'''Scout Warthogs''',<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> also referred to as '''flatbed Warthogs''',<ref name="CH19">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''Chapter 19''</ref> are a configuration of the [[M12 Warthog|M12]] and [[M12B Warthog]] chassis', with their weapons removed.

==Design details==
{{Main|M12 Warthog}}
"Scout" Warthog vehicles could be considered the "default" state of Warthogs, with their primary difference from other variants being their lack of any discernible armament. Removing the primary weapon from the M12 FAV is typically a simple and straightforward operation,<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Woodland Scout Warthog REQ description]]''</ref> allowing for weapons to be removed as seen fit and the bed of the vehicle used for cargo and/ or personnel transportation. When used to transport personnel, a Scout Warthog is capable of supporting at least five people.{{Ref/Reuse|CH19}}{{Ref/Note|In ''Halo: Contact Harvest'', Johnson is noted as boarding a flatbed Warthog with Dass, Jenkins, Forsell and "the rest of" the members of One-Alpha Squad. Given that One-Alpha has four known members, this means at least five people were aboard the vehicle at this time.}}

===Usage===
Flatbed Warthogs are typically employed by the UNSC for scouting purposes, transportation of food and fuel<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Tundra Scout Warthog REQ description]]''</ref> and as light transports{{Ref/Reuse|CH19}}{{Ref/Reuse|urban}}<ref name="H4SO">'''[[Halo 4]]''', [[Spartan Ops]], ''[[Departure]]''</ref> when necessary. Sometimes, some Warthogs are de-armed due to critical resource shortages.<ref name="urban">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Urban Scout Warthog REQ description]]''</ref> The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] also makes use of Scout Warthogs, though they bear only superficial similarities to their regular counterparts.<ref name="oni">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|ONI Scout Warthog REQ description]]''</ref>

De-militarised Warthogs are also sold to private corporations such as the [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation]] alongside other milspec hardware.<ref name="corp">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Corp Scout Warthog REQ description]]''</ref> Similar vehicles with no weapons are also sold on the civilian market, such as the [[Hog]] and [[M12S Warthog CST]]. Some de-armed Warthogs are utilised for racing.<ref name="rally">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Rally Scout Warthog REQ description]]''</ref>

==Operational history==
In [[2525]], the [[Colonial Militia]] on [[Harvest]] had at least two Warthogs used as flatbeds.{{Ref/Reuse|CH19}} They would later see use in the [[Harvest campaign]], [[Battle for Arcadia]] and [[Battle of the Etran Harborage]] in [[2531]] due to their carry and manufacture by the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} and its deployed [[Firebase]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]'''</ref> "Scout" Warthogs would see continued use throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]] in varied roles when needed, thanks to their versatility. In [[2552]], several flatbeds were present at [[UNSC Training Facility Bravo]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''multiplayer level [[The Pit]]''</ref>

The upgrade to the M12B chassis in the late/ post-war era would also, by extension, create M12B Scout Warthogs. In [[2558]], the UNSC ''Infinity'' carried dearmed Warthogs in its hangars.{{Ref/Reuse|H4SO}}<ref name="H5BlueTeam">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', ''campaign level [[Blue Team (level)|Blue Team]]''</ref> Scout Warthogs were also employed on [[Meridian]] by the Liang-Dortmund Corporation.<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', ''campaign level [[Evacuation]]''</ref>

==Gameplay==
===''Halo 3''===
In ''Halo 3'', Flatbed Warthogs primarily appear on the map [[The Pit]] alongside several [[M831 Troop Transport Warthog]]s, outside of the playable area of the level. Both of the scout Warthogs on the map are slightly damaged. Regular Warthogs can be "converted" into flatbeds through the use of the [[turretless vehicle glitch]].

===''Halo Wars''===
In ''Halo Wars'', all newly-created Warthogs spawn without any armament, making them unable to attack enemies except by way of [[splatter]]ing. The first Warthog upgrade available, however, arms the vehicles with an [[M41 Vulcan]].

===''Halo: Reach''===
Turret-less Warthogs can be created in ''Halo: Reach'' through the use of the same glitch as can be used in ''Halo 3''.

===''Halo 4''===
[[File:H4 - M12 FAV.png|thumb|250px|A Scout Warthog with two Marine passengers in ''Halo: Infinity''.]]
In the first episode of ''[[Halo: Infinity]]'', a flatbed Warthog with two Marines riding in the back cargo bay can be seen briefly.

===''Halo 5: Guardians''===
''Halo 5: Guardians'' introduces the Scout Warthog as a class of vehicle that can be seen in the campaign and called in during [[Warzone]] matches, via the [[Requisition system]]. Like the other UNSC vehicles in the game, the Scout Warthogs come in standard, Corp, Tundra, Woodland, Urban and ONI variants with successively stronger armour. In addition, the "Rally" Warthog introduced as the Rally Scout Warthog provides increased speed over other Warthog models. Most Scout Warthogs can be called in at REQ level 1, and are useful for rapid transportation around the large Warzone maps. The higher-tier Scout variants such as the ONI Scout are also useful in early rounds of [[Warzone Firefight]] for ramming infantry and scoring rapid kills on groups of low-level infantry.
