-Start by going to the left, once in the ramp, throw a grenade to the grunts under the bridge and another one to the jackals in front of you. Grab a Plasma Pistol and sprint towards the Sniper (at the end of the walkway in front of you), start killing everything while taking cover from the phantom that drops elites. Use your plasma pistol to quickly eliminate them. Once all enemies are dead, take the Target Locator and the door will open.

-You should have a plasma pistol at this point. EMP the warthog that is supposed to blow up by leading your shot well ahead of the driving path.

In case that the warthog explodes you need to retry the EMP because the hog is now inside the explosive area/timer.

 You will go over a hill and see a ghost. Hijack the ghost and start driving to the first button at the AA gun.
 This first button is located in the corner of the rooftop. Instead of going upstairs, jump from outside the building and hit the button, you will know that the button is activated because the turret will start to move and shoot enemies. A quick tip is to hold the activate button before jumping to make sure that you press it as soon as possible.

 ==Hunter Skip==
 Hunter Skip is a trick that skips having to kill the two hunters in the garage. It is vital to hit this skip in a run, especially on legendary, to avoid a large amount of time loss. The way that hunter skip works, requires that you do not cross [this line] until you are ready to complete the trick (refer to the image to the right). Because of it's importance, there have been many methods for the trick over the years, so they will be broken down into skill level. All methods work the same on Easy, Legendary, and Co-op.

 *Intermediate/World Class/IL Record Strategy
-You will need to melee the wings off both sides of the ghost for this trick. Do this while you are waiting for the gate to open. Once the gate opens, line up the ghost similarly to this [run], or the image to the right. When you start to boost forwards, make sure to land behind the line [[#Hunter Skip|referenced above]]. When ready, boost along [this path]. You must go as fast as possible until you fully enter the garage, roughly the bottom part of the downward sloping ramp. You will know the trick worked if the elevator button appears while the hunters are alive. Proceed to elevator.

 *Note: If the hunters spawn but the elevator button does not appear, you may have invincible hunters. This occurs from going slow (often bumping a barrier or enemy), and you should revert immediately when this happens to avoid a softlock.
 ===Grenade Method===
@@ Line 101: / Line 101: @@
 We will line up the ghost the same as the [[#Grenade Method|grenade method], however, we will use an armor lock to launch the ghost over. Juggle the armor lock from the crate with sprint, and standing by the circle-engine part of the ghost, charge roughly to the fist part of the icon (about 70% charge), then let go of armorlock. This will launch the ghost over, and continue the route like with the [[#Yolo Method|Yolo Method.]]
 ===Co-op Considerations===
-There is a small adjustment to the [[#Yolo Method|Yolo Method]] strategy that Player 2 will perform. With the rockets equip, Player 2 will shoot at the barricade [at this position] to increase consistency and speed for the trick.

 =====Target Locator Rush=====
 * World Class/IL Record Strategy
-You can try a variation of the easy strat by running to the right and swap your Assault Rifle for a Shotgun with one Marine. Sprint up the ramp and kill the elite either by backsmacking or a shotgun + melee, then walk over the right side and throw a grenade to distract and if possible kill some grunts. While the grenade is traveling, sprint towards the Target Locator and throw another grenade to protect your back, try to headshot all of the Skirmishes on your way to the Target Locator. Finish off the clear with the target locator, like the [[#Easy Start|Easy Method]].

Grab a plasma pistol for later in the level. Grab the target locator and aim at the left barricade at the top of the hill. If all enemies die, the door will open and you can proceed with the level.
