Does anybody know how to beat a Scarab with 30 (40+ on Beasley's Plateau/2v2 games) Engineers on it? That thing absorbs MAC shots, Cobra shots, Grizzly Canister Shells, Fully Upgraded Carpet Bombs, Fully Upgraded Hunters, Fully Upgraded Arbiter/Prophet of Regret, HAWKS, heck even multiple VULTURE MEGA BARRAGES! In 2v2 even more annoying since if you cryo bomb the fine gentleman he just has more Engineers off screen or he/his teammate has another scarab and just as much Engineers on it. Note: this does not count as a person breaking through my Unbeatable Defense. This is a guy who rushes with his Regretful Rapist/Brute Pimptain/Assbiter then recalls him in the beginning, builds about 20+ banshees in 40 sec., then keeps strafing my base until he/his *** teammate has enough money to buy 1 scarab and 30+ engineers, researches Sacrifice, and sends his Banshees, 2 by 2, on Kamikasie missions. I, in return, build:

UNSC: Don't use UNSC in Multiplayer

Covenant: Brute Chieftain and ULTIMATE DEFENSE

Next thing I know this fine gentleman has his Scarab tearing through my ENTIRE F***ING ARMY and then using his God-Awful Robot Beetle to rip my base a new one.

Please help! 

cryo bomb gauss hogs army of wolves vamps/hunters

millons of ghost=this is the best one

 and upgraded prohet/brute

that don't help me in 2v2/3v3 when the other guy(s) are having a spare slot in their population that fits just nicely with a Scarab. In other words, the enemy team has a Scarab standing by when one of their Scarabs is killed. Don't say "what if everybody is Anders" What if the enemy team has 4 scarabs, then you have to wait for the Cryo bomb to recharge while one of your friends is getting destroyed. or Non-Regretful F**kzorz can have a army of 50 engineers on him and just be using a constant Cleansing beam while the other two guys use Scarab/Engineers.

yeah i forgot to use your quote in my earlier post 

if its 2v2 or 3v3 and they make back up scarabs with engi/ just get your team mates to build somthing that i listed....scarabs are not a problem there underpowered if any things just laugh at the enemy making one

haha and what about the Regretful Pedophile with 30 Engineers that is currently Hot dropping Anti-Whatever behind your base. DB? Just flies away.  Cryo? 20+ more Engineers drop out of nowhere and heal it until it recovers. 

1 idea: avoid fighting the scarabs and attack their base right as you see them beaming your *multi-shielded* base. Multi-shields are essential for this counter-attack strategy.

You can most likely destroy a shield generator/summit or 2 b4 the Scarab makes it back. Otherwise, 50 pop of most whatever kills a base faster than a single bug can.

2nd idea: make a few vampires to explode those Ngs, killing the rest + heavily damaging the Scarab. Vampires also disable the PoR, so use some common sense.

3rd idea: make a diverse army so you can take down the Ngs, Scarabs, AND the supposeld counters. I like to use Banshees vs the Scarab/Base just circling around it, out# in Vampires for air dominance, and have Jackles for anti leader/grunts should they try to counter air with infantry... 

1 more thing: you can't expect to beat 100 pop with just yourself do you? Wth is your teammate doing while the PoR's there hot dropping counters for you? The PoR's counters had better not be counters for your teammate's too?! Then you just need a smarter teammate. 

I've seem this combo b4 and it wasn't a problem for me... :\

1-0 me-DC Shizface in deathmatch 1vs1 on 2vs2 map :D

One time we did a mess around match where one person made one scarab and the other two people made 50 engineers a piece. The only thing that did it was 2x pop cap of assault beam hunters.

My teammate is usually hog rushing the enemy or teching up all his units aka screw the poor sap whose trying to hold out against the overwhelming might of Regret and his buggy friends. In 3v3 my other teammate is doing nothing but sending cruddy **** that gets raped and useless DB/MAC that misses the target because Mr. Turtle is threatening to teamkill us if we don't send him supplies. None of my friends want to play 2v2 or 3v3 with me because apparantly if you're a Captain, you're a fine gentleman. (F***ing Brigadiers) So I have to stick to random players.

PS If you would like to help me in Matchmaking, please do.

Also I DO train Vampires and Hunters. But that's about it. I figure that a Scarab on its own is just asking to get raped and the 20 pop cap is just crazy.

Also sometimes in 2v2/3v3 my teammates see a Colonel/Brigadier/General on the enemy team and just resign. Its no fun doing 2v1 or 3v1, though sometimes the enemy is so slow in getting a good offense going I just get my crazy good defense. (Hunters and Vampires) Very easy to reach points cap if the enemy takes turns rushing your base. 3v1 against 1 Regretful Pedoplile and 2 Anders players. 

Anders 1 builds a full army of hogs then runs right into my Brute Cheiftain and Hunters. Doesn't even use leader powers, just keeps churning out hogs, hogs get RAPED by an angry hammer wielding monkey and 7 foot tall worm farms. A1 resigns after 1 minute of continious hog rushing. Teammates don't help A1.

A2 builds Hawks (no suprise there) and runs smack dam into a 4 Vampires, actually uses cryo on them, then gets raped by the 16 or so hidden behind the base. A2 resigns. 

By now I am thinking that this team boosted their rank by teamkilling. PoR deserves the rank of Commander though, since he instantly rapes 2 of my bases using the aforementioned NOO8 combo. My entire army gets raped so what do I do? Build 1 scarab and 30 enginners of course!  

Picture this: 2 scarabs firing at each other nonstop, surrounded by a green glow. His scarab hasn't even ranked up yet. Regretful Pedoplile (I have no respect for PoR/Regretful Pedoplile/Regretful Rapist) is getting very antsy, as his scarab is losing engineers. Mine is too, but at least I am making Vampires to cover for it. 5 vampires quickly rape the Regretful NOO8! and promptly get raped by the scarab who ignores the current threat and wastes the little bloodsuckers. Scarab starts losing health quickly because some of his engineers went down too. Regret starts churning out engineers and I just camp outside his base with the Sasquach with a do-it-yourself tool. Just as the last 10 engineers start taking damage and 30 engineers get through the brute blockade, Regret resigns. If he would have just checked that I had recalled my chieftain from his base...

well that was...not nice,

ok well since you insist that this is hard to stop all you have to do is rush, if they banshee rush use thew warthog rush, warthogs work as good anti-air and can be used to harrass,

but if they still manage to get the scarab and engineers out, dont hit it with everything you got at once, get like 4 wolves in the back of cobras to kill the engineers and once most of them are gone you hit it with everything, if you hit it with everything first the engineers heal it to much. Scarabs out that tough, you just got to get rid of the engineers.
