Teabag Prevention Presents: How to Suck Less at Halo Vol.2 – Mongoose
If James Dean lived in Halo’s universe, he would’ve died on this. This is indeed the fastest vehicle in the Halo series. Yes, even faster than the Warthog. And yes, it’s also the weakest. So how do you use it other than imitating Vin Disel? Well…
THIS WEEK: THE MONGOOSE
TIP #1 – MONGOOSE FAST!
The mongoose is indeed the weakest vehicle in the game.
As you can see you’re fully exposed to anything that is to be fired at you. Hopefully, by now you know that the mongoose’s only use is its speed. So how does this make it useful on smaller maps? It doesn’t. Quick getaways + transportation is what you get. Though, the mongoose shouldn’t be used for getaways or you’ll be gunned down quicker than a bank security guard during that one scene in The Matrix. Use it for getaways in plans to overtake a flag during an objective game.
Because once your plan works out, it’s very rewarding.
TIP #2 – LARGER MAPS MAKE MONGOOSE SAD!
The mongoose can be more vulnerable on these maps. Things like tanks and other power weapons can easily deem the mongoose unusable.
On larger maps, transportation should be your concern. If it’s not, then you’ll wonder why you spent the game respawning.
TIP #3 – MONGOOSE MAKE FRIEND!
Turning a mongoose into a lethal assault vehicle is easy: Just climb onto the back.
The most lethal combination is someone with the spartan laser on the back. Other combinations include:
Rockets
Overshield
And for the pros: Sniper Rifles.
TIP #4 – MONGOOSE WEAK, BUT HAVE LOTS OF HEART!
Destroying a mongoose is easy. Pretty much anything can kill it. This is why having an excellent driver with amazing evasive maneuvers is vital. If you have an awesome driver, you might avoid a rocket or two…maybe. But for the most part you’ll definitely be effed if you see ANYONE with a power weapon.
Other things that make the Mongoose an endangered species are:
Laser
Grenades
and the Power Drainer.

Things to Remember
- Only two per Mongoose, best shooter on back, best driver, well, driving.
- Always keep a look out for people tossing power drainers at you.
- Watch out for grenades. They will kill you even if the Mongoose doesn’t explode.
- Driving it into a tank just to jump off and hijack it IS acceptable…if it works out for you (good luck).
- Mongoose loves you
