Hack 37. Get on Top of Zanzibar

Get on top of the Zanzibar base.

Although Zanzibar doesn't offer the scenic panorama of Delta Halo [Hack #33], there are some options for getting to the upper regions of the level. One of the interesting ones is jumping to the top of the Zanzibar base.

To perform this maneuver, run up to the top of the base stairs. You will see a ledge above the staircase. Hop onto the ledge and face away from your landing point. Now drop a sticky grenade at your feet as you jump backward. You'll need to use a crouch jump [Hack #1] with some backward momentum (see Figure 4-32).

Once above the base, you'll be free to move around and even jump into the mechanism (see Figure 4-33). Just remember that you're still a good target for snipers while you're up there.
