The Elephant is a three-level | The Elephant is a three-level vehicle—almost a mobile base—with the bottom level acting as a respawn area in multiplayer that opens out into the rear cargo tray. | ||
The second level is a walkway/gantry accessed by a ramp that goes around the inside edges of the cargo bay and leads to the driver's cabin. This level is also where one can find the optional [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun]]s. | The second level is a walkway/gantry accessed by a ramp that goes around the inside edges of the cargo bay and leads to the driver's cabin.

The third level is small and elevated, situated beside the cockpit. This is where the main armament is found (in the form of an [[M41 Vulcan]]). The cargo bay carries several [[List of UNSC crates|equipment crates]] built into the external walls, including [[M52B body armor]], [[CH252 helmet]]s, another AIE-486H chaingun and several crates marked [[:File:H3 NerveGas.png|NT/B with a biohazard symbol]]. | The third level is small and elevated, situated beside the cockpit.

The first is the well-known technique of filling the hull with explosives—set to instant respawn—and setting them off. This is a trial and error method, and achieves minimal Elephant flight, in which the player lacks control of the flight and trajectory of the vehicle. For more, see [[Flying Elephant]]. | ||
