Universe and lore[edit]

The following is a list of all vehicles known by the "Gungoose" moniker in Halo lore that have appeared in the games:

Overview[edit]

The Gungoose embodies the archetypal All-terrain vehicle; it's small, fast, and used to traverse all types of terrain. However, unlike a regular ATV, the Gungoose is armed.

Unlock and acquisition requirements[edit]

In most Halo games, the Gungoose can simply be found either on certain Multiplayer maps or in certain Campaign missions and doesn't need to be unlocked.

Halo 5: Guardians[edit]

In Halo 5: Guardians, the Gungoose can be found on some Arena multiplayer maps.[1]

However, it can be acquired through the Requisition (REQ) system for the gamemode Warzone. To begin receiving the Gungoose regularly in REQ packs, one must unlock the certification. Something that can be acquired randomly from any type of pack.[2][3]

  • Gungoose REQ card

    Gungoose REQ card

Halo Infinite[edit]

In Halo Infinite, the Gungoose is unlocked as a reward upon gaining 1,400 Valor, after which it can be requested at any UNSC-controlled Forward Operating Base.[4]

Variants[edit]

Halo 5: Guardians REQ variants[edit]

Main article: List of REQ cards

There are 5 REQ variants of the Mongoose in Halo 5: Guardians.

H5 Urban GUNGOOSE.png Urban Gungoose Rare
H5 Woodland GUNGOOSE.png Woodland Gungoose
Battle of Shadow and Light 		Rare
H5 ONI GUNGOOSE.png ONI Gungoose Rare

Counterparts[edit]

For the Covenant, the Ghost is a near direct counterpart to the Gungoose. The biggest differences are that the Ghost is single seat and has a booster.

The UNSC also has other vehicles that fill similar roles. The Jackrabbit of Halo Wars 2 with the weapon upgrade, performs similarly to the Gungoose.

Gameplay[edit]

First-person shooters[edit]

Main article: First-person shooter

The Gungoose is small and agile, and it can be used to get places fast and move one or two people. The Gungoose, like other vehicles, can be hijacked. The passenger of the Gungoose can fire most types of weapons from their position, save for detached turrets or dual-wielded weapons.

Disadvantages[edit]

  • The Gungoose was made slightly longer.
