M12S Warthog CST/Gameplay

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Racing

  • The M12S Warthog CST is ideal for many Cross Country or Dirt Racing events, especially short Cross Country Circuits and Scramble routes.
  • Due to its low top speed of only 192 kilometers per hour (119 mph), it is not recommended for longer routes (e.g. Sprint, Trail), especially on any difficulty above Pro, as it will easily be overtaken by hypercars like the McLaren Senna and Lamborghini Centenario LP 770-4 and other Extreme Offroad vehicles like the Bowler EXR S.
  • Tuning the vehicle is highly recommended to get the fastest lap times possible in Class A.
  • Take advantage of the vehicle's strong launch to overtake opponents at the start.

Freeroam

  • The M12S Warthog CST is ideal for traveling through rough terrain.
  • Its high ride height allows it to traverse through shallow water more easily than most other vehicles.
  • It is ideal for Wreckage skills, as it is more than heavy enough to destroy multiple objects at once without losing too much speed or even breaking a Skill Chain.
  • Giving it the RWD Drivetrain swap may be beneficial for drifting, if properly tuned.
