The '''Olifant''' is a civilian version of the Elephant that has been modified for the purposes of waste management. [[New Mombasa Waste Management]] owned and operated these vehicles, using them as garbage trucks. Olifants are seen several times in [[Mombasa Streets]]. [[Veronica Dare]] and [[Vergil]] use an Olifant as an APC in the level [[Coastal Highway]]. This particular Olifant moves very fast and features shields, unlike other Elephants/Olifants, because of Vergil's modifications. | ||
In the meta-game ''[[Sadie's Story]]'', [[Vergil]] used one to save [[Sadie Endesha]] from [[Kinsler|Police Commissioner Kinsler]] by slamming it into his [[D77C-NMPD Pelican Dropship|Pelican]], then proceeding to dump its payload of garbage on him. The Olifant was then used by Sadie and [[Mike Branley]] to move through [[Covenant]]-occupied [[New Mombasa]], in an attempt to rescue Sadie's [[Dr. Endesha|father]]. It was later destroyed by a [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]] after a [[Tom Uberti|salesman]], who was also hiding in the Olifant, opened the top hatch and attempted to surrender. | In the meta-game ''[[Sadie's Story]]'', [[Vergil]] used one to save [[Sadie Endesha]] from [[Kinsler|Police Commissioner Kinsler]] by slamming it into his [[D77C-NMPD Pelican Dropship|Pelican]], then proceeding to dump its payload of garbage on him.

*There are many methods of achieving the flight of an Elephant on the mutiplayer map | *There are many methods of achieving the flight of an Elephant on the mutiplayer map [[Sandtrap]] in ''Halo 3''. The first, is the well known technique of filling the hull with explosives, set to instant respawn, and setting them off. This is a trial and error method, and achieves minimal Elephant flight, in which the player lacks control of the flight and trajectory of the vehicle. For more information, see [[Flying Elephant]]. | ||
*If you place a Covenant hover vehicle like a [[Ghost]] or [[Brute Prowler|Prowler]] on top of the cockpit, and then drive to the center of the Elephant, the vehicle will stay floating as if there were an invisible floor on top of the Elephant. This same glitch (or a similar one) is present in ''Halo 2'', although with the Scarab instead of the Elephant.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJIdIX4hIMQ YouTube: ''Halo 3 - Invisible Floor On "Sandtrap" Glitch'']</ref> | *If you place a Covenant hover vehicle like a [[Ghost]] or [[Brute Prowler|Prowler]] on top of the cockpit, and then drive to the center of the Elephant, the vehicle will stay floating as if there were an invisible floor on top of the Elephant.
