====Wraith boarding in Halo 3: ODST====
Although most Wraiths in Halo 3: ODST are rigged to self-destruct once the driver is killed, there is a procedure on boarding the Wraith, known simply as the "wraith glitch", which is more or less similar if not the exact same procedure as in piloting an AA Wraith, although you must time it right by holding the action button(default '''RB''') and killing the driver before you board it. The words "Hold '''RB''' to drive Wraith"(unless you use the Bumper Jumper control scheme, it will be replaced with '''B''') will show up on your screen once the driver is dead, but it is near impossible to time, so you must hold down the button before those words show up. Alternatively, you can take out the hatch with a few melees(take out the driver's shields if you want to be sure), plant a grenade (''without'' boarding it) to kill the driver, stay near the turret so that the words "Hold RB to board enemy Wraith" will not show up at the bottom of your screen, and wait for the nade to blow. If after you've boarded the same Wraith several times(when you restart at the last checkpoint), you may notice that you will keep dying when you attempt to drive it again. If such as event would occur, simply quit to the main menu and resume from the last checkpoint. This will work with both the regular Wraith and the AA Wraith.
In addition to the [[How to Pilot an AA Wraith|typical method]] of boarding Campaign Wraiths, ''Halo 3: ODST'' has another. This procedure is almost identical to the normal one.


You may also use the [[How to Pilot an AA Wraith|AA Wraith glitch]], which is what the above appears to be based on.
The player should perform the typical method as normal, though it should be noted that they have to time the actual entry of the vehicle properly. The trick is that the player must enter the vehicle the moment "Hold '''RB''' to drive Wraith" appears -- but since this is extremely difficult to time, the player must hold the button ''before'' the message appears.
 
Notably, boarding and re-boarding the same Wraith can cause issues. In some cases, if a player has boarded the same Wraith several times, they may die when they attempt to drive it again. The fix is to quit to the main menu and resume from the last checkpoint.
