*The plasma pistol is quite useful for taking out Campers in maps such as Rat Race, where there are Covenant Shields, because it is capable of disabling the shield temporarily, opening up the camper to shots from your team mates, or your secondary weapon if you are doing this alone. | *The plasma pistol is quite useful for taking out Campers in maps such as Rat Race, where there are Covenant Shields, because it is capable of disabling the shield temporarily, opening up the camper to shots from your team mates, or your secondary weapon if you are doing this alone. | ||

The best tactic is to hide behind cover luring the Banshee until it either attempts to splatter you or flies right past you. | *In ''Halo 3'' the plasma pistol is the best weapon to use when disabling enemy vehicles when a power drainer is not available, though using the plasma pistol against vehicles will require a great deal of luck and skill.
