Derelict

4-8 players

Derelict is a multiplayer map in Halo: Combat Evolved. It is set aboard a Neutral artifact, cataloged by the UNSC as Deep-Space Anomaly #0198. It is a very small level that is best suited for 10 or less players, as more can become extremely chaotic, unless that is the desired effect.


 * Derelict was remade as Desolation for the Xbox version of Halo 2.

Weapon Locations

 * Assault Rifle - In front of one of the passageways, and on the other side.
 * Flamethrower (PC/Mac only) - In the middle of one of the second level passageways.
 * Needler - On one of the passageways on the second floor.
 * Pistol - Near both teleporters.
 * Shotgun - In front of a passageway.
 * Sniper Rifle - After teleporting to the second floor, look right.

Power-up Locations

 * Active Camouflage - Tucked away in an alcove on the second floor.
 * Health Pack - In the exact center of the first floor, on a transparent platform.
 * Overshield - Directly above the Health Pack, on the second floor.

Tactics

 * Players must keep a watchful eye on their HUD and radar to prevent charging into a trap, getting attacked from behind, or flanked.
 * Players who prefer long-range combat such as sniping and using the Pistol will likely loathe this level, as it is better suited for short-range combat with such weapons as with the Assault Rifle and Shotgun. The map itself is open, exploiting potential campers. In fact, there aren't many camping spots around.
 * Great trick that works with pretty much any map. If you get stuck with a plasma grenade, head for a teleporter as fast as you can, run into the middle and grab an overshield. This way, you'll survive but unfortunately, stuck with 0% shields.
