Destroying the Scarab

An easy way to destroy the Scarab is to use the "Stop and Drop" method. This is done when a player takes the heavy weapons and gets on the passenger seat of the Hornet. The driver can have any weapons. Have the driver take off and hover above the first Scarab (your choice). Hover about five to ten feet above the Scarab. Have them take cover up on top near the blue plasma cannon. Have the driver stay in the vehicle and kill the Brutes around the entrance. Then, have the driver go around to the back while the driver flies behind the Scarab. The passenger who is on the Scarab should shoot the power core until it is set to explode. That player then jumps off the back behind the Scarab. Have the Hornet pilot drop down and have the other player get in the passenger seat again. Fly to the next Scarab and out of the blast radius. Repeat the process with the other Scarab. (Screenshot)

Ride the Pelican

On the "The Covenant" mission you can ride the Pelican. This may require several attempts. At the part where black bars appear and one says "If You Want It Done Right...", proceed normally. You can stop at the second tower and get the Thunderstorm skull if desired. When you are at the third tower, there should be a Phantom and some Banshees. Blow them up. The Pelican should advance towards the tower. You can park the Hornet on it and hop out. The Pelican will probably throw you off the first few times. If you are playing in Co-op mode, you can have you friend park his Hornet on the ground near the tower to the left. If you are skilled enough, you can jump from the Pelican to the Hornet.
