The Floating Plasma Bolts Glitch is a glitch in Halo: Reach that causes the bolts from the Plasma Launcher to remain floating in the ground and not explode.

Tutorial

To perform this glitch, start a Forge match with at least two people. Have at least two different teams. Have one person pick up a Plasma Launcher and have the other person just stand there. Have the person with the Plasma Launcher lock on to someone on the other team and fire the bolts at them. After the bolts stick, have the person who got stuck go into monitor mode. The bolts will stay floating in the air where they stuck to the player. They won't move or explode unless the person who got stuck leaves monitor mode.

Trivia

  • You can lock on to them with an Energy Sword
  • You lunge at them when you melee them with a weapon
