Go through the level until you get out of the caverns, walk up the big slope and reach another canyon with a giant pillar in the middle. Walk inside it and you should see a [[Stealth Sangheili]]. When it notices you, run out and it will follow you. Sometimes the Elite will run straight outside if there is a ghost there (if the player brings one from the first part of the level, the one parked outside by default will not attract it). The Elite will get into the ghost and will try to shoot and ram the player. If the player manages to tip over the ghost, the Elite will fall out and will have no weapon and will not even move or react to the player, unless they gets close, where the Elite will try to melee with his bare hands as if it had an Energy Sword.

Go to the level Metropolis in ''Halo 2'' and board the [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]]. Throw a {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}} at the Scarab operator [[Elite]] while he is operating the Scarab. He will execute the animation for drawing an [[Energy Sword]] but will not actually possess one. [[Easy]] is the best difficulty for this.

When the [[Separatist Phantom]] arrives to pick up the [[Arbiter]], use an Energy Sword to melee and destroy the {{Pattern|Pek|plasma cannon}} platform. The Elite operator will not take any damage and when he gets off the turret, he will have no weapon. If you stick him with a plasma grenade, he will take out an Energy Sword and usually die. If the Thunderstorm and Mythic skulls are turned on and you stick him with a plasma grenade, it is very likely that he will survive. An easier way to have the weaponless Elite is to destroy the Phantom by rapidly firing your [[Fuel Rod Gun]] in the engines, however, the weaponless Elite has depleted shields, and the Arbiter will die. If you betray your allies, he will attempt to melee you with his fist and his melee does damage.

If the Elite doesn't jump back on the Falcon, it will walk up to its enemy, remain hostile but will not attack. If played on the solo campaign, [[Jun-A266]] will be riding the Falcon and will leave the Falcon passenger seat after the Falcon is boarded and enter the cockpit of the Falcon, continuing the flying sequence.

This glitch can be also performed on [[Tip of the Spear]], when [[Jorge-052]] arrives at the second [[Cheru-pattern Tyrant|Tyrant]] to pick up the player. Though it rarely happens, Jorge's Falcon will land before the area is clear, and the Falcon will be boarded by an Elite, which will result in the same weaponless Elite.
