Derelict
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Multiplayer Map Infobox
Derelict is a multiplayer map in Halo: Combat Evolved. It is set aboard a Neutral artifact, cataloged by the UNSC as Deep-Space Anomaly #0198. It is a very small level that is best suited for 10 or less players, as more can become extremely chaotic, unless that is the desired effect.
- Derelict was remade as Desolation for the Xbox version of Halo 2.
Locations
Weapon Locations
- Assault Rifle - In front of one of the passageways, and on the other side.
- Flamethrower (PC/Mac only) - In the middle of one of the second level passageways.
- Needler - On one of the passageways on the second floor.
- Pistol - Near both teleporters.
- Shotgun - In front of a passageway.
- Sniper Rifle - After teleporting to the second floor, look right.
Power-up Locations
- Active Camouflage - Tucked away in an alcove on the second floor.
- Health Pack - In the exact center of the first floor, on a transparent platform.
- Overshield - Directly above the Health Pack, on the second floor.
Tactics
- Players must keep a watchful eye on their HUD and radar to prevent charging into a trap, getting attacked from behind, or flanked.
- Players who prefer long-range combat such as sniping and using the Pistol will likely loathe this level, as it is better suited for short-range combat with such weapons as with the Assault Rifle and Shotgun. The map itself is open, exploiting potential campers. In fact, there aren't many camping spots around.
- Great trick that works with pretty much any map. If you get stuck with a plasma grenade, head for a teleporter as fast as you can, run into the middle and grab an overshield. This way, you'll survive but unfortunately, stuck with 0% shields.
