The '''Charging Needler Glitch''' is a [[glitch]] that works on the [[Halo 2|''Halo 2'']] level, [[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]] or in Halo: Reach's Firefight mode. It can only be done when you have [[Jackals]] or [[Grunts]] (in Halo Reach) as your allies. 

==Walkthrough==
===Halo 2===
To experience this glitch, you must play the Sacred Icon until you find the [[Jackal]] and [[Grunt]]s, which are located at the beginning of the level. 

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|Needles]] will come out. Try it with other [[weapons]] such as the [[Plasma Rifle]], or any other weapons you can find. If you give him the Plasma Rifle, he will fire and overheat it.

===Halo: Reach===
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 [[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 [[Plasma Launcher]] (the [[Grunt]] will continuously charge up then fire the weapon),  or the [[Fuel Rod Gun]] (one shot appears to be fired then nothing).
