Editing Charging Needler glitch

{{Era|H2}}
{{Ratings}}

This [[glitch]] only works in [[Halo 2]] on the level Sacred Icon. It is the only level where Jackals appear in-game as allies.


On the level [[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]] when you find the [[Jackal]] and [[Grunt]]s at the beginning, destroy all the [[Sentinels]] and the [[Sentinel Launcher|Sentinel Launchers]] to stop any [[Sentinels]] from coming out. If the [[Jackal]] is charging his [[Plasma Pistol]] after the battle, switch it with a [[Needler]]. If done right, the [[Needler]] will fire but no [[needles]] will come out. Try it with some other [[weapons]] like the [[Plasma Rifle]] or any other weapons you can find. If you give him the plasma rifle, he will fire and overheat it.

-===''Halo 2''===
-To experience this glitch, you must play the Sacred Icon until you find the Jackal and Grunts, which are located at the beginning of the level.
-Destroy all the [[Sentinel]]s and the [[Sentinel launcher|Sentinel Launchers]] to stop any Sentinels from coming out. If the Jackal is charging his [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol]] after the battle, switch it with a [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]]. If done right, the Needler will fire, but no Needles will come out. Try it with other [[weapons]], such as the {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}, or any other weapons you can find. If you give him the Plasma Rifle, he will fire and overheat it.

-In ''Halo: Reach'', start up a game of custom firefight, with at least one player playing as an elite (that is, on the blue team). When Jackals or Grunts are spawned during a wave, if one of them is overcharging a [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol]], the Elite player can swap the plasma pistol for a Needler. The AI will "overcharge" the needler, and though no shots are fired, the tip of the needler glows bright pink. A loud noise similar to that of a needler firing very quickly will continuously be heard a considerable distance away. This glitch can also be done with other weapons usable by Grunts, such as the [[Type-52 Guided Munitions Launcher/Explosive|Plasma Launcher]] (the Grunt will continuously charge up then fire the weapon), or the [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Gun]] (one shot appears to be fired then nothing) and even [[Shade]] turrets.
