Mistakes[edit]

  • The tech level required for the Scorpion's 'Canister Shell' ability is 3, not 4 as the book states.
  • In the description of the Boomstick Skull, the Look Daddy Skull icon is displayed.
  • The skull section says that all skulls raise your score, while some lower it.
  • The Shua'ee-pattern Locust is described as being unable to attack air units.
  • The book implies that General is a navy rank while it is not.
  • The Rhino is said to only appear on Dome of Light when it also appears in Scarab.
  • In Escape, it states you fight Covenant, Flood and UNSC, however, you actually fight Covenant, Sentinels and Flood.
