 During the early stages of the [[Battle for Earth]], M808B Scorpions were used by Marines while [[Battle of Mombasa|engaging]] Covenant within the city of [[Mombasa]]. Upon arriving at the Covenant-held [[New Mombasa 105 East#Kilindini Bridge|Kilindini Bridge]] and rendezvousing with two surviving Marines, John-117 was reinforced with [[12-9F5|an]] M808B Scorpion tank delivered by Sergeant [[Avery Johnson]]. Using the tank, John-117 traversed the suspension bridge in pursuit of the [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] which had previously destroyed his Pelican and passed over the bridge. On the way, he used the Scorpion to destroy large numbers of Ghosts, several Wraiths and Banshees before being forced to leave the tank behind due to massive damage the vehicle had sustained.<ref name="metro">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Palace Hotel]]"</ref> [[957-A3|Another]] M808B Scorpion was deployed in front of a [[Lethbridge Industrial]] building being used as a command post for [[A Company]], after the area was secured by John-117. The Scarab the Spartan had been pursuing soon arrived in the area, and the Scorpion tank opened fire on the walker to no avail before being destroyed by the Scarab's [[focus cannon]].{{Ref/Reuse|metro}}

-Upon arriving at [[Installation 05]], having followed ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' into [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] from [[Earth]], the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} deployed John-117 and a team of ODSTs via [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pod]] to secure an initial landing zone that would allow further reinforcements to be deployed to aid in their mission to assassinate the [[Prophet of Regret]]. At a Covenant-held bridge, the presence of multiple Wraiths necessitated the deployment of an M808B Scorpion tank. Using the armored vehicle, John-117 spearheaded the push through multiple Covenant-occupied Forerunner structures before having to leave the tank to proceed deeper into the ruins.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Delta Halo]]</ref> A short time later, Commander [[Miranda Keyes]] deployed the rest of the ''In Amber Clad's'' forces, including a number of M808B Scorpions into the installation's [[quarantine zone]] in search of the [[Activation index]], seeking to keep it out of the Covenant's hands. Upon the deactivation of the [[containment shield]] by [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee, the Flood were unleashed upon the UNSC forces. By the time 'Vadamee and his team of [[Special Operations Sangheili]] passed through the quarantine zone on their way to the [[Library]], many of these tanks had been captured by the Flood, who were using them, along with other UNSC and Covenant vehicles, to great effect against the [[Sentinel]] defenders.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Quarantine Zone]]</ref>

 By [[2558]], the M808C remained the only variant of the original Scorpion in service with Army and Marine Corps armored units, the M808B having been replaced with the [[M820 Scorpion]].{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}}
