Mongoose - Halo 4

The Mongoose is an ATV transport that allows a driver and passenger to move very quickly over the terrain. Many suggestions of having linked weapons built on the Mongoose will never come to pass, as it is designed exclusively for transportation. Thus it provides the driver and passenger with no cover at all. However, being fast and nimble allows for effective evasion and simple run-bys, denying aggression due to leaving the enemy behind. For an interesting mix have a passenger equip a rocket launcher. The mongoose can also be used very effectively to carry an objective back to base.

How to Use It Effectively - The Mongoose

The first video demonstrate the ability to splatter opponents who don't watch their radars (of course good players would have killed the driver). At around 1.03 the mongoose driver does some evasive wobbling to avoid getting head-shotted by DMR fire, and he takes cover behind the base itself.



In this second video the mongoose driver assists the flag carrier to quickly return the flag. This is one great feature of the mongoose because it is a smaller target than all other vehicles and is the quickest too.

Effective Use

It's quite a short story when it comes to using the mongoose effectively. Most times you will utilise the mongoose to quickly collect power weapons or to transport an objective like the flag. Because of having no firepower and being exposed from every angle, if you get fired upon your best option is to flee behind cover, out of range or to bail out and start shooting back.

In rare cases you may be approaching an opponent and may be able to attempt a splatter. But this could prove dangerous as the mongoose tends flip over instead of killing your opponent. Think of the mongoose as a quick transportation tool only, and you can't go far wrong with it. The mongoose is a means to an end, the end being a quickly obtained power weapon, an advantageous position or a flag capture.
