Editing Equipment jumping

{{Era|RW}}
{{Jump}}
'''Equipment Jumping''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' technique that allows players to jump higher and farther. The trick basically allows players to perform a second jump in midair by using [[equipment]].

==Walkthrough==
The trick can be performed with a [[Radar jammer|Radar Jammer]], a [[Flare]], a [[Deployable Cover]], a [[TR/9 Antipersonnel Mine|Trip Mine]], an [[Forerunner automated turret|Auto-Turret]], or a [[Power drain|Power Drain]]. To perform it, a player would first look down, and then jump. At the peak of their jump, they would deploy the equipment item (by pressing '''X'''), and then quickly press '''A''' again. The button presses cause a player to jump off of the equipment as they deploy it. Skilled players can reach farther distances by running forward while performing the glitch.

Players using a [[Spartan]] player model cannot reliably perform the trick with a Power Drain, as Spartans throw Power Drains farther than they do other equipment. Only [[Sangheili|Elites]] can use Power Drains for equipment jumping. There is also an element of risk associated with the use of a Power Drain, as even in the event of a successful jump, the jumper would still be left unshielded and vulnerable.

==Notes==
*When playing with multiple people over [[Xbox LIVE|Xbox Live]], the trick tends to be more difficult; only the connection host can reliably perform it.
*Bungie removed the Radar Jammer and Flare from [[Matchmaking]] because of this trick. The Power Drain was not removed, as Spartans cannot reliably use it for equipment jumping. (Bungie may not have noticed that Elites can use the Power Drain for equipment jumping)
