*If you have four people, a good strategy is to have one player use the Spartan Laser and Sniper and make him snipe and pick off the Wraiths. Have two players use the Warthog and the third use a chopper. Alternatively, you could have the third player use the Sniper, making the Spartan Laser player use a chopper to get to the Wraiths faster. | *If you have four people, a good strategy is to have one player use the Spartan Laser and Sniper and make him snipe and pick off the Wraiths.

*Save your hammers for the third wave. A regular bash will kill most enemies in two hits, with the exception being Brutes and Hunters. Use the trigger bash on vehicles coming too close or hunters. Save these during Black Eye rounds, their bash will kill enemies fast and heal you as well. This works well when you have a group of enemies, as you can kill a majority of them fast and use the last one as a health punching bag with an alternative weapon. | *Save your hammers for the third wave.

*Good spots to hide are under the staircase in the base and behind objects in the spawning rooms. Use this if you're going for your [[Be Like Marty (Achievement)|Be Like Marty]] achievement and want to avoid any type of contact with Covenant. | *Good spots to hide are under the staircase in the base and behind objects in the spawning rooms.

*If playing by yourself and on Legendary, getting a Chopper is ''strongly'' recommended, as you will have infinite ammo, speed, and can kill enemies at a distance. Alternatively, you can use the Anti-Air Wraith Glitch and take command of a Wraith (who are rigged to explode like AA wraiths are in the main campaign) but without a second person to be the gunner, you will be almost defenseless against drones, | *If playing by yourself and on Legendary, getting a Chopper is ''strongly'' recommended, as you will have infinite ammo, speed, and can kill enemies at a distance.

*Don't try to eliminate Wraiths with the Chopper and the Warthog, especially with Black Eye and Tilt on, they won't get any damage and deal a ton of damage to you, switch to your Spartan Laser. | *Don't try to eliminate Wraiths with the Chopper and the Warthog, especially with Black Eye and Tilt on, they won't get any damage and deal a ton of damage to you, switch to your Spartan Laser. | ||
*The cliffs on the side of the map make excellent sniping positions. The chopper (with enough patience) can get you to points otherwise inaccessible on top of the rocks. | *The cliffs on the side of the map make excellent sniping positions.
