===''Halo 3: ODST''=== | |||
Multiple types of Genets are seen abandoned on the streets throughout the campaign. The lights of the NMPD Genets in [[Mombasa Streets]] will flash to indicate points of interest, to indicate [[Audio log|Audio Logs]] close by, for instance. Every Genet in the game has the same number on the left side of its side windows: 1031. Additionally, one Genet was seen at least partially destroyed due to passenger compartment damage, but lights were still functioning. | |||
===''Halo: Spartan Strike''=== | |||
In ''Halo: Spartan Strike'', the Genet appears on the streets of New Mombasa. The vehicle can be destroyed by using a Grizzly to run over it. This, however, will damage you due to the explosion that occurs when it is destroyed. | |||
