*Target the enemy group leader unless the leader is a high-ranked [[Sangheili]], [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]], or Jiralhanae [[War Chieftain]], in which case you should fall back and switch tactics and weapons for the situation. The three aforementioned special units' shielding will disable the needles' impact.

*When you are in a tight spot with a lot of enemies near by on higher difficulties, it's best to hide behind something and pick them off with tracking weapons like the needler. Just stick your head out and target an Elite, or Brute, fire off a clip of needles, and repeat.

*In Halo 2, you can triple wield needlers by single wielding one (needler/ weapon)then dual wielding the other slot.                                  (needler/dual wield weapon+needler) and then single wielding a slot (needler/needler+needler). This triples ammo capacity (you can do this with any weapon that can be dual wielded)
