*The M68 is (unsurprisingly) an excellent anti-vehicle weapon. It will get rid of enemy light armor rather quickly.

*While not as effective against entire squads, it remains good against single infantry units.

*Outstanding against [[Type-47B Scarab|Scarab]]s in ''[[Halo 3]]'', since the Warthog on which the weapon is mounted is a smaller, faster target for it to hit. An effective tactic is to remain under the Scarab, avoiding the legs and the main gun, while your [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] gunner targets the Scarab's legs. Doing this with a co-op player is even more effective.

*Experienced gunners using this weapon can effectively use the cannon's extremely high damage and accuracy to 1-shot kill most enemies. This has led to many Gauss gunners being able to attain high multi-kills and [[Killing Spree Medal|killing sprees]], especially in [[multiplayer]]. Perfections are also not unheard of, especially if the hog the cannon is mounted on is parked away from the main battlefield.
