Defeating Flood

When you kill any Flood that can come back to life by the infection forms, hit the body and it should break apart. This saves ammunition.

Destroying Wraiths

To easily destroy a Wraith and save time and ammunition, go to the back side. Aim at the little circle in the back. With about five to ten shots it will be destroyed.

More grenades

In multi-player or system link mode, when you kill someone slash their dead body with the Energy Sword. More grenades come out of it.

Recharge shields quicker

If your shields are down in Forge mode, press Up and they will recharge.

Exploding grenades

Reload quicker

Melee faster

Very fast Spartan laser fire

In Forge mode get a Spartan laser. Charge it until its almost about to fire. Before you fire, turn into the Monitor. Fly around until you get a target. Before you turn back into a human, hold RT to fire within at least half a second (if done correctly). You can use the Monitor's aimer to aim the laser.

Extra ammunition

To get the same amount of ammo as you would get for dual wielding two of the same gun, have one of the desired gun in your secondary and a different dual wieldable gun as your primary. Dual wield a different gun in your left hand. Then, press RB to swap the right-hand gun for the same gun as your secondary. If done correctly, you should have the maximum ammo as if you were dual wielding the gun in your right hand. You can get even more ammo by dual wielding the same gun. This does not work for battery guns. Also, you must keep the same gun in both slots or you will lose the extra ammo.

Drive AA Wraith

Use the following trick to drive the Anti-Aircraft Wraith. Jump on the top and kill the gunner. Then, bash the hatch open. It should be directly in front of the turret). After you have bashed the hatch open, hit the Brute inside once so his helmet falls off. When his helmet is off, hold RB and shoot him in the head at the same time. The AA Wraith is very powerful and has its own targeting reticule.
