The '''Turretless Vehicle Glitch''' is a glitch that can only be done in [[Forge]] Mode in ''[[Halo 3]]''. This glitch has several different effects on different [[vehicles]], mostly removing the vehicles armaments. However, if a person drives one of the vehicles without its armament, they would be able to see the weapons being fired, though no one else can and the shots would do no damage.

When you perform this glitch, the vehicle is still drivable (except the Gunner position). However, the only consequences are that the vehicles would be defenseless due to removal of their armaments. This, of course, makes this glitch more popular with machinima creators than with players.

The ability to do this glitch may have something to do with the number of people in the party. It doesn't appear to work with only one person in the party, because the spawn vehicle screen/menu disappears when you start the new round. Performing this glitch successfully seems to rely on the connection you have, because if your connection is too good, the menu disappears but if the connection isn't perfect or has a slight bit of lag, it doesn't work.
In Forge, enter Edit Mode and bring up the object menu by pressing '''X'''. Scroll to the Vehicles category, and move the cursor over whichever vehicle you wish to perform the glitch on. Get the party leader to start a new round. Just after "Round over" is heard, the screen will fade to black, and the menu will stay up for several seconds after "Round over" was uttered.


To perform this glitch you must be in a Forge game. Once in Forge, enter the [[Monitor]] mode and bring up the vehicle spawn menu by pressing 'X'. When the menu is up get the party leader to start a new round. Just after 'Round Over' is heard, the screen blacks out. The menu will stay up for several seconds after the "round over". As soon as the screen goes completely black, spawn the vehicle you want to make turret-less. When the new round has started, go to the spot that you were previously standing. The turretless vehicle you want should be in the spot you were. The vehicle will only remain in its turret-less state for that particular round.
As soon as the screen goes completely black, spawn the vehicle -- if you spawn the vehicle too early, it will spawn normally, but if you wait too long, the menu will close automatically. When the new round has started, go to the spot that you were previously standing. The turret-less vehicle should be in the position you spawned it in. The vehicle will only remain in its turret-less state for that particular round.


If you start a new round, end the game or save the map with the turret-less vehicle and load it again in forge or a custom game, the vehicle will be in its normal state. '''NOTE: You must spawn the vehicle immediately once the screen is totally black, because if you spawn it while you can still see, it won’t be turret-less and if you wait too long the menu will disappear'''. This glitch is relatively easy once you know how to do it. Also sometimes when you start the new round the menu disappears and you can’t spawn the vehicle.
If you start a new round, end the game, or save the map with the turret-less vehicle and load it again in Forge or in a [[Custom Games|Custom Game]], the vehicle will be in its normal state.
 
The ability to perform this glitch may be related to the number of people in the party. It doesn't appear to work with only one person in the party, because the object menu disappears when you start the new round. The connection speed may also play a role, as both perfect and [[lag]]gy connections tend to prevent the glitch from occurring.

The Turretless Vehicle Glitch is a glitch present in Halo 3's Forge. The glitch typically removes vehicles' armaments and prevents them from boosting.

When you perform this glitch, the vehicle is still drivable (except the Gunner position). However, the only consequences are that the vehicles would be defenseless due to removal of their armaments. This, of course, makes this glitch more popular with machinima creators than with players. If a person drives one of the vehicles without its armament, they would be able to see the weapons being fired, though no one else can and the shots would do no damage.

Instructions

In Forge, enter Edit Mode and bring up the object menu by pressing X. Scroll to the Vehicles category, and move the cursor over whichever vehicle you wish to perform the glitch on. Get the party leader to start a new round. Just after "Round over" is heard, the screen will fade to black, and the menu will stay up for several seconds after "Round over" was uttered.

As soon as the screen goes completely black, spawn the vehicle -- if you spawn the vehicle too early, it will spawn normally, but if you wait too long, the menu will close automatically. When the new round has started, go to the spot that you were previously standing. The turret-less vehicle should be in the position you spawned it in. The vehicle will only remain in its turret-less state for that particular round.

If you start a new round, end the game, or save the map with the turret-less vehicle and load it again in Forge or in a Custom Game, the vehicle will be in its normal state.

The ability to perform this glitch may be related to the number of people in the party. It doesn't appear to work with only one person in the party, because the object menu disappears when you start the new round. The connection speed may also play a role, as both perfect and laggy connections tend to prevent the glitch from occurring.

Effect

Warthog/Prowler

The vehicles lose their turrets. Warthogs gain a resemblance to Civilian Warthogs or Flatbed Warthogs.

Scorpion/Wraith

The vehicles lose their cannons and turrets. Scorpions that have been glitched in such a manner tend to be nicknamed "Armored Personnel Carrier" or "Turtles". The alterations made to Wraiths are quite striking, as the mortar launcher comprises a large portion of a Wraith's rear.

Mongoose/Ghost/Chopper

Cannons, the Mongoose's horn, and boosts have all been disabled.

Banshee/Hornet

Weapons and boosts have been disabled. Hornets gain a resemblance to Transport Hornets.
