'''Silhouette Sword''' is a [[glitch]] that can be done with an [[Energy Sword]]. This glitch gives the player no tactical advantages, but is for the pure amusement of the eye.

If performed correctly, on the player’s screen only, the Energy Sword’s basic image will be replaced by a ghostly, active aura. In ''Halo 3'', when attacking any target that does not turn the [[reticule]] red, the sword will materialize, but the swiping animation of the sword on the player’s screen will be canceled. When the player attacks allies with this trick, they "mysteriously drop dead".
If performed correctly, on the player’s screen only, the [[Energy Sword| Energy Sword’s]] basic image will be replaced by a ghostly, active aura. In Halo 3, when attacking any target that does not make the sword’s reticule to turn red (inanimate objects, allies, etc.), the sword will materialize, but the swiping animation of the sword on the player’s screen will be canceled. It's hilarious to attack allies with this trick to watch them just mysteriously "drop dead".


Usually, a faint shimmer can be seen with the Sword. The glitch causes the Sword to vanish, but leaves the shimmer untouched.
