With the Field Marshal dead, it's time to man the Mass Driver.

In it you'll be engaged by multiple Phantoms and Banshees before aiming for the incoming {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}. While this section is easily done on Heroic and lower, it's much more luck-based on Legendary. In Legendary the Covenant's projectiles are so strong and travel so fast that often times it's impossible to complete this section in one go. So if you're worried things will go awry, enter and then exit the mass driver to trigger the Phantoms and hide by the stairs. Then when the cruiser arrives, run back up, deploy a hologram to distract all the dropships, jump in the mass driver, and fire a single shot at the cruiser to end the mission. | ||
But if you're going to do this the hard way, then here's what to do. Two rules. First, prioritize Banshees. They may be smaller, but they're faster than Phantoms, have much longer range with their weapons, and one fuel rod from them will kill you. Second, check your blindspots every three shots. Phantoms that come from above or from the right tend to be harder to see and those are the ones that will cause you problems. And as an optional rule, don't be discouraged. If your shields recharge, that's a sign that you're doing good and can survive this bout. | But if you're going to do this the hard way, then here's what to do. Two rules. First, prioritize Banshees.
