Editing Zurdo-pattern Wraith/Gameplay

*The Wraith's mortar is extremely powerful and will severely damage anything it hits. However, it is slow to reload, so you do have time between shots to score some big hits of your own. Because of the Wraith’s thick armor, a [[M41 rocket launcher|rocket launcher]] is an ideal weapon against the tank. [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Guns]] and [[M6 Spartan Laser|Spartan Lasers]] will also do adequately. If you don't have an anti-vehicle weapon of any form, jump in a Covenant Banshee or Ghost and spam plasma fire at the Wraith until it falls. A player can also destroy a Wraith with a few well-thrown Plasma Grenades. Keep some distance as well; the mortar shots are easier to avoid when they're lobbed at far-away targets.

In ''Halo 2'', the Wraith received a graphical overhaul and its color scheme is more of a blueish color and is now drivable by the player. In addition, the Wraith now has two weapons: the standard plasma mortar and two automated plasma cannons. However, the player cannot utilize these turrets themselves, meaning that the Wraith is somewhat less effective in the player's hands. The turrets auto-target any enemy within range, making boarding a Wraith more difficult. Additionally, when a player boards a Wraith, they must wait a few second delay before being able to fire the Wraith's plasma mortar. The Wraith also includes a boost drive, capable of tripling the tank's speed for about one second and requires five seconds to recharge. Though this can be used to travel faster, it is commonly used to run over enemies who are getting too close and is extremely effective due to the Wraith's reverse speed being identical to a Spartan's or an Elite's running speed.

In ''[[Halo 4]]'', the mortar arcs a lot more. They are also a red color, closely resembling the mortar shots fired by the {{Pattern|Rizvum|Revenant}}. Once again, Elites are often seen manning turrets. It is also impossible to hijack a Wraith by boarding it and pummeling the driver, as the Wraith itself will be destroyed in the process. Instead, one has to kill the driver through other means, such as with a Sniper Rifle or meleeing the driver after jumping on or getting in the gunner seat like in ''Halo: Reach''.

In ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'' and ''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]'', the Wraith can be boarded from the side. The boarding is easier in the mainline games and will not deal any damage to the Wraith itself as the driver will come out and the player character will kill the driver in just one punch, then be able to drive the Wraith. The Wraith has two attack functions; turret and mortar. The turret function is used by pulling the trigger while the mortar is used similarly to the grenade function, allowing the player to see the target of the projectile. It deals 1/3 damage to enemy vehicles except for Ghosts, which require two direct shots to destroy, and Grizzlies, which need around five to six shots to destroy. It requires only one shot to destroy vehicle wreckage, while Ghost wreckage can be destroyed simply by running it over. When hijacking, both vehicle and player will be invulnerable until the process is completed. When the Wraith sustain heavy damage (Below 33%), the driver will force themself out from Wraith and player can commandeer it. Note that destroying Wraith before the driver is successfully out from vehicle, you will not earn double kill medal. Due to game mechanics, slightest splatter can instantly kill player and enemies.

Wraith Invaders are exclusive to [[Pavium]] and can be made at the [[Banished outpost]] once the leader power has unlocked them. Like the [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantom|Banished Phantom]] the Wraith Invader primarily serves as a troop transport for 3 infantry squads. In Blitz Wraith Invaders cost 100 energy.
