The Mongoose | The M274R Mongoose is a variant of the [[M274 Mongoose]] quad bike. The Mongoose served in a variety of roles with the UNSC's ground forces, including as a courier, tow vehicle, and flight line support handler. The Mongoose's heavy suspension can safely handle up to a metric ton of passengers and cargo, and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR]]-clad Spartans made extensive use of it in the [[Fall of Reach|defense of Reach]]. Though rated for use by UNSC tactical and light armored vehicle units, it is neither armed nor armored. Non-Spartan personnel consider the Mongoose a deathtrap in combat, though there were situations when it was used in anti-tank and raiding roles; most notably with [[M41 SPNKR|SPNKr]]-armed passengers providing heavy firepower while expertly trained drivers focused on not rolling over or being struck by [[Covenant]] [[plasma]].<ref name="lootcrate"/> | ||
