The '''Elite Helmet glitch''' is a [[glitch]] involving the helmets of various [[Elite]] corpses in [[Halo 3|''Halo 3'']].


At the end of the level, [[Floodgate (Level)|Floodgate]], when entering the crashed [[Flood]] ship, the player will find several dead [[Elites]] corpses lying around. Some of them have a strange helmet that appears to be a mixture of an [[Assault Harness|Assault]] helmet and a [[Combat Harness|Combat]] helmet. It appears that the game had attempted to render both helmets on the head of the Elite, and thus, both appear, overlapping one another. This is further proven by it having one [[Assault Harness|Assault]] and one [[Combat Harness|Combat]] shoulder. Some less informed players believe the glitched harness to be some kind of Sangheili version of [[Recon]] [[MJOLNIR]] armor, though this is not true.
The '''Sangheili helmet glitch''' is a [[glitches|glitch]] involving the helmets of various [[Sangheili]] corpses in [[Halo 3|''Halo 3'']].


Some speculate is that in the same crashed ship, bodies resembling [[Rtas 'Vadum]] (Half-Jaw) appear randomly which happen to be wearing Combat helmets, and that the Elite was wearing an Assault Armor helmet, and the game programming attempted to change the body into the Half-Jaw version.

It appears that the game had attempted to render both helmets on the head of the Elite, and thus both appear and overlap one another. This is reinforced by the fact that the Elites will have one Assault shoulder piece and one Combat shoulder piece.
 
==Trivia==
*Some speculate that in the same crashed ship, bodies resembling [[Rtas 'Vadum]] appear randomly which happen to be wearing Combat helmets, and that Elites wearing an Assault Armor helmet appear randomly as bodies, which causes the programming to occasionally glitch and create a meshed version.
