Riding a Pelican: Difference between revisions

During the battle against the two Scarabs, [[Miranda Keyes]]' Pelican -- seen flying during the battle -- is also rideable. When Sergeant [[Stacker]] yells, "''Hornets inbound!''", if you stand on the little ledge where the Hornets land, you can see where the Pelican lands for a couple of seconds and then flies off. Restart from a checkpoint, and rush to that position (it is recommended that you use a Warthog). The Pelican's troop bay will be closed, but if you jump onto the hood of your Warthog, and jump while holding '''RB''', you will enter the Pelican and will be able to actually ride in it. Another method is to get into a hornet, and jump out of the driver's seat when close enough. If done correctly, and '''RB '''is hit on time, you'll be able to get into the pelican. Alternatively, in Co-op, one person can stand on the wing of a Hornet, while another player hovers to the Pelican.

The easiest way to do this in [[Halo: Reach]] is to go into [[Armor Lock]] atop a [[Pelican as it is taking off, if done correctly the player should stay on the Pelican long enough to escape the map.

There are 3 Pelicans in this mission, the first and easiest one appears outside the base and drops off a [[Warthog]]. If you use the technique mentioned above you should be able to escape the map and walk around the area behind Sword Base, eventually if you keep walking you'll start going up and hit an invisable wall. The other two Pelicans will simply drop you back on the map.
