Hack 36. Get on Top of Lockout

Get to the ultimate Lockout sniper perch.

Lockout is a small map so it doesn't offer the same sort of options as a level like Outskirts. Having said this, there are some interesting jumping tricks that can be performed on Lockout. For example, it is possible to grenade jump to the top of the Lockout sniper tower. Once above the map, you'll be able to cover a great deal of the map with a rifle.

Drop a grenade and jump up [Hack #2] to a small ledge that sticks out from the side of the sniper tower (see Figures 4-27, 4-28, and 4-29). This small ledge supports a large aerial antenna maybe the Forerunners enjoyed FM?

After you have made it to the aerial platform, you will need to use another grenade jump to make it to the roof of the tower (see Figures 4-30 and 4-31).

It's a difficult jump, but once you are on top of Lockout, no one will be able to compete with your Sniper Rifle.
