Mission Start
Note: This mission plays faster on the Master Chief Collection compared to the Xbox 360 version due to shorter load times, different enemy spawn locations, and altered enemy behavior.
After sitting in a cryo tube for 47 seconds, you gain control of chief and are able to start the mission. At the start, we want to use the muscle running technique to maintain full sprint throughout the hallways.

Outside Routes From Slowest to Fastest on Legendary
- Junk Jump: (Without Concussion Rifle) Used mostly on the 360 version of Halo 4 because the concussion rifle is not easy to obtain. Example.
- Slower Concussion Jump: (With Concussion Rifle) Faster than junk jump, but is the slower than the concussion jump. Example.
- Faster Concussion Jump: (With Concussion Rifle) The fastest route, but is more difficult to pull off. (Find Example below called "Hard" Concussion Jump).
Other Dawn Strategies
