Overview
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
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
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
Halo Infinite
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]
