Just curious if those mongoose cards are more helpful than people think.
Pretty sure that they can’t. Never seen 'em do it in campaign, WZ, or WZFF.
In theory they should be able to steal anything but I don’t think they care since they more likely to only attack vehicles that might give them a tactical advantage like a ghost or warthog with turret, etc… Somehow I doubt 343i made animations or programmed them to steal anything like Mongooses because then they’d be easier to kill.

They’ll steal scout and just be a huge target and elites will even try to steal warthogs, they just weirdly stand over them since they aren’t programmed to drive them.

We never see them do it because no player with a brain would ever use a mongoose 99% of the time when playing with the intent of winning.
I guess I’ll have to mess around in WZFF.

I think you’re right, I kind of forgot about that, I guess it might be down if a player survives long enough in a vehicle for a AI to warrant attempt at stealing one since too easy to kill players in Mongooses while a warthog has more cover to help survive longer.
This was way back in the Warzone firefight beta, I had some soldiers hijack my gungoose. Not sure if that counts or has been patched. He drove a bit but didn’t really shoot.

Well, I’ve used Gungooses before in WZFF and not once have I been hijacked by an AI, Promethean or Covenant.

Darn…I guess you’re the 1%.

Not true. Gungeese and their infinite grenades can be very useful in WZFF especially with the grenadier armor mod which not only boosts their damage, but also lets you throw them more rapidly. And I’ve definitely had my gungoose hijacked by Promethean soldiers before. I’ll save a clip next time it happens
Edit: LethalQ beat me to it

That’s why I didn’t say 100% lol.

Yes also I should have clarified, Gungeese are far more useful than Mongeese in WZFF. I think I only ever called in a Mongoose once. So, you’re right about that. But I can tell you Promethean soldiers do hijack them, they just don’t drive them (which is a shame, if you ask me)
