The M808B | The M808B features a coaxially mounted [[M231 Medium Machine Gun]]. The machine gun is mounted beside the primary weapon and thus points in the same general direction as the main armament, relying in the turret's ability to traverse in order to change arc. | ||

In 2531 the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} utilized multiple M808B Scorpions during the end of the [[Harvest Campaign]]. Later many would be used to defend the evacuating civilians when the Covenant [[Battle of Arcadia|invaded]] [[Arcadia]]. When the Covenant attempted to conceal a [[Type-36 Scarab]] underneath an energy dome several Scorpions were dispatched in order to protect the [[M145D Rhino]]s assigned to take down a portion of the dome. Some of those same Scorpions would help [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]] and his men later destroy the same Scarab. During the [[Battle of Shield World 0459]] many Scorpions were used by the crew of the ''UNSC Spirit of Fire'' to not only combat Covenant forces but the [[Flood]] and [[Sentinel]]s as well. | In 2531 the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} utilized multiple M808B Scorpions during the end of the [[Harvest Campaign]].

*In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the Scorpion tank's cannon was a solid object, but in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'', the player will go through if they try to walk on the barrel - the character's legs will separate from their body. | *In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the Scorpion tank's cannon was a solid object, but in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'', the player will go through if they try to walk on the barrel - the character's legs will separate from their body. | ||
*In ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'', the M808B uses the M808's model from ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', with the machine gun and its operator's compartment destroyed. Because the model was recycled the main turret lacks machine the M808B canonically features. As such gunfire simply appears from beside the cannon. The Wraith experienced a [[Type-26 Wraith#Trivia|similar idiosyncrasy]] when its model was carried over to ''Anniversary''. | *In ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'', the M808B uses the M808's model from ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', with the machine gun and its operator's compartment destroyed.
