Next, the hands expand to huge size. Immediately following that, the surrounding area is engulfed in a massive white light.

At this point, the glitch has been activated. If the glitched player (''Person B'') then swings the Gravity Hammer (by pressing '''RT''') right as a grenade is thrown by another player, then ''Person B'' will deflect the grenade, while also amplifying its power to such an extent that the explosion briefly engulfs the entire map.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&v=DhNydHB9X6U#show_link_34126anYSp7jtrlMsFHKRiQfKEAk00QTGaLu87d0xJA '''YouTube:''' Nuclear Bomb Glitch Part 2: The Blast] A comment by the author states that the glitched player does have to swing for the blast to occur.</ref> The glitch will also cause ''Person B'' to be able to run through the air.

Additional phenomena occur when pressing '''RT'''. Among other things, ''Person B'' can travel through some surfaces; for instance, if they enter the blue room on [[Snowbound]], you can pass right through the glass floor above by pressing '''RT''' and then jumping.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oymd29Q9vSU Halo 3 - Life After Death in Multiplayer]</ref> Finally, if ''Person B'' were to abuse the '''RT''' button and then switch to their secondary weapon, they would be completely invisible and invincible -- others would only see ''Person B''<nowiki/>'s gamertag or waypoint, and ''Person B'' would be invulnerable to nearly everything -- including the turrets on Snowbound and the mines on Sandtrap, but ''excluding'' [[Invisible Walls|kill barriers]] and falling to their death.{{fact}}
