*Deployable | *The Deployable Cover is often used as an area to jump off of, as it is easier to use than the [[grenade jump]] for some players. One of this tactic's best uses is to get both of the skulls from the level [[The Ark (level)]], Famine and Cowbell, in ''Halo 3''. | ||
*In Campaign mode, the Deployable Cover is completely immune to the projectiles fired by [[Flood]] [[Pure Form|Ranged Forms]], making it very useful on the eighth level of ''Halo 3'', ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]'', especially on higher difficulties. | *In Campaign mode, the Deployable Cover is completely immune to the projectiles fired by [[Flood]] [[Pure Form|Ranged Forms]], making it very useful on the eighth level of ''Halo 3'', ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]'', especially on higher difficulties. | ||
*Enemies cannot detect you through a Deployable Cover even on the highest difficulties, so you can just watch your enemies stand there while you pick them off with a [[Battle Rifle]]. This can be especially helpful on the part of [[Crow's Nest (Level)|Crow's Nest]], where you have to battle eight [[Brutes]] and a [[Chieftain]], since there are plenty of Deployable Covers around. | *Enemies cannot detect you through a Deployable Cover even on the highest difficulties, so you can just watch your enemies stand there while you pick them off with a [[Battle Rifle]].
