Zurdo-pattern Wraith/Gameplay

Campaign

• The Wraith's mortar is extremely powerful and will severely damage anything it hits. However, it is slow to reload, so you do have time between shots to score some big hits of your own. Because of the Wraith’s thick armor, a rocket launcher is an ideal weapon against the tank. Fuel Rod Guns and Spartan Lasers will also do adequately. If you don't have an anti-vehicle weapon of any form, jump in a Covenant Banshee or Ghost and spam plasma fire at the Wraith until it falls. A player can also destroy a Wraith with a few well-thrown Plasma Grenades. Keep some distance as well; the mortar shots are easier to avoid when they're lobbed at far-away targets.
• In Halo 2, two small automatic plasma cannons on the Wraith’s hood offer additional protection against nearby infantry. If, however, you manage to evade these and jump on the vehicle, you can assault the driver with melee attacks.
• On higher difficulties in Halo 2, throwing grenades into the back will not destroy the Wraith, but will kill the enemy driving it after a few explosions. This is more effective compared with punching the driver at the front, as it requires less time.
• A good way to take out the Wraith, although risky, is to utilize a Warthog. With a gunner, drive in a circle around the Wraith, and try to get behind it to the vulnerable rear armor. This is especially effective if the Hog you are driving is either the Gauss or Rocket variation.
• In Halo: Reach and Halo 4 the player can commandeer the Wraith by killing its gunner and operating the plasma turret, rather than boarding the vehicle. The driver will then exit the vehicle and can be killed by the player. This allows the player to commandeer the Wraith intact, without damaging it.
• When squaring off against a Wraith in Halo Reach, it is good to use the evade, sprint, or armor lock armor abilities. Jetpack can also be useful, since the Wraith's mortar is less effective against flying targets.

Multiplayer

• If you manage to get close to it you can board the Wraith and throw a grenade in the cockpit or engine structure, which will completely destroy the tank. An alternative is to beat the driver out without destroying the tank, which instead renders it operational, though this comes at a risk; another player can shoot you off the Wraith.
• The Wraith has different armor strengths at different points on their body. Aim the rocket launcher high up at the face of the tank near the mortar cannon. The bottom-front section of the tank is the strongest point. The tank's rear is also the weakest point on the entire vehicle. If you aim at the right spot you'll save a rocket or two.
• When using the Wraith, it fires better on a vantage point rather then upwards. It does best at closer range eliminating smaller vehicles.
