Miniature Covenant glitch

The miniature Covenant glitch is a glitch that can be experienced in Halo 4 in Spartan Ops. It causes the Covenant enemies to shrink to a small size. Apart from their size, they maintain the same characteristics as normal Covenant. As such, they wield normal-sized weapons and grenades, and may be assassinated. However, Jackal shields shrink along with their users. It is currently unknown what causes this glitch, and it is not mission specific.

Trivia
