Pick yourself up, dust yourself off. No time for lollygagging here. Looking ahead you can see a large group of [[Unggoy|Grunts]] and [[Kig-yar|Jackals]] moving to attack you. Stay away from the [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]] as cover because it's going to explode and if you are standing next to it you will too. Use your Grenade Launcher to lay into the gaggle and put a serious dent in their numbers. If you are having trouble getting use to the arc of the grenades or how they work, revert the checkpoint and start over. You need to be able to drop the grenades right into the thick of the group before they disperse to have the most effect. Once your enemies have thinned use your DMR to kill the stragglers. Your should be standing near where you started. There are two [[Type-26 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun|Shades]] of the Fuel Rod Cannon variety just out of your sightline. They have a fairly high rate of fire, and you need to stay out of their sights while you deal with the [[Sangheili Ultra|Elite Ultra]] shooting at you. Once you've killed him, bring the Grenade launcher back out and drop a couple of grenades on each Shade to knock them off their stands. Now a [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|Pelican]] will swoop in and drop you a fancy [[M12R Light Anti-Armor Vehicle|Missile Launching Warthog]]. Sweet. | Pick yourself up, dust yourself off.

Hop in the Drivers seat. If you really want you can play musical weapons with the trooper and give him your Grenade Launcher. If you get Kat on the Missile Turret and him firing grenades, it makes the next section a whole lot more explosive. Drive off and approach the first [[Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon|Anti-Aircraft Battery]]. You're going to want to do this in sections. You can't just drive up and kill it(But you can shoot it with the rocket turret from a distance,but it will consume some time and it will be hard | Hop in the Drivers seat. If you really want you can play musical weapons with the trooper and give him your Grenade Launcher. If you get Kat on the Missile Turret and him firing grenades, it makes the next section a whole lot more explosive. Drive off and approach the first [[Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon|Anti-Aircraft Battery]]. You're going to want to do this in sections. You can't just drive up and kill it(But you can shoot it with the rocket turret from a distance,but it will consume some time and it will be hard to stop Kat or the Marine from driving you there). Start by clearing the area below the plateau. There is a [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]] and a [[Type-48 Light Assault Gun Carriage|Revenant]], as well as assorted ground troops, but the Grenade Launcher and Missile Turret are pretty efficient at killing enemies. Once the lower ground is clear, you are going to need to take a little risk. Drive up to the high ground until you can see the enemies pouring out of the AA battery. Withdraw as fast as you can and leave your Warthog Where it can defend the pass. Hop out and head over to the [[Deployable lookout tower]]. Go up and look over at the battery. You should have a good view of most of the enemies. Use your DMR to kill anything you can see, except the [[Sangheili General|Elite General]] with a [[Type-50 Directed Energy Rifle/Heavy|Concussion Rifle]]. Once you've taken care of those you can see, go back to the Warthog. Hop in and head up. Obviously you can't just go up and stand still, but with some creative driving you can avoid taking hits while completing the neutralization of hostile forces. Now that you've killed everything run into the bottom of the AA battery and shoot at the shield with the Assault Rifle you took from the Trooper. Once the shield drops, toss in a grenade and Run. Watch the pretty, pretty lights as the Gun goes boom. | ||
