Scarab.. The facts?
[u][b]The Scarab.[/b][/u]
It has eluded a lot of us... what do we know about how to earn it, what are the facts?
Some say you need 14 n 0.
Some say its random.
Can you go searching for the Scarab with loses on your card?
Please let me know what you guys know and about your stories of how you earned your precious Scarab! ☺
[b][u]Edit[/u][/b]
So do we think the drop rate has increased? Or is it still as allusive as ever?

9 RepliesYou ask, and I shall answer, OP. The [b]Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform[/b], colloquially referred to as the [b]Scarab[/b], is a Covenant Empire mobile mining platform modified for combat. [b][u]Technical information[/u][/b] Length: 48.6 meters Width: 48.3 meters Height: 50 meters (Halo 2), 38.8 meters (Halo 3) Mass: 3,439 metric tons Max speed: 47 miles per hour Engine unit(s): Quadrupedal walking-leg assembly Shielding: None [b][u]Armament[/u][/b] Main Plasma Cannon Anti-Aircraft Turrets 3 Anti-infantry Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapons [b][u]Crew[/u][/b] One Commanding Officer Numerous Crewman and Security Personnel A Lekgolo colony Passengers: [i]Jiralhanae, Sangheili, Kig-Yar, Unggoy[/i] The [b]Scarab[/b] is heavily armored and highly resilient to even high impact, high explosive tank shells. It is not indestructible, however, and sustained fire on its legs will cause the armor to break off and the [b]Scarab[/b] to momentarily pause. During this time, the vehicle can be more easily boarded. The various Covenant crew members will continue to defend their mobile assault platform, making boarding the [b]Scarab[/b] a tedious task. Once dispatched, the player must make their way to the stern and assault the power core. Once it has been crippled, the power core will begin to overload. The player then has [b]7[/b] seconds to flee to a safe distance before the [b]Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform[/b] explodes. The explosion is so colossal it they can be seen from orbit. An alternative strategy is to stay behind the [b]Scarab[/b] and maintain heavy weapons fire on its rear armor. Like the leg armor, once it has taken enough damage, the metal plating protecting the rear will collapse, exposing the power core. Shoot the core to start the Galaxy's biggest fireworks show. I hope this post has educated you and slaked your thirst for knowledge on this subject, OP. Good luck in going toe to toe with these terrifying weapons of war. P.S. [b]Scarabs[/b] are worse than gonorrhoea infected chodes on Legendary difficulty.
