*It is possible to save this tank from destruction. When arriving in this area to destroy the {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}, steal a [[Type-32 Ghost]] and keep it alive. When the door opens to let you into the building, take the Ghost inside. With a little time and patience, you can get the [[Type-32 Ghost]] (or a [[Warthog]]) to the roof. Once on the roof, drive off and get to the tank as soon as possible. Get in the tank and move it straight back. If you are quick enough, the Scarab will not fire, and the tank is saved. Also, if the tank's operator survives, he will appear to be holding an invisible firearm.
