This model of Elephant appears exclusively in Halo 3's multiplayer map [[Sandtrap]], located at each end of the map. It is completely invincible, and open-topped, unlike [[M312 HRV|its counterpart]] in ''[[Halo Wars]]''. The open roof is probably due to the fact that it is a service and repair station, not a troop carrier.
At the launch of ''Halo 3'' and ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the Elephant was exclusively available for play on the multiplayer map [[Sandtrap]], located at each end of the map. With the [[Forge/Halo 3|updates]] given to the [[Forge]] mode of ''Halo 3'' for its launch on PC, the Elephant has been made available for placement on other maps including [[Avalanche]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/mcc-development-update-may-2020|SiteName=Halo Waypoint|PageName=MCC Development Update - May 2020}} It is completely invincible, and open-topped, unlike [[M312 HRV|its counterpart]] in ''[[Halo Wars]]''. The open roof is probably due to the fact that it is a service and repair station, not a troop carrier.


Inside the Elephant is a large screen which contains information on a Mongoose and the Sandtrap's atmosphere, although it is incredibly hard to read. While the vehicle itself cannot be destroyed, its slow speed and lack of armor for gunners render them quite vulnerable. Killing the driver must be attempted from behind, ideally in a vehicle like a [[Banshee]]. In objective-based games, the elephant also serves as a mobile bomb plant/spawn site and flag stand.
