How to hijack vehicles in Halo Infinite

Players have been able to yank opponents out of their cars since Halo 2, and claim the rides for themselves. This is especially true in Halo Infinite, which features a plethora of ground and air vehicles ready to be commandeered. However, if players want to seize a car from someone's hands, they must be aware of a number of dangers. In Halo Infinite, here's how to take over an opponent's vehicle.

How to Steal Vehicles

The act of stealing someone's automobile is comparable to breaking into a car, but it's far more dangerous. When you get close enough to an occupied enemy vehicle to press X (on the controller) to enter it, a prompt will appear asking you to press X to hijack the vehicle. If you accomplished this quickly enough when the car was in range, you'll see an animation where you throw an opposing player out of their seat and take over their position.

You won't quickly throw the enemy out of their vehicle with larger vehicles like Wraiths and Scorpion Tanks. Instead, you'll climb on by clinging to the truck. You can either let go if you don't think you're in any danger, or you can melee the enemy driver until they die, allowing you to enter the vehicle.

Threats and Strategies

Though the hijacking procedure appears straightforward, it is not without risk. To get the upper hand on enemy players, you'll need to use stealth, protection, and the surroundings. You could also have to utilize your brain to put yourself in a position where you can take a car without dying. Running straight at a Warthog, Ghost, Chopper, Wraith, or Scorpion will almost always result in you being destroyed or obliterated. Equipment such as an Overshield for additional health or Active Camo for invisibility can help you improve your chances.

Once you get close enough, you're most likely to be splattered by an enemy's vehicle. This will most likely happen a few times; simply try to avoid boosts and jump out of harm's path by timing your opponents' assaults. You could always EMP an enemy vehicle first by shooting it with the Disruptor or Shock Rifle a few times (it will take longer if you use the Disruptor). When the car is surrounded with a blue, lightning-like aura, rapidly kick your opponent out before it wears off. When an EMP occurs, turrets and guns remain operational.

Hijacking Air Vehicles

There are a few options for hijacking an enemy Banshee or Wasp. You can do it the old-fashioned way by waiting until an opponent gets close enough to the ground, or you can EMP the aircraft following the procedures outlined in the preceding section.

If this doesn't work or you want to try something different, Halo Infinite has a useful Grappling Hook that's great for hijacking. You'll still have to wait for an aircraft to approach near enough to fire your Grappling Hook at the cockpit once it's in range. If you're successful, you'll be able to board and hijack the plane by flying up near it. Ground vehicles may be hijacked using the same method, making Halo Infinite one of the simpler Halo games to hijacking.
