I had saved a game on the level T&R, when I saved I had a plasma pistol and a sniper rifle. So, later on I go back to finish the level, but when I started I had my sniper rifle out, but it had the reticle of the plasma pistol,and shot plasma rounds, it kicked ass. I pushed the Y button to switch to my other weapon, which was also the sniper rifle, then I switched back to my hybrid plasma sniper, but it was gone, it turned back into a plasma pistol. So I reverted over and over, and kept playing that same part of the level, just so I could use my new hybrid weapon.My question is. What is the craziest hybrid weapon you have ever seen on Halo? I know this was a glitch, but what causes this phenomenon to occur?

It is a glitch, and a very easy to make happen. I don't remember exactly how to do it because I havent done it in a long time, but its something that happens when you save games and load games a certain way.


Having either of the pistols (human or Covenant) as the skin, and having it shoot rockets is a pretty funny one to see.

Here's a description of the glitch, courtesy of Scooter McDue/TablesandChairs4. My favorite would have to be the rocket launcher shooting pistol rounds or anything shooting shotgun rounds (for the reload animation).

[Weapon Switch]
You need two controllers. Go into any level in single player, with either controller (called Controller 1 for now). Hit a checkpoint, save and quit. Make note of what weapon you had.

With the other controller, go back into that profile and pick up a different weapon (other than the one you saved with in the previous step). Hit a checkpoint, save and quit.

Pick Controller 1 back up again, and go into the same profile. The skin of your weapon should be that of the first time you saved, but it will have the characteristics of the gun in the second save.

Note: This does not mean that an AR will fire rockets. The rocket launcher (if that was your second weapon), just looks like an assault rifle, and does not fire automatically. This glitch will go away if you switch weapons, swap weapons, die, etc.
