These legs are surprisingly deft and accurate for their size, and are even able to find holds in narrow places, such as a canyon on [[Installation 05]] or the streets of [[New Mombasa]]. These legs can also be used for weapons, anything that gets in its way get impaled by a monstrous pointed leg. Because of the Scarab's size and weight, they are not able to climb tall walls and buildings, and are not skilled at making sharp turns, as evident in the level [[Metropolis]]. | ||
To defend itself from aerial attacks, the Scarab sports two turrets that shoot large red plasma bolts similar to the [[Shade]] or [[Shielded Plasma Cannon]]. In [[Halo 2]], they were only seen being used once, in the opening cinematic of [[Outskirts]], but the other Scarab seen later in the game also had them. indicating that the turrets may be part of the role of the second pilot. | To defend itself from aerial attacks, the Scarab sports two turrets that shoot large red plasma bolts similar to the [[Shade]] or [[Shielded Plasma Cannon]].
