The Sangheili sends in two Minor Unggoy and a Kig-Yar Sniper to engage them, and the sniper nearly hits Butkus. Walpole, the squad's sharpshooter, easily takes the Kig-Yar out. The Kig-Yar's body falls from the ledge and lands next to the two Unggoy, scaring them back to their previous location. The first Unggoy gets by the Sangheili, however, it manages to grab the second one by the neck, then throws it aside. It then activates its [[active camouflage]] and leaps down towards the ODSTs. | The Sangheili sends in two Minor Unggoy and a Kig-Yar Sniper to engage them, and the sniper nearly hits Butkus.

The Sangheili takes out its [[Type-1 energy sword|Energy Sword]] and slashes at Butkus, connecting with the ODST's [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]] and cleanly severing it.

Butkus falls and grabs a [[Type-25 plasma pistol|Plasma Pistol]], originally in the possession of the Unggoy. The Sangheili then throws a [[Type-1 plasma grenade|Plasma Grenade]] at Fones' helmet. The ODST yelps in surprise, takes the helmet off and throws it back at the Sangheili, the detonation draining its shields and deactivating his active camouflage. The Sangheili jumps down and grabs Walpole, using him as a hostage, with the Energy Sword at his throat. Walpole tells the ODSTs to take him out: Butkus fires an overcharged Plasma Pistol at signal of Fones (Stacker in the remastered version) and takes out the Sangheili's partially regenerated shields and Fones (Stacker in the remastered version) finishes it off with his Battle Rifle. The Sangheili falls and drops its Energy Sword. Slowly, its hand unclenches, deactivating the Energy Sword. | ||
Cortana contacts Stacker and tells him to find a safe spot and that they'll come to him whilst the ODSTs congregate around the dead Sangheili with Walpole delivering a swift kick to the corpse. | Cortana contacts Stacker and tells him to find a safe spot and that they'll come to him whilst the ODSTs congregate around the dead Sangheili with Walpole delivering a swift kick to the corpse. | ||

*In the original cutscene of "Outskirts" only the Pelican with Master Chief gets shot by the turret. Here, however, the Pelican holding the ODSTs get shot first at the engine by the turret which then proceeds to shoot down the one carrying Master Chief.
