During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the V1 Scarab was deployed much less extensively than its V2 counterpart. The V1 is considerably larger and more heavily armored, capable of withstanding [[M512 Smooth Bore High Velocity Cannon|90mm shells]], [[102mm High-Explosive Anti-Tank|102mm shaped charges]], [[12.7x99mm Armor-Piercing|.50 caliber rounds]], [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile]]s,<ref name="Metropolis"/> and even [[Unidentified UNSC deck gun|low-velocity MAC rounds]].<ref name="HW Scarab"/> Due to its greater size, the V1 is less maneuverable than the V2 and thus, in addition to its lack of deck-defense weapons, is more vulnerable to [[boarding action]]s. However, it can carry a larger complement of warriors to defend itself.<ref name="Metropolis"/> An energy field can be deployed in the access corridor to prevent boarders from reaching the cockpit.<ref name="TGJ"/> Even while the platform is under construction, the V1 boasts impressive firepower, being able to fire its focus cannon almost indefinitely.<ref name="HW Scarab"/> | During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the V1 Scarab was deployed much less extensively than its V2 counterpart.

This Scarab was extremely well-armoured, and despite its incomplete state and immobility, survived multiple UNSC attacks. It projected a beam of light that showed where its attention was focused, and slowly began to demolish a line of [[Arcadia Forerunner ruins|structures]] protecting a UNSC [[firebase]]. To slow down the speed of its searchlight, the UNSC had to destroy [[List of "seven" references in Halo|seven]] power nodes before finally attacking and destroying it. Given the design of the chassis, it is likely that this is an excavation Scarab, much like the ones later seen at the [[Battle of Mombasa]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''' level, ''[[Scarab (level)|Scarab]]''</ref> | This Scarab was extremely well-armoured, and despite its incomplete state and immobility, survived multiple UNSC attacks.
