Any tips for phaeton kills?

I’ll just say I’ve been primarily an arena and firefight player since I started halo 5, so I’m not too sure on some things on warzone.

Right now I’m trying to get commendations completely out the way, although the one I’m most worried about is phaeton kills, as I’ve only got 21 normal phaetons and 9 helios’.

I just played 2 turbo games and I brought out a normal phaeton in each one and they both died in a matter of seconds, with one getting one kill and the other getting none, this makes me scared for the progression of this commendation.

Any warzone vets got any tips for when to bring phaetons out at key points where you can really slay?

In turbo you can die really fast, and if you use the normal phaeton it dies faster, the only tip I can give you is that you try to use them when there are no banshees near you, and try to go near a friend, for example if I have a banshee, you should go with me. But is not easy, If you play vs team probably half of them will go with camos and someone with camo endgame xD

Yeahhhh I think I’ll try and play normal warzone apposed to turbo due to what you said has actually happened to me multiple times in turbo haha. Thanks for the reply and tips though man :slight_smile:

i have the same problem,i miss 50 kills with the phaeton for the commendation, my plan is to bought the " veichle pack" for 80k RP when it comes up and then try to get it in standard warzone or some lucky warzone turbo matches.

Normal Warzone definitely better. If you can find a spot to backup your units and stay out of enemy range you can get a decent amount of Kills.

Soo the regular phaeton is pretty much paper .It does come out earlier than the Helios but one req lvl isn’t that big a difference. You need to play a lot more passive with this one since you can die in like one shot from rockets or lasers. You will mostly want to use the primary gun instead of the rockets since they shoot longer and are more accurate.

The Helios is a much more powerful vehicle and has more health which is nice. You can play a lot more long range with this phaeton since the cleansing beam is very accurate even at greater distances. I would say this is the only one to use since the other phaeton is much weaker but it’s your choice.

You can really only use the phaeton in regular warzone since in turbo everyone can just take you out right away. Unless you are a very good pilot you only want to pull a phaeton in a game where your team has a fairly large lead. This way you can make sure you get a lot of kills. I only say this because phaetons are very rare and only getting a few kills each game you will eventually run out.
