In [[2552#October|October 20]] of that year, during the [[Battle of Earth]], the tank was delivered to [[John-117]] in [[Old Mombasa]] to assist him in [[Battle of Mombasa|fighting]] his way to the [[Hierarch|Prophet]] of [[Prophet of Regret|Regret]]'s [[Solemn Penance|carrier]].

*It is possible to drive the tank past the barricade in the tunnels with a [[Warthog]] and a little patience.
