Flying Elephant: Difference between revisions

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

(→‎Method Two: Improved a ref.)
Line 12: Line 12:
First, the Elephant will buck from the missiles, but with the Fusion Coils instantly respawning, the force of the explosion will start to carry it skyward. Once the Elephant clears enough ground to begin orbit, it will not come down unless interfered with. Despite being very high in the air, the Elephant will only travel around the outer ring of the map, as there are Elephant-only [[Invisible Walls|invisible barriers]] that prevent it from going anywhere else.

{{quote|Petar, one of our engineers, found a saved film from one of our testers playing on Sandtrap. He basically placed a RIDICULOUS number of exploding fusion cores on and inside the Elephant vehicle. They had their respawn times set to as close to  “instant” as Forge allows, so that every time one exploded, it respawned. Now, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what kind of chain reaction this would cause once a single core was detonated.''
