3 when Elites receive got the Banshee, boosting straight on into the Spartan’s Garage Spawn where their vehicles + Falcon are really lets you lot wing through the forcefulness field, you lot tin privy exercise this to Banshee Bomb their vehicles or Spartan players who mistakenly believe they’re security inwards there. I receive got non found some other forcefulness plain inwards an Invasion map where you lot tin privy exercise this however.
Melee piece belongings the bomb inwards Breakpoint Phase 2 is an instant kill if it connects.
A unmarried Sniper Rifle shot on the cockpit comprehend of a Wraith instantly destroys the cover, together with thus you lot tin privy headshot the airplane pilot with a 2d shot to pocket a nearly completely intact enemy tank. This tin privy easily plough the tide inwards whatever phase/map where tanks are available. Takes several shots on the canopy of a Scorpion to break.
Since few players receive got been playing Reach since earlier 343 took over together with applied the TU (title update) they may non know that Invasion is silent non-TU, has no melee together with precision weapon bleedthrough, armor lock changes, etc. Armor Locking later on an Elite sticks you lot with a Plasma grenade causes it to projection off of you lot together with salve yourself. Armor locking releases an EMP when you lot unloose it (the radius gets bigger the longer you lot concur the lock) together with if you lot fourth dimension it well, you lot tin privy armor lock just as an enemy melees you, instantly unloose it, which drops their shields, together with thus you lot tin privy melee them for a damageless melee kill. This is peculiarly effective inwards Breakpoint Phase 2 when an enemy Elite bomb carrier’s solely defence is to melee or drib the bomb together with shoot at you. Armor Lock volition silent destroy an enemy vehicle trying to splatter you lot fifty-fifty if you lot hold off until the rattling terminal 2d to press the button.
You alter to the Banshee bomb from its principal guns yesteryear pressing 1. Too few people know this. Space is evade together with correct mouse is boost.
Spire
Offense
Phase One
This tin privy easily live the hardest map for Phase 1 criminal offense of all the Invasion maps. Spartans spawn with Assault Rifles together with Magnum pistols as common for whatever stage one, but in that location are no DMRs on the map to counter the aggressive camping ground a seasoned thespian on defence tin privy muster.
The most hard aspect of this is that both left zone together with correct zone for the Spartans are hard to acquire to. They require you lot to either become to a greater extent than or less together with coming dorsum to acquire inwards the surface area the capture betoken is at, which tin privy live done stealthily, or yesteryear making yourself highly vulnerable to previously mentioned campers together with fifty-fifty casual defenders yesteryear doing sprinting crouch jumps to bypass the walkaround.
On the correct side, at the betoken just below the 2 explosive crates, you lot tin privy sprint inwards to the corner together with at ane time crouch jump together with clear the rocks to receive got a slight shortcut to the objective. As mentioned this makes you lot highly vulnerable to the other team.
The midpoint surface area is a consummate deathtrap, but all iii lanes of this stage are. Only traverse the midpoint inwards a rush, together with solely when Defense is preoccupied yesteryear your teammates currently standing inwards either of the 2 zones. If you lot attempt to sneak through there, you lot WILL live detected together with massacred. When teammates are trying to receive got ane or both zones, your goal going downwards the midpoint volition live to render interference together with stopping opposing players inwards their rush to acquire to your buddies.
There is a specific stone on the left side, on the far correct side of the principal slice that has 2 routes through it, together with where Defense tin privy easily military camp on acme of, where you lot tin privy sprint or fifty-fifty regularly crouchjump onto to allow you lot to acquire upwards to the advantage point. If you lot harass Defense campers enough, it’ll discourage them from getting dorsum upwards there. There is a “deadzone” on acme of this rock, however, where if you lot jump inwards it, you’ll break yourself infinitely falling. Do non surrender together with kill yourself, hold off a pair seconds together with you’ll live able to jump out of it.
On the left side, you lot tin privy become downwards the midpoint of the rock, or on the left side at the cliffside. Defense loves to military camp on the midpoint of it, together with volition easily grab you lot ahead of fourth dimension going either way. One of your best defenses hither is to sprint yesteryear together with exercise rocks close the left capture zone for cover.
Phase 2
This is the easiest stage for Offense on the Spire. H5N1 Sniper Rifle spawns for midpoint spawn, a Shotgun spawns leaning against the metallic wall slice on the correct side spawn, together with a Rocket Launcher spawns slightly hidden inwards the grass slightly to the left of left spawn. The hardest aspect of this stage is non letting the Elites pocket your mightiness weapons. Armor lock is a rattling strong pick because Elites volition desire to grenade you lot out of the capture point. Elites tin privy throw a Plasma Grenade into the grav elevator going to the acme of the construction which float dorsum together with forth from each grav elevator over together with over, avoid going inwards the grav elevator for this argue + multiple almost ever idling upwards top. The Warthog is nearly useless inwards this phase, nonetheless you lot tin privy drive it within the Spire for shenanigans.
Phase 3
Same mightiness weapons as the kickoff phase, but the Jetpack loadout tin privy live an extremely strong pick due to the verticality of the Spire itself. In the substance room, the dorsum covert is a 1 way forcefield you lot tin privy jump out of to rapidly drib the substance off the Spire. H5N1 quick rush, to a greater extent than oft than non ignoring Elites if possible, is the best way to rapidly acquire the Core out of the Spire earlier Defense tin privy gather itself.
The Falcon tin privy live strong, but is hard-countered yesteryear the Plasma Launcher that Elites receive got spawn at (your left) their correct spawn zone. Destroy or pocket the Banshee as presently as possible, also pocket their Fuel Rod Gun which spawns against the wall unopen yesteryear if possible, the fewer tools the opponent has, the better.
There are 3 grav lifts that spawn inwards Phase 3, 2 unopen to Spartan spawn points together with ane yesteryear the Banshee. Immediately become upwards one, receive got your Jetpack, together with you lot tin privy wing downwards to drib correct on acme of all of Defense’s spawns if you lot ask to protect your Core carrier from snipers or pocket the Banshee if the chance presents itself.
Only receive got the Grenade launcher loadout if the enemy has the Banshee together with is wreaking havoc, or you lot are working with shotgunners to acquire the substance out of the spire if Defense manages to acquire established.
Only receive got Armor lock if defence is assembled together with you lot ask to suspension the Core out of the Spire, they WILL receive got Energy Swords, together with the Shotgun tin privy kill whatever thespian with a sword earlier they tin privy kill you, albeit with tight timing.
Once the substance is running, attempt to pick a Drop Shield. Shielding the substance carrier tin privy live victory or defeat inwards many instances, live aware of Defense also dropping ane or to a greater extent than Drop Shields on acme of a Core they’re trying to reset. The solely alternative is EMPs or raw damage, such as a rocket launcher. Ballistics similar a Sniper Rifle exercise nearly nothing, but sustained burn of a Falcon gunner is effective. One may consider suicide yesteryear running into their shields together with grenading or rocket launching the enemies within to preclude a Core reset.
In cheesy cases together with a coordinated team, the Core carrier tin privy jump on acme of a friendly Falcon, together with the Falcon airplane pilot tin privy safely wing him straight to the capture zone.
Defense
Phase 1 Defense is easily the easiest Defense of all the Invasion maps, but stage 2 together with 3 are rattling hard, conversely.
First, in that location are non two, but THREE Needle Rifle spawns inwards Phase 1. Two on the correct side, together with ane on the left side. It took me until 2019 with the PC unloose of Reach to fifty-fifty break the 3rd one, it’s rattling piece of cake to miss. For those on Right Spawn, all you lot receive got to exercise is drib downwards together with hold off behind the stone closest to your spawn point. It’s unopen to the cliffside together with almost hidden inwards the grass. The other 2 Needle Rifle spawns are rattling apparent together with I incertitude I ask to betoken them out due to their proximity to the capture points.
Key defensive strategies:
Due to the vertical together with uphill nature of the map inwards this phase, almost every stone unopen to a spawn betoken tin privy live camped on together with allows nearly 360 bird coverage of the surface area to a greater extent than or less you, as good as direct sight lines to the spawns of enemy Spartans. Utilizing these good volition final result inwards a swift Skunking. Not much to tell as it’s rattling piece of cake to jump or crouch jump on most of these rocks together with you’ll probable see enemy defence or your ain squad jumping on them constantly.
Phase 2 defence is much to a greater extent than hard as Spartans acquire access to a Rocket Launcher, a Sniper Rifle, together with a Shotgun. Stealing the shotgun or grabbing it off the corpse of the Spartan that took it volition live fantastic with Active Camo to guard the capture points inwards unopen quarters. Needless to tell stealing the Sniper Rifle or RL volition live a huge hindrance to the Offensive team. Ignore enemy Spartans inwards the Warthog unless they drive it into the Spire, but regardless it is easily dealt with using Plasma Pistol accuse shots together with Plasma nades. If you lot permit them drive idly inwards circles to a greater extent than or less the Spire, ever maintain an optic on them regardless inwards representative they attempt anything sketchy.
Right spawn has the Plasma Launcher spawn inwards the creviced rocks correct side yesteryear side to their spawn, although it’s non the most useful inwards this phase, it volition kill inwards a unmarried projectile sticking. It’s primary role is to destroy the enemy Falcon inwards Phase 3 together with to a lesser extent the Banshee inwards the trial Offense steals it, although it’s far less effective on the Banshee.
Going upwards the grav lifts to the electrical current acme flooring of the Spire, most of your defensive strategies start here. You tin privy hold off downwards the grav shafts together with into the capture points where you lot tin privy EMP, Needle, or grenade together with or otherwise onset enemy Spartans attempting a capture. Note: throwing a grenade straight downwards volition motion it to bounce dorsum together with forth betwixt the shafts, acting as a mucilaginous trap, but it is piece of cake to betray if you’re non coordinated with your team. Works with Frags, too, though less useful.
Spire pt 2.
Phase 3 is to a greater extent than oft than non your squad beingness familiar with it, which is to tell it won’t become good rattling oft inwards pubs. The Plasma Launcher at correct spawn kills the Falcon extremely easily, the Banshee is easily stolen, thus ever attempt to grab it first, together with the Fuel Rod gun to the correct of where Left Spawn spawns is extremely useful to defend the Core at the acme of the Spire. Outside the substance through the one-way forc efield, you lot tin privy crouch together with hold off to assassinate whatever Spartan trying to jump out through it with the core. If you lot receive got a sword you lot tin privy halt several enemies inwards a row from making headway, but this leaves you lot vulnerable to an enemy Falcon or Banshee.
Mostly you lot volition desire to pick Jetpack together with Drop Shield, the latter for versatility with the Spire’s verticality as good as helping to counter aerial vehicles, together with the Drop Shield is for protecting or recovering the core. Using the Concussion rifle inwards Active Camo to knock enemies off the Spire or force Shotgunners dorsum is a valid strategy. Hologram for the Sword is also strong when defending the Top of the Spire, but tin privy non laid pes exterior safely if whatever ranged Spartan, the Falcon, or Banshee come upwards around.
Boneyard
Offense
This is easily the 2d hardest (arguably the hardest) offensive stage inwards all of the Invasion maps. Playing as Elites, you lot volition receive got access to Needle Rifles, which makes criminal offense much easier inwards the correct hands.
The kickoff affair you’ll probable run into is Spartans with Magnums together with DMRs perched on their ledge together with sniping downwards at you lot on your approach. Always attempt to harass them with Needle Rifle rounds to discourage them from camping ground at the ledge. If you lot go out them live together with somehow arrive to a capture point, they’ll already live rattling unopen together with crush your assault. If you’re just spawning together with see your teammates within a capture point, attempt grabbing a needle rifle together with trying to hinder enemy Spartans from getting to them. Even damaging their shields a piffling chip is a large assist to your unopen make offense.
The Spartans receive got numerous ambush points where other players volition attempt for beatdowns together with assassinations, ever banking venture fit your corners together with ever receive got the Plasma Pistol out if you’re non running Active Camo. iv or thus regular Plasma Pistol shots or ane Charged Shot volition instantly drib a Spartans shields together with allow you lot to melee for the kill. The correct side has no fewer than viii hiding spots where a Spartan tin privy easily surprise together with instakill you lot on your way to the correct side capture point. Be constantly vigilant together with acquit a Needle Rifle to render comprehend to your less experienced squad mates.
More oft than not, just throwing yourself at the same objective volition acquire precious seconds off the clock, together with if you’re coordinating with your squad via chat, you’ll live able to force through.
Phase 2.
Extremely piece of cake phase, a friendly Wraith (don’t permit the Spartans pocket it) providing comprehend on the correct capture betoken makes progressing to stage 3 easy. Savvy players tin privy attempt to become into the Spartan spawn surface area to pocket their mightiness weapons piece your teammates are capturing to shine the procedure fifty-fifty further. Be most wary of a Spartan with a Sniper or a Splaser instantly destroying your team’s Wraith. Someone tin privy grab the Focus Rifle from left spawn together with exercise that to harass anybody attempting to counter your squad taking the correct side capture point. Attack the left side capture betoken occasionally to render a distraction if attacking correct side capture betoken isn’t going well.
Phase 3.
This is also ane of the most hard offensive phases of all the Invasion maps. If Spartans constitute their defence within the base, ignore all your vehicles together with focus on getting Jetpacks, Swords, together with Concussion rifle loadouts to attempt together with punch through to grab the Core. It’s non rattling far from where the Core sits to acquire it exterior the building, but creating an opening to really exercise that is rattling difficult. Often if you lot tin privy see during Phase 2 that your squad is most to capture ane of the points, attempt to already live inwards the base of operations correct at where the substance spawns. If you lot tin privy overwhelm defence yesteryear beingness a pair steps ahead, it makes it far to a greater extent than hard for them to organize themselves. The basic dominion of Phase 3 is that the longer it lasts, the harder it gets for Offense.
If the Spartans attempt together with receive got their tank out, exercise squad chat to tell your Banshee Pilot if in that location is one. Go to the left side spawn, where the span connects the Elite’s spawns to the base of operations with the Core, together with lying on the the world is a Focus Rifle together with Plasma Launcher. Try to grab the Plasma Launcher and, similar the Spartan Laser, accuse it piece hidden, THEN poke your caput out to lock on together with burn it at the Scorpion earlier it tin privy notice together with instant kill you. It takes possibly 6-8 Plasma Launcher rounds to kill a Scorpion. If a teammate has stolen the Spartans’ Sniper Rifle, ane shot to the canopy of the scorpion destroys it, together with thus ane to a greater extent than shot to the caput to kill the airplane pilot underneath. The Scorpion isn’t the most useful until your Core Runner has gotten unopen to the goal, together with if you lot exercise give to pocket the Scorpion early, receive got it unopen to the betoken where the Core is captured at, non many other areas are security at all. This volition live mentioned ane time to a greater extent than inwards Boneyard Defense, but Offense inwards Phase 3 should live aware, too, that intentionally driving the Scorpion over a dropped Core together with letting the Scorpion acquire destroyed makes it nearly impossible to pick the Core up. When the Scorpion is destroyed, it leaves its hull on the ground, which is large plenty to preclude whatever thespian from beingness able to pick upwards the Core underneath. Do non permit you lot the Spartans drive their Scorpion on acme of your substance or you lot volition almost sure enough lose the round.
Defense
Phase 1 is a relatively piece of cake defensive phase. Stand on the ledge with DMRs together with Magnums together with attempt to harass or kill as many Elite players as possible on their approach. If they start out harassing dorsum with Needle Rifles, give a piffling ground, displace to a dissimilar seat on the ledge, together with thus poke dorsum out to snipe at them some to a greater extent than together with maintain them on their toes.
For those on the left spawn, the entire surface area on the way towards the Left Capture betoken is littered with corners together with things you lot tin privy cover behind to become for Beatdowns together with Assassinations on approaching Elites. One of the best strategies is to really force out together with become towards enemy spawns together with attempt to either kill or delay them on their route. As a full general rule, waiting until defence is on your doorstep is non as effective as stomping them out early on inwards their road to you.
On the correct side spawn, Elites receive got several stairways they tin privy receive got to ambush you, most notably the ane yesteryear the cliffside where they become upwards their far left (Defense team’s far right) together with receive got to become inwards a loop, if you lot jump upwards on the railing of the stairs there, you lot tin privy jump upwards onto the yellowish panels together with hold off downwards to see them coming early on if they become this route. Otherwise you lot receive got hiding points upwards the principal stairwell that their far left (your teams’ far right) spawn volition usually become up. Spartans receive got a huge payoff inwards having higher the world + Elites having a sizable distance to go to acquire to the objective. Steal enemy Plasma Pistols if possible, it’s rattling piece of cake to nation 4-5 shots to drib their shields inwards unopen quarters together with thus goal with a Magnum or DMR headshot. The goal of this stage is to mainly rest vigilant together with ever live gear upwards to sprint to wherever the enemy is at.
Left Side spawn has a unique payoff where, upwards on the catwalk where the Spartans spawn, if you lot run to the left where it initiates the kill zone (RETURN TO THE BATTLEFIELD IN 10, 9, etc.), if you lot run yesteryear that zone, you lot tin privy really drib straight downwards onto enemy Elites together with tin privy live a useful way to flank them if they’re trying to receive got the left capture betoken inwards force.
Phase 2.
Nine times out of 10 you lot volition lose this phase. If anything, it’s to a greater extent than similar 95 times out of 100 you lot volition lose this phase. You receive got all the tools you lot ask to unopen Offense downwards here, but rarely does it ever happen.
That metallic box inwards the room with the Core inwards it that connects all the spawns together has a Sniper Rifle, a Rocket Launcher, a Spartan Laser, together with a Shotgun inwards it. You tin privy easily destroy the enemy Wraith, or somebody with some savvy tin privy fifty-fifty hang dorsum the 2d Phase 1 ends together with attempt to pocket it. The rooftop higher upwards the capture points is unsafe to live on due to the Elites having a Focus Rifle together with the mightiness walk across the span straight to you, but a sniper roofing you lot or using the Sniper rifle yourself volition permit you lot military camp upwards in that location for a rattling long time.
There’s non much to tell for this phase. Play good together with exercise your tools or you’ll manus victory to the Elites.
Phase 3
This stage is extremely strong for Defense, beingness within the building, you lot forcefulness the opposing Elites to come upwards straight to you. Ignore enemy Banshees together with Wraiths, if they’re exterior inwards a vehicle, that way they’re non within trying to pocket the substance from you. Prioritize Shotguns. You may consider a Grenadier loadout or 2 to motion confusion with Holograms, but Shotgunners should brand upwards the mass of your team.
Bonyeard pt. 2
Phase 3 Defense continued.
Consider picking Drop Shield as good to house to a greater extent than or less the Core with friendly shotgunners camping ground within it. Offense volition receive got no pick but to either hold off for the shield to expire, expose their seat yesteryear trying to EMP or grenade it, or walk within together with acquire slaughtered yesteryear buckshots.
If the Elites care to acquire the Core exterior of the building, consider Drop Shields to drib to a greater extent than or less the Core to attempt for a reset, together with pick a Grenadier or 2 to counter the inevitable enemy Wraiths together with Banshees.
Two notes if your squad chooses to guide out the Scorpion: Driving the Scorpion unopen to the Shed Spawn together with parking correct inwards forepart of the large garage doors is ane of the safest places to military camp with it, it fifty-fifty gives you lot a direct sight trouble to where the Elites pick upwards their Plasma Launcher, which serves as the Scorpion’s hard counter inwards this map. If you lot experience similar sacrificing the Scorpion, you lot tin privy drive it on acme of a dropped Core, permit the Scorpion acquire destroyed, together with nobody volition live able to pick it upwards due to the mass together with immovability of the tank’s hull. Only exercise this if you lot are a truthful tryhard or you lot really loathe the players on Offense.
Breakpoint
Offense
Phase 1
There is a unmarried Needle Rifle, needless to say, exercise it. Evade tin privy live used to curl of of ledges to sling shot yourself forward, together with typically ane jump volition acquit your momentum together with allow a pseudo bunnyhop. There is ane spot from either the left or midpoint spawn where evading off the border volition either nearly kill you lot or commit an instant suicide. You really can’t know just where this is at until you lot experience it a few times.
In an absolutely ideal situation, you lot would receive got 2 Active Camos together with ane Evade attacking left capture betoken inwards sync with 1 Active Camo together with 2 Evades attacking correct capture point. This volition rarely give inwards pubs, but inwards general, become out to onset left spawn yesteryear yourself whenever it seems similar all of defence is focused on correct side capture point.
If you’ve played this map a few times you’ve in all probability seen Spartans camping ground on the ane catwalk with a DMR just higher upwards correct capture point, counter him with the Needle Rifle or sling 10-15 Plasma Pistol shots to potentially drib his shields together with scare him off. This stage is a battle of attrition to a greater extent than than anything else.
Phase 2
This is easily the cheesiest stage on this map, Offense has many options to dominate. Defense has as as many options to completely neutralize Offense, but requires to a greater extent than run to accomplish.
The kickoff affair is grabbing the bomb. When belongings the bomb, a elementary “i’m going left/i’m going right” inwards TEAM chat volition typically set your squad on the same page as you. I ever type ane or the other inwards squad chat together with my squad has ever cooperated thus far. When belongings the bomb, melee is an instant kill. One fourth dimension I accidentally typed the direction I was taking the bomb inwards All Chat, which completely messed upwards our offense.
The best way to acquire the bomb inwards is to receive got somebody receive got the Wraith together with comprehend you. The solely way Defense tin privy really oppose an fifty-fifty decent Wraith airplane pilot is yesteryear using the Sniper Rifle from their Retrieval Spawn to popular the canopy together with headshot the pilot, or to just dump the entirety of the weapon’s ammo onto the vehicle. There’s solely ane relatively security house to target the Wraith from, together with it’s the catwalk higher upwards their Retrieval Spawn. Anywhere else is typically dangerously close. 85% of the fourth dimension Defense players don’t fifty-fifty realize in that location fifty-fifty IS a Sniper Rifle inwards Retrieval.
Their other alternative for countering the Wraith is to pocket Plasma Pistols from your ain squad to exercise on you, this is extremely unsafe for you, but if solely a unmarried opponent is EMPing you lot with a Plasma Pistol, you lot tin privy silent mash a unmarried shot out of the Wraith earlier you lot acquire EMPd again. If they board your Wraith from the front, you lot tin privy silent aim straight downwards to shoot them off of you, albeit at the toll of some of your Wraith’s health. Another affair to live wary of is Spartans camping ground close the Wraith’s spawn together with either jumping upwards to pocket it (never permit them exercise this ever) or beingness all sneaky-like together with waiting for the Wraith to piece of cake autumn off the ledge as somebody starts driving it together with thus boarding it to destroy it. To counter this, whenever I grab the Wraith I ever dorsum upwards a ways, together with thus boost frontward at max speed off the ledge, together with thus concur dorsum inwards midair to maintain the olfactory organ upwards thus it lands as shine as possible. The Wraith is nearly essential for planting the bomb to become well.
If your squad tin privy pocket the Warthog from the Spartans, the bomb carrier tin privy ride shotgun together with live driven straight to the arming point. Rarely happens, but useful to note.
Once the bomb is armed, at most viii seconds on the countdown or thus is the cutoff betoken for disarming it, as at that betoken in that location won’t live plenty fourth dimension to really disarm it earlier it explodes anyway. Also, if an Elite is standing within the zone at the same fourth dimension as a Spartan, the disarm timer won’t tick down. The hardest business office of this stage overall is just getting the bomb armed, ane time it is, it’s almost impossible to really disarm it inwards a existent scenario.
