| The '''No Weapon Glitch''' is a [[glitch]] present in all games in the [[Halo Trilogy]]. It allows players to apparently disarm their in-game characters. The players' [[weapons]] are effectively deleted.
| |
| | |
| ==''Halo: Combat Evolved''==
| |
| The No Weapon Glitch is not as well known in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'''s [[Multiplayer]], but the process is pretty simple. It works easily on [[Halo PC]], but is harder on Xbox because there is less [[lag]]. There are two kinds of No Weapon Glitches in Halo PC: one from the host's perspective and one from the client's perspective.
| |
| | |
| === Multiplayer ===
| |
| To perform the glitch in multiplayer, you need at least one other player to work with. Gather multiple different weapons together in a closed area, like in the [[Blood Gulch]] [[Base]]. Then, have both you and the other player crouch on the pile of weapons facing each other. Consequently, have both you and your partner tap '''X''' (the button you have set for the "Drop Weapon" command) repeatedly over the weapons. This should make you continuously drop and pick up new weapons. <!--E Doesn't work.-->
| |
| | |
| Eventually, you will not be able to drop your weapon. This is due to your weapon "phantoming." All other players in the game will view you as if you had no weapon; the player you performed the glitch with should be similarly unarmed.
| |
| | |
| If you press Tab, you may switch to your other weapon. The game may automatically switch you to your other weapon after a certain amount of time. If you are a client you will find that you cannot switch back to your original weapon -- this is because it no longer exists.
| |
| | |
| === Campaign ===
| |
| The No Weapon glitch is more difficult in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'''s Campaign. It involves overloading the map with objects, such as weapons, [[Grenades]], and bodies, so that objects on the map start behaving erratically. Overloading is easiest on the Xbox version in [[Co-op]]; simply kill your teammate over and over until their corpses accumulate. With a little luck, you will de-load your weapons. You can also de-load enemies' weapons using this same method.
| |
| | |
| === Observations ===
| |
| If, in Multiplayer, you observe a client who has no weapon, they will assume the animation for having no weapon, like in the first [[Campaign]] level, [[Pillar of Autumn (Level)|Pillar of Autumn]].
| |
| | |
| However, if you observe a ''host'' who has no weapon, they will look very different. The host assumes a phantom weapon stance. They are actually still holding their weapon, but you cannot see it. If they were holding, say, a sniper rifle when they lost their weapon, then their arms will look like they are holding a sniper rifle. They can still shoot and [[melee]] with their weapon, and if they switch weapons, you will see a weapon floating in the air where they switched. They can also switch out their "phantomed" weapon for other weapons, changing how they hold their hands in the air.
| |
| | |
| ==''Halo 2''==
| |
| === Multiplayer ===
| |
| In ''[[Halo 2]]'', the glitch requires an [[Oddball]] and a [[Plasma Pistol]]. Find an Oddball, and charge your Plasma Pistol. Walk over the Oddball and pick it up while still charging the Plasma Pistol. If you did it properly, your weapon will have been deleted -- your hands will be empty, and no [[reticule]] will be present on your [[HUD]]. If you come into contact with any weapon, you will automatically pick it up.
| |
| | |
| === Campaign ===
| |
| In addition this can be done in campaign. The level [[Outskirts (Level)|Outskirts]] is highly recommendable because the [[Blind skull]] can be grabbed on any difficulty or Regret because the [[Assassins]] skull is always there, and it's ability won't work on Heroic or lower. First do the glitch where you hold three of the same weapon with the plasma pistol. Drop your duel wielded one. Switch between your weapons to be sure that you have two plasma pistols. Then go to the level's skull. Do the trick as mentioned above but with both plasma pistols. You should now be holding no weapons, but with the abundance of weapons in campaign it will be very difficult to avoid weapons on the ground so I would carry the level's skull with you so you can redo the glitch.
| |
| | |
| === Observations ===
| |
| This can be used for some fun gametypes if everyone cooperates or can be used for making [[machinima]]. Please note, however, that unarmed players using the [[Spartan II]] player model can still throw grenades while [[Sangheili|Elites]] can't; this is because Elites don't have an animation for performing this action when unarmed.
| |
| | |
| ==''Halo 3''==
| |
| This glitch can be achieved in ''[[Halo 3]]'' as well. It mainly occurs during [[Custom Games]], but it occasionally happens in [[Matchmaking]], often during [[Capture The Flag]] battles.
| |
| | |
| Furthermore, it is possible to [[Modding|mod]] a [[gametype]] so that the default weapon is a support weapon, such as a [[Flamethrower]] or a [[Missile Pod]]. When starting a match with such a gametype, dropping the item before picking up any other weapons can leave the player unarmed.
| |
| | |
| It can also be done in forge, but requires at least two players, by turning one player into a monitor, first find or make a weapon, then get one player to pick it up but at the same time and then, get the other player to delete it at the same time. This will make the player pick up a "deleted weapon"<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=56942319 '''Bungie.net: Halo 3 File Details:''' FT-Forge ''(game variant)''] ''(may be removed soon -- modded)''<br><div style="margin-left:2em">This modded gametype allows players to start with a Flamethrower.
