Scarab Gun
Load up Metropolis in Halo 2 or the Master Chief Collection and let the headaches begin. In essence, finding the Scarab Gun involves luring a Banshee into the city tunnels and riding the Banshee the second the game attempts to create a checkpoint at a key point somewhere along the tunnel. The biggest headaches come from attempting to keep the Banshee interested in you, and of course, keeping it alive.
But players patient enough to pull off this feat are rewarded greatly, albeit, shortly. After riding the Banshee out of the tunnel, you fly directly towards the city’s skyline. Tucked away safely on a rooftop, is what appears to be a totally normal plasma rifle. You know that walking super tank the Covenant unleashed throughout the level? The Scarab? This gun is the hand-held equivalent of that!
When fired, the Scarab Gun shoots giant plasma rounds that are effectively plasma grenades in machine gun form. Just be careful – it’s really easy to kill yourself with this weapon during normal use – it’s that powerful. Once you finally square-up against the real Scarab, you make quick work of the Covenant’s super weapon with this handheld behemoth. Enjoy it while you can, once the level’s finish, the gun is ripped away from your hands.
