On ''[[Halo 2]]'', one method of doing this is on the [[multiplayer]] level [[Midship]]. It requires two players. Where some ramps lead up to the higher level, there seems to be some sort of [[shield]] generated from blue plasma. Have a player crouching behind it (on the platform) and have them [[melee]] the shield, preferably with the [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]], and then assassinate the other player. There is a 10% chance that when the player dies, his/her neck will stretch through the shield. Other outcomes include spasms in the player's corpse, or a combination of the spasms and the long neck (although the chance of this happening is very low). The other 90% of the time, the character's model will "air swim" -- its arms will shake in a swimming fashion.

Also, in the [[campaign]] level [[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]], it is possible to stretch [[Unggoy|Grunt]] corpses. To do this you must wield a [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|Brute Shot]], and when clearing the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] jails, melee the Grunt bodies into the cells. There should be a small pit at the back of the cell, and meleeing the Grunt bodies to the [[Invisible Walls|invisible wall]] should stretch their limbs past the invisible wall. If you continue to melee, the body should fall into the pit. Other character models including [[Kig-yar|Jackals]] and [[Sangheili|Elites]] will stretch as well.

This can also be seen in the ''Halo 3'' [[Campaign#Halo_3_Campaign_Levels|campaign]]. When you destroy a [[Type-47 Scarab|Scarab Tank]]'s power core at just the right moment, you occasionally get shot into the air. If you clear the map boundary, your limbs will all stretch for a second or two. Another way to see this is when in theater mode on the level [[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]: when a player falls through one of the platforms, pause as soon as the player hits the ground. Go up to the body and most of the time, the player's neck and/or other limbs will be stretched. [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] sometimes also stretch if caught in an explosion.

Another way of doing this is on a map that has a high boundary, such as Sandtrap -- simply make your body fall from a great height. This can be done by making a [[Forge/Tricks#Floating Objects|floating platform]] high up, standing on it and dying so your body falls off. When your body hits the ground, it's very likely that it will stretch.

Another Scarab Tank method involves shooting the Scarab's knees until it stops moving. While it is immobile, jump on a "kneeflapcap" or anywhere on the Scarab's leg and wait for it to start moving again. As soon as it lifts its leg, you will be sent flying really fast and if your lucky enough to hit a solid surface, you will stretch almost every limb in your newly-made corpse. For better results, try standing right on top of the "kneeflapcap" so you will be shot straight up. You should hit the [[Invisible Walls|invisible ceiling]] and stretch violently.
