The Catch skull has no effect on Flood. It should be noted that characters will throw an unlimited amount of grenades at their enemies. The skull actually does seem to increase the number of Kamikaze Grunts. It has been observed that the Marines will sometimes throw grenades with reckless abandon, similar to their behavior in Halo: Combat Evolved. Note : Do not destroy the standard Wraith, or the skull will disappear.
Do not physically damage the normal Wraith though the plasma turret operator can be sniped safely in any way or the skull will disappear. Effect : Your Motion tracker is disabled completely.

Effect : All weapons that are dropped by enemies or are scripted to spawn on the ground e. However, weapons found in cases still have the standard amount of ammo.

The "Catch" skull tends to generate a lot of confusion surrounding it, so to clear things up, you must have beaten the game on Normal difficulty or higher for it to spawn. It can be found on The Storm, often requiring the player to wait a few seconds for it to appear. If it doesn't appear after 30 seconds, restart the level and try again.
Play through the first indoor section of the mission. When you return outside, make sure you have either a warthog or a ghost. You should appear in place like what is pictured below. You will see a wraith, but be careful not to damage it.
You can snipe the turret guy out of it, but damaging the wraith itself can cause the skull to not appear. Drive your warthog or whichever vehicle you are using over to the circular silo near the wraith and park it right up against the side of it.
You will need to be quick here. Jump out of the vehicle and use it as a platform or higher elevation. Crouch jump up to the top of the silo and the skull should be here. If it isn't, wait a few seconds as it may have just not spawned yet. The "Fog" skull can be found at the very beginning of Floodgate.
Just before you walk down the street between the buildings, pay close attention to the roof of the first building on your right. A flood form should appear on top of the building once you get close enough.
Quickly headshot it to kill it and you should see the skull fly out of it, down onto the street below, where it can be picked up. If you miss the flood form and he gets away, or the skull lands somewhere out of reach, simply revert to the previous checkpoint and try again. The Ark features two skulls, one in each half of the level.
The first skull, "Famine" can be found after you pass under this structure pictured below. When you reach the other side of it, exit a vehicle provided you are in one and climb up the rock incline, using the rocks on the left if you need to. From here, you can jump up to the structure on the right.
Walk all the way down the walkway, to the final strut. Do a grenade jump here, up and to the left to reach the lower part of the strut, where you skull can be found.
This skull reduces the amount of ammo in dropped weapons by half. Spawned weapons are unaffected. Much later in the level, after you've destroyed the scarab, enter the small building at the bottom of that area, where you should be able to find a few deployable gravity lifts surrounding a crate. Grab one and hold onto it. Once you are inside the building, you will eventually come to a downward ramp with numerous stacked alcoves at the bottom on the left, pictured below.
Drop the gravity lift a few feet up the ramp. You're going to want to try and land in the uppermost alcove. This is done easily by jumping just as you enter the gravity lift for extra upward momentum. Up here, you can find the "Cowbell" skull on the floor.
This skull causes explosions and melee attacks to impart further movement than usual, though damage is not affected. Widely regarded as the best mission in all of Halo , The Covenant features two skulls. The easier of the two skulls, "Thunderstorm" can be found shortly after you take flight in a hornet.
You will pass a very large building on your right, near where the wraiths and banshees are patrolling. Fly over it to and land somewhere safe. In the center of the building is a large ramp. Walk up this ramp and to the far end of the walkway to find the skull sitting on the floor.
