*If you are new or rusty to using the M6D in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the best tactic to use against Elites is to first hit them with short bursts (or full auto at close range) from the [[MA5B ICWS Assault Rifle]] then switch to the pistol for the final blow. This not only saves ammo but reduces the risk of having to switch out the weapon for another. | *If you are new or rusty to using the M6D in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the best tactic to use against Elites is to first hit them with short bursts (or full auto at close range) from the [[MA5B ICWS Assault Rifle]] then switch to the pistol for the final blow.

The same will happen if you manage to get them in their exposed fronts. This is easily achieved by getting the Hunter to charge you, while back-pedaling furiously, letting it swing at you (exposing its front) and popping one round into it at point-blank range. | ||
