Glitches are errors or bugs in any program that can cause undesired or interesting results. Glitches in video games can often be exploited to gain practical advantages. In the Halo games, glitches are often used in such a manner, and for that reason they are documented quite extensively on some websites. An expanding list of glitches in the Halo games can be found here.

In Halo: Combat Evolved[edit]

Glitches in Halo: Combat Evolved typically required the bypassing of invisible walls or the forcing of objects into areas they were not meant to be brought into. Some animation glitches also occur.

  • There is a Marine that copies himself when dead.
  • On the level The Silent Cartographer, it is possible to drive a Warthog through the door that leads to the Cartographer, skipping the need to fight two stealth Elites, four Hunters, and many other Covenant enemies. Doing so can allow you to kill the Zealot Elite that stands in the doorway, but doing so is useless because he will reappear at the end of the level, regardless.

Glitches in Halo 2[edit]

In Halo 2, players could do things such as Super jumping or Super bouncing (Xbox only), get past Invisible Walls to get out of maps, etc. "Button Combos" also existed, such as one that would allow you to kill a player instantly.


Glitches in Halo 3[edit]

Halo has been combed over for glitches by a considerable amount of players, but Bungie has put much effort into making sure that there are few, if any, in Halo 3. There are a few that do exist in active gameplay though, such as the Mine Glitches, driving an AA Wraith, going under the playable area of Construct, Fusion Coil glitches, and the Elephant speed boost. Another glitch in Halo 3, one that effects machinima more than gameplay, is commonly referred to as The Bump.

Glitches in Halo: Wars[edit]

Being an RTS, there are very few Halo Wars glitches.

Glitches in Halo: Reach[edit]

Bungie really hunkered down on many glitches in the development of Halo: Reach. However, there are still many glitches present in the final version of the game, though considerably fewer have been discovered than in other games.

Glitches in Halo 4[edit]

List of glitches documented in Halo 4.

Glitches in Halo 5[edit]

List of glitches documented in Halo 5: Guardians.

One example of a glitch is dubbed the "Stubborn Rider". This glitch can be performed on Legendary Warzone Firefight. If a Ghost riding Elite boss jumps out if his vehicle to hijack another, have your friend shoot at it with locking missiles when you jack it back. It will result in the Ghost's destruction, yet you will still be riding it.
