The Assault Rifle is very effective against Elites in Phase 1 and beyond when you feather the trigger and fire short 2-3 shot bursts, especially due to the Elites’ large hitboxes compared to Spartan players. Do not ignore the autoaim reticle, you can completely take your eye off the enemy and be able to land almost all your shots using it. The Plasma Repeater is actually not useless, believe it or not, it does high health damage, and combined with Elite players getting the exclusive aim assist reticle to help you lead your shots makes it very easy to land a long barrage. Experiment with Evade and find interesting ways to use it as a movement option. You can run from Breakpoint’s spawn all the way to the right side capture point in about 12 seconds by slingshotting yourself off the ledges with Evade. On that note in Phase 1, Evade can let you traverse very far very fast, try rolling right at a ledge (especially one that is an upward slope) to slingshot yourself far ahead.

It’s easier to spam it to land 4 or 5 shots to drop a Spartan’s shields instead of trying to land the charged shot. Try to always have at least 1-2 Elites running Active Camo in any Phase 1 to help provide motion sensor cover for your Warriors. This allows you to carry a Core at nearly double the speed of regularly walking it.Įlites jump slightly higher than Spartans and can make jumps that Spartans normally can’t. When carrying the core, jump and press the shoot button/mouse 1 to drop the core, this will throw it forward, immediately hold the pickup button to pick it back up, repeat. I cover spawn locations in each map’s section in the guide, I am still unfamiliar with 343’s forge world Invasion maps. This section will cover important tips that apply in general and are not exclusive to any Invasion map.Īlways utilize power weapons your team has, and learn where they spawn. Throw a grenade or shoot at him to delay the buddy spawn. Conversely, if you see a floating red arrow where there’s clearly no enemy, you’re likely looking at a cloaked Elite with someone trying to spawn on him. You can change your spawn position with the up and down arrow keys.

IF YOUR BUDDY IS CLEARLY TRYING TO HIDE OR ABOUT TO DIE, DON’T SPAWN ON HIM. If you try to spawn on your teammate, or they try to spawn on you, it creates a giant floating red arrow above them that is visible through geometry. That means they can see each other’s callsigns prioritized over all other teammates on their HUD, and they can spawn on each other. Each team of 6 has 2 players on said team linked together as a fireteam.
