* The Jacked skull will also prevent players from using mounted turrets. Unlike vehicles, turrets cannot be hijacked, therefore the skull renders them entirely unusable, though [[support weapon]]s in ''Halo 3'' and ''ODST'' can still be picked up and carried once they have been dislodged from their mounts. | |||
