Plasma pistol + Sniper have been the best combo for me when jacking the wraith. I just melee the door until it comes off and then melee the driver until his armor is gone then it's pretty simple. Plasma pistol disables the wraith and the sniper kills the driver in one shot.
You do have to be crouched. It is almost impossible to do solo. Best time to do it is at the end of the round. Not wave, but round. At the end of the round you get the most time between reinforcements, so you'll have the most time without bad guys shooting at you.
yes i did it by myself pretty easy. first try with someone else then second try i did it by myself. then the next day i went to show my friend and it kept blowing up when i got in it but now that i think about it i think he was the host of that game
yeah i did it and me and my friend flew by round and sets.. what ever they are called.
but i must saying being srg. johnson really does help when hijacking the wraith.
OK, just to update, this DOES still work. I've found it to be easiest to do this at the end of a round as I said before, as you have the most time to get it done in between reinforcements. Try to kill the turret operator before you do it, it'll be much easier. Also, a needler works the absolute best. You don't have to worry about getting a headshot, and it seems to give you the most leeway in terms of being able to get the "hold RB to enter" message to NOT appear. Make sure your buddy has as full a plasma pistol as he can get, and once you've got the hatch off the driver, have him continuously overcharge his plasma pistol and keep stunning the wraith, that way you won't get flung off. Make SURE it doesn't say "Hold RB" when you go to hold RB, otherwise you just killed your wraith. Good luck! If you need further help, just ask. We finally got it down to a perfect science, only takes a few seconds to get your wraith now.
