“Forerunner” is the primary mission in Halo 4 the place you’ll encounter Prometheans, a faction of enemy new to the Halo franchise. Along with new enemies, there are additionally new Promethean weapons that you’ll start encountering on this mission. You’ll principally use the sunshine rifle, which is a 3-shot-burst headshot weapon just like the UNSC battle rifle. You will have to make use of the sunshine rifle as your headshot weapon all through this mission. The Prometheans don’t use covenant weapons, so you’ll not often have entry to a plasma pistol when combating the them. Subsequently, if you end up combating Promethean knights (the Promethean equal of elites), you have to to make use of totally different ways to take away their shields. For almost all of this mission, you’ll use the Promethean suppressor, a quick firing assault rifle that offers excessive harm up shut. Use a mix of your auto sentry (an armor skill), grenades, and suppressor hearth to kill the Promethean knights. It’s vital that you simply combat them alone, so you’ll want to kill any crawlers or watchers (the Promethean gentle infantry) in an space earlier than you interact the knights.

You start this mission within a forerunner teleporter hub with an assault rifle, a magnum, and a tough gentle defend. The hardlight defend is a virtually ineffective armor skill, so swap it for one of many auto sentries situated on the partitions to both facet of you. The auto sentry armor skill means that you can create a stationary, hovering turret that fires upon the enemies. Enemies will are likely to shoot on the auto sentry as an alternative of you, so it offers you with an incredible distraction. It additionally offers a good quantity of harm, so it helps you kill knights when combating them together with your suppressor. When you launch the auto sentry, press the bumper once more to recollect it.

Stroll into the principle room of teleporter hub and insert Cortana into the mainframe. She’s going to then create a teleporter to the primary relay tower that you will want to disable with a view to contact the UNSC Infinity. Leap by means of the vortex, and you’ll teleport right into a cave just a little methods away from the primary relay tower. As you comply with the trail ahead, you will notice the primary Promethean enemies; crawlers. Crawlers are considerably just like grunts; they are often killed with a single headshot and so they wield the weakest weapons. Discover that the crawlers have a lot smaller heads than grunts, so you have to to goal rigorously. Use your magnum to kill these crawlers with headshots, utilizing the nook of the trail as cowl. If the crawlers start to overwhelm you, launch your auto sentry and it’ll drive them again.

Observe the trail till you flip into a big open space. Right here, you can find 6 crawlers, a watcher, and a knight. Use the nook you simply got here round for canopy and kill all the crawlers first together with your magnum. So long as you keep again, the knight is not going to method you. Now, flip your consideration to the watcher. Watchers are assist infantry able to shielding enemies, reviving knights, catching grenades, and spawning crawlers. Watchers do not need heads, so that you normally must kill them with a number of physique pictures out of your headshot weapon. On this case although, your magnum will not be robust sufficient to kill the watcher, so rise up shut and kill it together with your assault rifle as an alternative. If vital, launch your auto sentry to attract the knight’s hearth whilst you interact the watcher.

Now that solely the knight stays, you’ll be able to focus your consideration on him. Knights are just like the covenant elites, however they’ve stronger shields and smaller heads. This knight is supplied with a light-weight rifle, which supplies him excessive accuracy however low harm. Subsequently, get as shut as doable in order that he can’t make the most of his accuracy benefit. Launch your auto sentry in order that it has a transparent shot at him, then rise up shut and use your assault rifle to kill him. After his shields break, proceed to shoot him together with your assault rifle till he dies. Prometheans have far more shields than well being, so when you see their shields break, you recognize they’re nearly useless. Swap your magnum for his gentle rifle, seize his pulse grenades, and swap your assault rifle for one of many crawler’s suppressors. Transfer into the forerunner room up forward.

As you stroll by means of the hallway, it’s best to see two crates alongside the left wall with suppressors that you should use to restock ammo. As you exit by means of the door, a knight with a suppressor will assault you. The suppressor offers extra harm per second than the sunshine rifle, so you have to to be extra cautious when combating this knight. Keep within the forerunner room and launch your auto sentry as soon as the knight comes inside vary. Use the doorway as cowl and step out to fireside at him. Use your gentle rifle when he’s distant and use your suppressor as soon as he will get up shut. If you happen to see the knight cease to throw a pulse grenade at you, instantly throw a pulse grenade at his toes. As a result of knights can’t transfer when throwing grenades, you’ll be able to simply get a direct hit from the explosion. As soon as his shields break, both cost up and end him together with your suppressor or keep again and end him off with a light-weight rifle headshot in case your shields are low. No matter you do, don’t permit the knight to flee when his shields are low as a result of his shields will regenerate in a short time.

Killing knights with headshots is far more tough than killing different enemies with headshots. Not solely do knights have the smallest heads of all the infantry in Halo 4, in addition they have face gear defending their head. Whereas they often detract this face gear naturally, you normally must shoot them as soon as within the face gear after you take away their shields to power them to retract it. Solely then are you able to end them with a headshot. 3-shot-burst weapons like the sunshine rifle or battle rifle can kill an unshielded knight with a single set off pull as a result of the primary bullet removes their face gear and the second bullet kills them.

Transfer ahead alongside the trail to the left and you’ll come to extra crawlers and a knight with a light-weight rifle. Launch your auto sentry to attract the knight’s hearth, kill the crawlers with gentle rifle headshots from the quilt of the rocks, after which kill the knight together with your suppressor. Discover that each knight drops two pulse grenades after they die, so be happy to make use of loads of pulse grenades when combating Prometheans. When you end up in a troublesome state of affairs, you’ll be able to throw a pulse grenade at a knight or a bunch of crawlers to trigger them to dive away, supplying you with loads of time to retreat to cowl.

Proceed down the trail and you’ll come to a platform with many crawlers on the partitions. These crawlers will start leaping in the direction of you as soon as they see you. Kill all of them from a distance together with your gentle rifle. Run onto the platform and up the ramp to the correct the place you can find a Promethean crate with gentle rifle ammo. Restock on ammo and transfer to the ahead fringe of the platform the place there’s a gap within the wall. This opening offers you with a superb sniping place over the enemies under, the place it’s best to see extra crawlers, a watcher, and a Promethean battlewagon. Battlewagons are a better rating model of knights, and they’re outfitted with stronger shields and a scattershot. The scattershot is the Promethean equal of the UNSC shotgun, and it might kill you with a single shot up shut. Subsequently, it’s best to interact battlewagons from a distance every time doable.

Use your elevated perch as cowl to kill all the crawlers under with gentle rifle headshots. Step behind the wall to your left for canopy if vital. Kill the watcher with 3 – 5 physique pictures out of your gentle rifle. Discover that the sunshine rifle offers extra harm when zoomed in, so you’ll want to use the scope when combating watchers. As quickly as a watcher begins glowing purple, it solely takes yet one more shot to kill it. Now you’ll be able to focus your consideration on the Promethean battlewagon. As a result of he’s outfitted with a scatter shot, you have to to have interaction him from a distance. If you happen to keep the place you might be, he’ll come up behind you and kill you. Subsequently, it’s best to leap down into the realm with the battlewagon, dash by means of the cave alongside the correct wall, and dash up the filth ramp to the highest of the cliff forward. The battlewagon will normally not comply with you up right here, so you’ll be able to choose him off from a distance. Launch your auto sentry after which bombard him with both suppressor or gentle rifle hearth till you kill him. If the battlewagon stops to throw a pulse grenade, throw a pulse grenade at his toes to kill him even sooner.

Behind you is a door into one other forerunner construction. Inside, comply with the hallway till you see a detour to your left. Take this detour to restock on each gentle rifle and suppressor ammo, then return to the principle hallway and proceed exterior. Forward of you, there’s a giant space containing 3 defend mills. You will have to destroy every of those defend mills earlier than you’ll be able to entry the relay tower. You start on high of a cliff overlooking the realm, which offers you with a superb sniping place. Earlier than you leap down this cliff, kill as many crawlers and watchers which you could see. Take cowl within the rock inlet to your proper. It will be important that you simply kill all the crawlers under you or else they’ll simply kill you as quickly as you leap down the cliff.

As soon as the coast appears clear, launch your auto sentry to attract the enemies’ hearth and leap down the left facet of the cliff. Instantly leap down the subsequent cliff to your left and again up in opposition to the nook. Wait right here for the crawlers within the space to assault you, and kill all of them rapidly with headshots earlier than they will attain you. After you have safely handled all of those aggressive crawlers, you’ll be able to start destroying the defend mills. Hug the left wall till you come to the primary construction with a defend generator (it’s marked with a waypoint). There are some crawlers, a watcher, and a knight guarding this generator. Until the knight is standing straight in entrance of the generator (which he normally will not be), dash into the room with the generator and melee it as soon as to destroy it. You’re secure on this room; no crawlers will are available and the knights not often are available both. Subsequently, keep on this room to select off all the crawlers (and the watcher if doable) together with your gentle rifle. Take cowl by standing proper subsequent to the sunshine rifle crate within the room; the enemies may have a really laborious time capturing you thru the door if you happen to stand right here.

After you have killed all the crawlers, restock on gentle rifle ammo and exit the room to have interaction the watcher and knight. Kill the watcher with a number of gentle rifle physique pictures, then interact the knight together with your suppressor. You’ll want to launch your auto sentry earlier than you interact the knight and get as shut as doable to compensate for the suppressor’s low accuracy. Now, proceed to the second defend generator. There are extra crawlers, a watcher, and a knight guarding this defend generator. Stand behind one of many giant rocks exterior of the constructing for canopy to kill all the crawlers first. Then, discover the watcher and knight (they’ll stick collectively) and kill the watcher, than the knight. You may then disable the defend generator.

Two knights guard the ultimate defend generator. It’s laborious to combat 2 knights on the similar time, so I counsel that you simply interact them one after the other. Observe the rock wall to your left till you see the outer wall defending the defend generator room. Climb one of many ramps to get on high of the wall. From up right here, place your self in order that just one knight can see you. Use a mix of your suppressor, pulse grenades, and/or auto sentry to kill the primary knight you see. If vital, leap backwards off the wall for canopy. After killing the primary knight, kill the second knight from atop the wall as nicely, then deactivate the ultimate defend generator.

Now you can enter the tower through a ramp within the again. Nevertheless, two watchers and two knights guard the rear entrance. Take cowl within the rocks behind the tower and kill the watchers together with your gentle rifle from a distance. Then, interact the knights one after the other within the cowl of the rocks. You’ll want to use your auto sentry for assist and retreat if the knights try and double workforce you. After you have killed each of those knights, climb the ramp to the second stage of the tower. On this stage, there’s a knight battlewagon. As a result of he has a scattershot, you have to to have interaction him rigorously and from a distance. The battlewagon will normally wait behind a nook to ambush you, so deliver him out of his nook with grenades. As soon as he’s within the open, launch your auto sentry and have interaction him from a distance together with your suppressor. Take cowl behind any of the corners, or in case you are determined, leap off the tower.

Preserve climbing to the highest stage of the tower and you can find a sky bridge crossing over to the relay tower. Cross over and experience the elevator to the highest, then take away the core to clear up the sign you might be receiving from the Infinity. Nevertheless, you have to to deactivate the second station to clear up the remaining static, so Cortana will create a portal again to the teleporter hub that you simply started this mission in. If you happen to have been taking part in co-op and misplaced your auto sentry, now you can swap no matter armor skill you’ve gotten for an auto sentry alongside the wall. Cortana will now create one other teleporter to the second relay station.

Each covenant and Promethean forces are combating for management of this second relay tower. Usually, the Prometheans may have the higher hand, so it’s best to attempt to kill the Prometheans to even out the combat. Subsequently, extra Prometheans and covenant will die combating one another, making your job simpler. Now that you’re combating the covenant once more, you’ve gotten entry to covenant weapons, so you should use the loadout of a plasma pistol and a light-weight rifle. Identical to if you end up combating elites, overcharge the plasma pistol to take away a knights shields. Keep in mind that it’ll then take two headshots to kill them (1 to detract their face gear, one to kill them). When you have hassle getting headshots, I extremely counsel you retain utilizing pure harm to kill the knights. Use the covenant needler as an alternative of the suppressor as your secondary weapon; the needles of the needler house onto infantry and may kill a knight in solely {a magazine} of ammo.

After exiting the cave you might be in, you’ll come to the highest of a ridge the place some elites and grunts are combating some crawlers. Use your gentle rifle to select off the crawlers, then kill any covenant that survived. Presently, I’d counsel that you simply swap your suppressor for both a needler or a plasma pistol from one of many grunts. Proceed ahead whilst you hug the left wall, and you’ll come up behind extra covenant combating a battlewagon and a few gentle infantry. Due to their place relative to you, you have to to kill the covenant first. Often, the Prometheans will take away the elite’s shields, permitting you to kill them with a headshot. As soon as solely the Prometheans stay, launch your auto sentry and kill the crawlers and watchers together with your gentle rifle, then the battlewagon together with your plasma pistol or needler.

Flip your consideration to the ledge alongside the far wall; that is the place you’ll be going subsequent. It is best to see many watchers and a laser turret on this ledge. Laser turrets are motionless Prometheans that fireside a steady laser at you, just like the main focus rifle from Halo Attain. This laser doesn’t deal very a lot harm, should be powered up, and might be keep away from by working round and leaping. Laser turrets do not need very a lot well being, so kill this laser turret with one of many elite’s storm rifles. Burst hearth the storm rifle on the turret till you’ll be able to kill it, then swap again for the loadout of a light-weight rifle and a plasma pistol or a needler. Decide off all the watchers together with your gentle rifle as nicely. If you happen to run out of sunshine rifle ammo, you should use one of many elite’s carbines as an alternative.

On the far proper wall, there’s a filth path main as much as the ledge. Take this filth path up, and you will notice one other knight. Kill him with a plasma pistol and lightweight rifle mixture, or two tremendous combines from a needler. You’ll want to seize extra gentle rifle ammo from behind the rock to your left as you proceed ahead. Proceed alongside the ledge into the subsequent part, the place you will notice a knight kill two elites in Ghosts. Kill this knight together with your plasma pistol or needler, then enter both of the Ghosts. Drive the Ghost into the subsequent part, the place you can find many covenant and Promethean forces combating. Hold again and use your Ghost’s plasma turrets to kill the enemies from a secure distance. Don’t attempt to ram the enemies or they’ll harm your Ghost and simply dodge you. If you happen to Ghost turns into severely broken, drive again the way in which you got here and swap it for a brand new one. After you kill all the infantry, drive into the subsequent part the place you can find crawlers combating grunts and jackals. As soon as once more, use the Ghosts turret to kill these gentle infantry. Exit your Ghost and swap your secondary weapon for a recent plasma pistol. You may then drive into the forerunner construction forward.

In case your Ghost is broken, you’ll be able to swap it for a brand new one alongside the wall forward of you. Drive by means of the constructing and you’ll come to a different relay tower with 3 defend mills defending it. This space is laid out equally to the primary relay tower, however this time covenant forces shield the defend mills. There are 2 Banshees patrolling this tower, and since you’ve gotten virtually no safety from above, they pose a really giant menace. Fortunately, you’ve gotten entry to a Banshee that you should use to take them down. As quickly as you drive your Ghost out of the forerunner construction, you will notice an elite about to get right into a Banshee straight in entrance of you. Instantly start capturing him together with your turrets till you’re taking off his shields. It will trigger him to pause and shake his fist, permitting you to simply ram him together with your Ghost. Now you can steal his Banshee.

Instantly fly the Banshee to a excessive altitude in order that the infantry on the bottom have a tougher time capturing you. Destroy the enemy Banshees by first capturing them with a gas rod, then ending them together with your plasma turrets. It’s best to hit the Banshees together with your gas rod when they’re flying straight at you. After you’ve gotten killed each of the enemy plane, you have to to start participating the enemies on the bottom. Land your Banshee on high of the hill alongside the center of the left wall. It is best to see an unoccupied Banshee on the high of this hill. After you land, use the rocks as cowl and start selecting off the grunts across the defend generator closest to you (in the direction of the place you got here from). One Ghost patrols this defend generator, and whether it is trying perpendicular to you, you’ll be able to snipe the grunt out of it together with your gentle rifle. In any other case, you have to to hijack the Ghost. Make certain you’ve gotten killed all the grunts first, then EMP the Ghost together with your plasma pistol because it approaches your hill. Leap down the hill and rapidly hijack the Ghost earlier than the EMP wears off. Drive to security someplace close to the defend generator constructing and exit your Ghost. Strategy the constructing on foot and be ready to see an elite. Kill him with a plasma pistol and lightweight rifle mixture, then deactivate the defend generator by meleeing it.

Now, transfer on to the defend generator within the again left nook of the realm. At this level, the enemies have moved round rather a lot type their spawning positions, so I can’t assure what you can find. If you happen to see a Ghost between you and the defend generator room, take cowl behind a rock or forerunner block and anticipate it to method you. As soon as the Ghost will get near your cowl, cost up your plasma pistol, EMP the Ghost, dash as much as it, and hijack it. If you would like, you should use any Ghost you hijack to combat the enemies, however I favor to remain on foot.

When you attain the defend generator room, kill any enemies instantly round it and dash into the room. Identical to once you have been on the relay station with the Prometheans, you’ll be secure within the room. Use it as cowl and snipe as many grunts which you could see. There must be a good quantity between you and the ultimate defend generator. Most probably, there may even be a Ghost in your approach as nicely. Carry out the identical technique described above to hijack this Ghost. Discover which you could enter the principle tower for canopy if vital. As soon as the trail is evident to the ultimate defend generator, method it and kill any infantry you see alongside the way in which.

After you deactivate all the defend mills and kill all the infantry on the bottom, focus your consideration on the principle tower. Climb the ramp to the second flooring and watch your radar to find out the situation of the 2 elites on this stage. It will be important that you recognize the situation of the elites as a result of they usually attempt to sneak up behind you and/or stick you. Use any of the corners as cowl and kill them one after the other with a plasma pistol and lightweight rifle mixture. Transfer as much as the subsequent stage and be ready to kill a 3rd elite with a carbine. Now you can proceed to the relay station to deactivate it.

After you deactivate the second relay tower, you’ll be able to clearly obtain Infinity’s transmition, however your swimsuit transmitter is simply too weak to contact them. Subsequently, you have to to achieve Requiem’s core to warn them of the gravity nicely. Cortana will create a teleporter resulting in the teleporter hub, after which one other one resulting in the core. As quickly as you exit the second teleporter, you can find your self in a big Promethean construction with a Phantom dropping 4 grunts and a jackal sniper forward of you. There isn’t a cowl, so keep out of those enemies vary and choose them off from a distance. Make certain you swap no matter secondary weapon you’ve gotten for a recent plasma pistol from one of many infantry; you’ll be combating many covenant within the subsequent space.

The place you might be standing, there are two mirrored paths to the core. In each paths, you can find covenant combating Prometheans, however on the left path, the Prometheans will dominate the covenant and on the correct path, the covenant will dominate the Prometheans. Because of this you’ll combat principally Prometheans on the left path and principally covenant on the correct path. On this case, it’s a lot simpler to take the correct path (not solely are Prometheans stronger than covenant, you’ll be combating Prometheans with one-hit-kill binary rifles). Subsequently, I extremely counsel you’re taking the correct path.

After you stroll by means of the correct door and up a ramp, you’ll be straight behind many covenant combating Prometheans within the distance. These covenant will nearly instantly overwhelm the Promethean forces. Kill any infantry straight in entrance of you, then enter the elevated room to the correct through a ramp within the again. From right here, you’ll have an excessive sniping place over the enemies within the space. It is best to see some grunts, some jackals, and three elites (one with a gas rod gun.) Kill the sunshine infantry with gentle rifle headshots from the room you might be in, and again down the ramp or step behind the entrance doorway for canopy. Look ahead to the elites to return to you and watch out, as a result of they might are available behind you. You could contemplate inserting your auto sentry behind you to assist cease the enemies from sneaking up behind you. Kill the elites with an overcharged plasma pistol and lightweight rifle headshot. Make certain you might be in good cowl when combating the elite with the gas rod gun and, if vital, leap round and transfer sporadically to keep away from his gas rods.

When you kill all of those enemies, the doorways at the back of the realm will open right into a room. Restock on gentle rifle ammo from the crate to the correct wall, then take the elevator as much as the subsequent part. You’ll enter into an space identically laid out to the one you have been beforehand in. As soon as once more, you might be straight behind many covenant combating Prometheans farther forward. Whereas the covenant are nonetheless targeted on the Prometheans, kill the elite with a gas rod gun straight in entrance of you with a plasma pistol and lightweight rifle mixture. The covenant will quickly kill the Prometheans and transfer ahead, so that you as soon as once more ought to enter the elevated room to the left for a greater sniping place. As soon as once more, use your gentle rifle to snipe all the gentle infantry and kill the elites as soon as they arrive to you.

The 2 paths converge a brief methods earlier than the core, leaving you with one final combat. Stroll up the ramp forward of you and you will notice plenty of Promethean crates from which you’ll restock on gentle rifle ammo. Simply previous these crates, three elites (one with a gas rod) are combating a laser turret and three knights (one with a binary rifle). These enemies will normally not kill one another, so you have to to do many of the work. The elites may have their backs turned to you, so take this chance to stun and kill the gas rod basic whereas he’s targeted on the Prometheans. You may then simply end of the opposite two elites with two extra plasma pistol and lightweight rifle combos.

Now flip your consideration to the three knights. Watch out as a result of the knight within the again has a binary rifle. The binary rifle is an extremely highly effective sniper rifle that may kill you with a single physique shot. When the knight is about to fireside, a purple halo seems over his head. As quickly as you see this, take cowl instantly. You have to kill the opposite two battlewagons earlier than you’ll be able to interact the binary rifle knight. To do that, use both your plasma pistol or the gas rod gun from the elite basic. Make sure that you keep in cowl behind the forerunner blocks in order that the binary rifle knight can’t snipe you. Additionally, keep in mind to launch your auto sentry to attract the hearth of the battlewagons whilst you interact them. If you happen to select to make use of a plasma pistol, take away the knights’ shields after which kill them with a number of headshots. If you happen to select to make use of the gas rod, get near them and bombard them with a number of gas rods. It’ll take 2 – 4 pictures to kill every knight.

As soon as solely the binary rifle knight stays, you have to to method him rigorously. Transfer between the totally different items of canopy till you get near him. The nearer you might be to him, the tougher time he may have hitting you. As soon as you might be at very shut vary, leap round rather a lot and kill him with both a plasma pistol and headshot mixture or a number of gas rods. If you happen to ran out of 17 wsm Ammo for sale in each of those, you may as well use a suppressor from the crates that you simply handed earlier.

After you kill the final knight, you’ll be able to method Requiem’s core and use it to contact the Infinity. Sadly, the core was really imprisoning the forerunner Diadact, and utilizing it as a transmitter releases him. He’ll then start destroying the realm, so you have to to flee to the skin of Requiem. You finish the lower scene with 4 Ghosts in entrance of you, so enter considered one of these Ghosts to start your escape. Cortana will feeds your swimsuit’s vitality into the increase of the Ghost, so it has limitless increase and boosts sooner than regular. You will have to drive alongside a protracted filth path with many jumps and tight turns till you’ll be able to escape Requiem. Cease boosting every time you make a pointy flip to show extra simply, and use the increase earlier than and through a leap with the intention to attain the opposite facet. After you comply with the trail for round 2 minutes, you’ll lastly see a portal on the finish of a big leap. Hit the leap with full increase and you’ll teleport to Requiems floor. That concludes “Foreruner”.
