Although the [[M313 Heavy Recovery Vehicle|Elephant]] is the only indestructible [[human]] land vehicle in ''[[Halo 3]]'', it is possible to '''flip an Elephant over''', unlocking an interesting and somewhat funny [[Easter Egg]]. The Easter Egg will say, ''"Hold RB to flip... wait, what? How did you do that?"'', as the Elephant weighs much more than a [[Spartan]] or [[Sangheili|Elite]] can flip, and that the vehicle isn't intended to achieve the speed or maneuverability necessary to flip it over in the first place. <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTtjPFTlKY8 '''Halo 3 Glitch Tutorial:''' Flipping and Flying Elephants]</ref> | |||

First, go into [[Forge]] mode and put all the [[Fusion | First of all, go into [[Forge]] mode and put all the [[Fusion core|Fusion Coils]] and [[Plasma battery|Plasma Batteries]] on the back of the Elephant. Set the [[Plasma battery|Plasma Batteries]] and [[Fusion core|Fusion Coils]] settings so every number is the highest possible. Then stand back and shoot one of the [[Fusion core|Fusion Coils]] and wait until the Elephant lands. | ||
An alternative method is to go into [[Forge]] mode and drive the Elephant, parking it in such a way that there is a lot of room to one side. Place about ten [[Fusion core|Fusion Coils]] or [[Plasma battery|Plasma Batteries]] at the opposite side in the gap between the treads. Set the run time minimum of the explosives to the same number as placed on map. Shoot the explosives, and the Elephant will flip to one side. | |||

Take an Elephant up to the opposite side of the "alley" from the wrecked phantom, turn to face it, and drive up the right-hand structure, making sure the left-side tracks are on the ground, and the right-side tracks are on top of the aforementioned structure. Then, simply drive forward, making sure not to slip off the structure, until the Elephant overbalances and tips over. | Take an Elephant up to the opposite side of the "alley" from the wrecked phantom, turn to face it, and drive up the right-hand structure, making sure the left-side tracks are on the ground, and the right-side tracks are on top of the aforementioned structure. Then, simply drive forward, making sure not to slip off the structure, until the Elephant overbalances and tips over. Fair warning to those on the ground: Once it tips over, gravity will speed it up to the point of potentially causing a splatter (or betrayal) should you be on foot. | ||

In the case of the Elephant, when it sinks too much, it will be shot out of the ground and the Elephant will be sent flying. Usually, it will not be sent too high, but in cases of extreme lag, it can be shot all the way across the map. At times this can cause absolute havoc, causing the Elephant to crush players and vehicles, or send them flying. | In the case of the Elephant, when it sinks too much, it will be shot out of the ground and the Elephant will be sent flying.
