I heard from a friend that they had played Halo 2 Deathmatch and found something called the Halo Gun. Anyone know of it? If so please tell me where to find it.

PS: Im not sure if my friend's words are genuine.

No. There is a special gun called the scarab gun which is available in the campaign, but to my knowledge there is no special gun in standard games.

I have never been able to find the "scarab gun." I saerched high and low for that damn thing, yet to no avail.

Its in the level where you cross a bridge with a scorpion tank. You have to get a banshee there.

Where do u go after that?

you have to push the banshee through the sewers to the part where you get the warthog. then you ride from there. just search around. the scarab gun looks like a carbine.

I believe it's somewhere on the scarab level (the third level of the human campaign), somewhere along the catwalk near the end but in a place where you don't usually go (maybe you jump onto the scarab first or something). I'm not sure though, I've never found it myself (never searched for it either).

Really? It thought it looked like a plasma rifle.

Yeah, it looks like a plasma rifle. You have to lure or push a banshee through the tunnel after crossing the bridge. The gun is way up on a platform in that area with all the jackal snipers. Just google it if you need more info.

I did and tried but i gave up after 5 fark ups at the part where the banshee dissapears

ADDITION:
Wow i dnt remember putting that smiley in...

You have to ride it before that loading... text disappears. And luring it will be... somewhat very very... er time consuming

Yes I got it to the warp point once but now the Banshees dissapear when i enter the tunnel

Yea you got to keep the banshee in range and sights.
The reason snatching it as it loads at end of tunnel is that it deloads the bouncy banshee barrier (which snaps you against the wall so fast it probably deals about 9000 times more damage than it needs to kill you when you're in the tunnel. Just setting the banshee in the open area outside of the tunnel can be used to launch you across the bridge in 6 seconds) before loading the rest of the level.
Anyway, keep a full weak weapon to attract the bahsee's attention when you need it.


There's all sorts of weird places you can get to. The bottom of Cairo Station, for example, can be gotten to by standing on the head of one of the jetpack elites for around 2 hours. Doing that can screw up their AI and make them float downward slowly.


Note that the scarab gun can also be obtained by launching with a warthog+sputnik skull. Or on co-op launching just about any vehicle up to that bridge. You can do a 5-grenade-stacker launch using the fast-nade overheat glitch with a beam rifle.

There's actualy a couple other scarab guns too. One is on metro when the scarab shoots at the tank. You need to be on co-op and glitch the loading zone so that one player can launch into the air and snatch it. But it only exists for a very small period of time, as the game only uses it to shoot (for some reason some of the scarab shooting moments are accompanied by scarab gun spawnings. bleh). There's also one on outskirts when the scarab fires, which is kinda tricky to get too. I would recommend going for teh bridge one lol.


Also, using the banshee, you can push that one pelican dropship around and get all sorts of crap onto the scarab gun bridge and other places. Like marines and wraiths. Gotta love using pelican as elevator. Not sure because I haven't tried without sputnik on, but it probably helps to have sputnik on to move the pelican with the banshee.







Though, of the 2 games, the coolest bit of level exploration has got to be :
This thing done by this one dude. He had to launch there cuz the banshee can't get there because there's a vehicle berrier that high,. It's such a high obscure area in Halo 1 that most people didn't think the tower had an end in the loaded map area.




Anyway, have fun flying 'shees on metro.

From experience, I know how to get the skull a lot more easier.

Warning: Don't hijack the banshee yet

Step 1: Grab the "Blank" Skull from the Armory level, after you upgraded your shield then wait until Sargeant Johnson mention "Would it help if I said please?" (It should take at least 5 minutes), then go to the elevator, go to the second one and go by the window and you'll find a skull ontop of a box heading your way. Push X to grab it. This skull will not only detect you faster, but it can help to grab the banshee's attention.

Step 2: Go to the Metropolis Level... do Legendary if you want. Kill everything in your way, even teammates. Once you reached the end, kill all banshees and Wraiths except one or two (Two for co-op) when you're using the tank.

Step 3: Go at the end where you start walking inside a dark dirty looking place, make the sure banshee AI is going through the tunnel exit. If so, destroy the wings carefully.

Step 4: Next up, you need to be a good timer, If the wings are blown off, wack the banshee through the tunnel and hold X before it loads. There are two chances to lose your banshee, if you're early... you explode to death, if you're late... the banshee disappears.

Step 5: Drive the banshee out the tunnel, look up and find the 2 bridge buildings, keep going to the one the near one. It'll take a while, but you'll find a small floating Plasma Rifle in the center of that bridge, and you'll also find a warning cone right under it.

How to get the second one
Step 6: You must have a teammate with you, cooperating is the key to get the second one. You obviously just need the banshee to carry the second person ontop. Go by the area with the 3 wraiths, hidden rocket launchers at the left side with a big sign named "TTERAB" (It's Barett in backwards). Observe where the Scarab will be stationary at and place the second player ontop some sort of ledge that is able to reach the area which the Scarab shoots out.

Step 7: There are chances if the second player doesn't teleport, player one goes through the building and ontop where you'll meet somebody which will trigger the Scarab to respawn. When the Scarab shoots, the second player has to jump off and hold X to take the gun.

Now there you go, you can dual wield scarab guns as well... at least my post has the second one.

Not only, but there are other methods to get the first Scarab Gun, you can warthog launch by getting the "Black Eye" skull and the "Sputnik" skull but you'll need a teammate to spawn so you can kill them to drop their grenades for higher expectations. You drive a hog ontop of the grenades, you throw a grenade under the hog and jump ontop of the hog (Or a safer way, yet harder is to drive the hog)

You can also get the Scarab Gun in Outskirts, there are two methods (One method is completely impossible which is launching yourself), you can use one method cooperatively yet much complicated. One player must be in the ocean while the other is in the tunnel preparing to trigger the other person to teleport.

Pretty bad explanation on how to get the others, but beter than my post, so ok.
lol.
If you are really interested in this just go to HighImpacthalo.org (as I'm sure that's one of the sites where KrAzY gets his suff...gotta love HIH)

ok...i cant play co op anymore cuz my friend got mad at me cuz i killed him a cuple of times and he slammed the controller on the floor...it broke

hes a retard. you get your 40 bucks from him.

freak that eather get the money for a new one or a working controller from him

meh, it was half broken anyway...the joystick didnt turn right and I think i put it wrong...that "friend" was my younger brother brother...i wasnt thinking straight when i wrote that message.

I got the banshee but...WHERE IS THE BRIDGE BUILDING?

You know when you are on those walkways at the end that the scarab goes under? Look up.

It takes a while to get to that place.

Thanks...Ill find it now (thank god for checkpoints).

Dude. Find it? They are suspended off liek the tallest building in the level.

We be talkin bout the building that has the 3 shiny towers on top that are like huge antennae. And we not be talkin bout water bridges, we speak of skybridges. As in, suspended over large areas of ground. Kinda like how that first bridge in Assault on the Control Room is. There are 2 bridges, side by side. That is the location of the scarab gun. It looks like a plasma rifle floating vertically a couple feet off the surface of the bridge, with a small traffic cone underneath it.

and dont shoot it too close. you'll get killed.

I FOUND IT! I had searched that area before but from an aerial view...i guess it never loaded from the distance (only about 5 metres off).
