Scorpion

Summary


The Scorpion M808B Main Battle Tank is the UNSC tank named for its shape, with its main gun resembling a scorpion's stinger. It has a short-to-medium-range machine gun and one powerful cannon. It can seat a driver, a gunner(This does not count for SPARTANS or the Covenant. ) and four passengers. While the main cannon can only shoot one round every few seconds, the machine gun has unlimited ammo, and can mow down troops while the cannon is reloading. In Halo 1, the main cannon takes four seconds to reload, while in Halo 2, reload speed has been increased, but at great cost to driving speed. In Halo 2, the machine gun 's accuracy has also been increased.

Combat
While the Scorpion can seat four passengers, in Halo 2, you cannot board it as a passenger as the Master Chief or the Arbiter, you may only drive it. In Halo 2 multiplayer, the Scorpion is strictly single-user as allies still cannot board it. In Halo, Passengers of the Scorpion tank can fire whatever weapons they are carrying in the same fashion as the Warthog, but are much more exposed to danger than Warthog passengers.

To hijack a Scorpion in Halo 2, one must melee out the hatch (or the back panel) and kill the driver, just like with a Wraith. Grenades may also be planted inside after breaking the hatch.
