In the [[campaign]] and [[Firefight]] modes of ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo 3 ODST]]'', a glitch allows players to '''drive an [[AA Wraith]] '''(and a normal [[Type-26 Wraith]] in ''Halo 3: ODST'') in any level it appears in. The glitch is a timing-related exploit that allows a player to kill the vehicle's driver and enter the cockpit before the [[Type-26 Wraith]] self-destructs.
In the [[campaign]] and [[Firefight]] modes of ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo 3 ODST]]'', a glitch allows players to '''drive an {{Pattern|Ogab'd|anti-aircraft Wraith}} '''(and a normal {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}} in ''Halo 3: ODST'') in any level it appears in. The glitch is a timing-related exploit that allows a player to kill the vehicle's driver and enter the cockpit before the {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}} self-destructs.


It is to be noted, however, that the Wraith will self-destruct once you leave it. Avoid leaving the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] or any [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] in the turret; they will die when the vehicle self-destructs, and the deaths will be counted as [[betrayal]]s.

*Anti-Air Wraiths are quite rare in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. In ''ODST'', ''all'' Wraiths, Anti-Air or otherwise, are rigged to explode when the driver dies or exits. This glitch must be performed to drive a Wraith at all (except for the levels [[Kikowani Station (location)|Kikowani Station]] and [[Coastal Highway]]).

*Hijacking the standard Wraith in [[Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight]] makes it far easier to unlock the [[Vidmaster Challenge: Endure]] [[achievement]]. The Wraith is very vulnerable to [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|Fuel Rod Guns]], the Catch skull, and other Wraiths, however.

*In the [[Season 2: Spark]] update for ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', Anti-Air Wraiths were made spawnable in [[Forge/Halo 3|Forge]] mode on the ''Halo 3'' maps [[Sandbox]], [[Foundry]] and [[Avalanche]]. These Wraiths do not explode when exited.
