'''Triple wielding''' is a [[glitch]] present in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'' 's [[Dual Wielding|dual-wielding]] systems. The glitch allows players to use three dual-wieldable [[weapon]]s at the same time; though the player cannot shoot with them all, they do get 50% more ammo, which can come very handy on big maps or on campaign maps with [[Flood]] or [[Hunters]].
'''Triple Wielding''' is a glitch interrupting with [[Halo 2]] and [[Halo 3]]'s [[Dual Wielding]] system. As the name says, you wield three dual wieldable weapons at the same time. Though you don't shoot with them all, you do get 50% extra ammo, which can come very handy on big maps or on campaign maps with [[Flood]] or [[Hunters]].


==Methods==
==How To Perform A Triple Wielding==
===Method 1 - Exploit===
#Figure out which weapon you wish to triple wield(must be dual wieldable). This will be called weapon A. You will need another dual wieldable weapon, that is different from weapon A. This is weapon B.
This method is an exploit that allows players to triple-wield two different weapons—that is, two weapons of the same type, and an additional weapon of a different type.
#To triple wield a weapon, first get two weapons(A and B). Pick up the first(weapon A), then press Y to switch weapons. The other weapon must be dual wieldable, but different from the one that will be triple wielded(weapon B).
#Find another weapon A, and dual wield it, by holding Y, with weapon B. You should now have weapon A as a secondary weapon, and weapons A and B as primary weapons, dual wielded.
#Now, trade weapon B for another weapon A, by using X.
#You have  successfully triple wielded.


#Find a weapon (''Weapon A'') you wish to triple wield, and pick it up. Now press '''Y''' to switch weapons, and find a different (dual-wieldable) weapon (''Weapon B''). Pick it up.
''Note'': With this method you can only have dual weapons plus one in reserve this is useful with the needler in halo 2 for you have 1.5 times more ammo.
#*You should now only have two weapons (''Weapon A'' and ''Weapon B''), and you should not be dual-wielding them. Furthermore, you should currently be holding ''Weapon B''.
#Find another ''Weapon A'', and dual-wield it with ''Weapon B''. You should now have ''Weapon A'' as a secondary weapon, and ''Weapon''s ''A'' and ''B'' as primary weapons, dual wielded.
#Now, trade ''Weapon B'' for another ''Weapon A''.


You have now triple-wielded. Note that with this method, you can only have dual weapons plus one in reserve.
==Method 2==
There is also a second method. However, this method gives you three weapons to cycle through, instead of just extra ammo. To do it...
#Make sure you have at least one dual-wieldable weapon. For this example, let's say we have a [[Needler]] and a
[[Battle Rifle]].
#Stand over another dual-wieldable weapon, such as a [[Plasma Pistol]].
#With the needler out, throw a grenade and while your arm is in the action, hold Y.
#If you aren't host, it should say Picked up a Plasma Pistol, but you won't have actually picked it up (if you are host, you can't do it). As soon as you see that, tap Y repeatedly.
# You will now be able to cycle through Needler, Plasma Pistol and Battle Rifle. To the host, you will just look as if you were dual-wielding a needler and plasma pistol.


===Method 2 - Glitch===
On YouTube, there is a video guide that might be more helpful than what's on this page, it can be found here: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7f_Vos1unU]
There is also a second method is a [[glitch]] in which you can possess three weapons, and can be used with any dual-wieldable [[Covenant]] weapon.
 
==Method 3==
There is also a third method in which gives you three weapons and can be used anywhere by any [[covenant]] dual wielding weapon.  
#Have two similar weapons dual wielded, and look straight down.
#Have two similar weapons dual wielded, and look straight down.
#Melee the ground and then quickly pick up the weapon, the corner of your screen should say you picked up the weapon, do this three times or until the screen says you have picked up the weapon three times.
#Melee the ground and then quickly pick up the weapon, the corner of your screen should say you picked up the weapon, do this three times or until the screen says you have picked up the weapon three times. You're done.
#Use your newly acquired three weapons.
 
With [[Plasma Rifles]] and [[Needlers]] the rate of fire should increase while the rate of overheating decreases.
 
==Holding One weapon other than the Asault Rifle==
(note, this can only be preformed with Plasma weapons)
'''1.''' Preform the steps listed in the first method with a plasma based weapon.
'''2.''' Melee to drop the weapon in your left hand.
'''3.''' Fire until you can pick up the weapon you dropped as your main weapon and pick it up.
'''4.''' You should have dropped your reserve weapon and you shall be holding one weapon.
(this is the only way to hold nothing but a Plasma Rifle and can be useful in making machinima)
 
==Trivia==
*A form of triple wielding (where the player holds two of the same weapons) can be done in Halo 3, using the exact  same method.  


With {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}s and [[Needlers]] the rate of fire should increase while the rate of overheating decreases.
