Outpost is a Firefight map in Halo: Reach. It is set near Sword Base and the Babd Catha Ice Shelf, largely melted due to the Covenant's glassing of the area. The layout of Outpost is based on the campaign level The Package.[1]
Overview
Outpost is a medium sized Firefight map with plenty of wide open spaces and lots of cover such as boulders, pieces of vehicles and containers that are scattered throughout the field. At one end there is a base and sitting on the left and right of it are two "Tyrant" Cannons, one destroyed and one active. The base has an ammo supply inside and a Turret mounted on the roof. The only vehicle dropped on the map is the Karo'etba-pattern Ghost.
Locations
The following are known locations on the map that are so named on the player's HUD during gameplay:
- ONI Road
- Deck
- Base Front
- Central Fire Zone
- Wrecked gun
- Active Gun
Tactics
- The building labelled "Deck" is the best camping spot. It has only one way leading to the roof: the stairs. All enemies except for Skirmishers and Sangheili Rangers have to climb the stairs to get to the player(s). This strategy also compensates for the effect of the Black Eye Skull, since the player(s) will most likely use melee attacks on the enemy in close range.
- Furthermore, the health packs are located at the first floor and back of the building, making it easier to recover health. Also, the frag grenades are spawned on the left side of the roof top while a turret is deployed on the right side.
- The wall beside the staircase provides cover from the Phantom's turret fire. There is also a combat barrier at the front of the rooftop, which the player(s) can use to shield themselves from sniper fire by crouching in it.
- Players can replenish their weapons from the ammunition crate located along the building's left wall, the back of the building.
- The hazard on this map is the Ghost, which can move around fast in the large map. Either use the Target Locator or the Rocket Launcher to destroy it. You can also kill the ghost if you stand still and shoot it with a dmr. This has proven useful in many scenarios when the ghost stays in the same spot and as long as you don't move, you can repeatedly shoot at it giving you points.
glitches
If you die while on the deck (and you have a dmr or a plasma cannon) you can't pick them up again. they will appear to have no ammo and can't be used again (this glitch is new to me so if you play the map outpost and you encounter the glitch with a different weapon, please put it below).
