Halo Spartan Assault (Xbox One) turret glitch

Games Other Halo
1

Sometimes it becomes impossible to leave a turret. Once I press X to exit the turret, all buttons become unresponsive and I can only spin around using the right stick. I can pause and restart the mission, which is my only option when this happens.

Also every single time I exit a turret (the times when it allows me to), the game acts as though I’m holding the right trigger - constantly shooting. I can run around and aim, and it will continue to shoot until I tap the right trigger to stop it, at which point it starts to work as expected.

Two friends have noted the same problem in their game, and I personally have tried many things: reinstalling the game, rebooting the console, new batteries, playing with the USB cable attached etc.

Yeah, i already described the basic problem in another thread. You gave a much more comprehensive description, though.

My findings:

  • The glitch can happen if you just hop on a turret and leave it later.

  • You don’t have to fire the turret to make the glitch happen.

  • The automatic fire continues even after you swap primary and secondary weapon by pressing Y.

  • The autofire stops if you press the fire button or pick up a weapon from the ground.

  • If you start a mission the glitch seems not to appear until you first shoot with a turret.

  • It also seems, that only shooting for a very short time does not trigger the glitch. When the turret is fired for approximately under a second, the glitch does not appear after leaving the turret.

  • If you fire the turret for more then approximately one second, the glitch appears after leaving the turret. After that point, it will reoccur every time you use the turret, even if you do not fire it anymore. This holds true until you leave the mission and restart it.

I hope this helps.

Thanks! Hopefully this will help the guys get a fix out soon :slight_smile: I’ll just keep playing on my phone for now.

Thank you! This is excellent information and will help us find the root of the issue.

Do you notice any trends of what triggers it specifically? By your description, the occurrence sounds fairly random of when it happens.

For me, the auto-shooting glitch happens every time I exit a turret. I’ve never had it not happen.

Not being able to leave a turret is more random, it’s happened around 6 times that I can recall, on multiple levels. I restarted B-1 a few times and kept hopping off and on the turret at the start of the mission to test it - it only happened twice there.

We are working on a resolution for this but in the meantime, try firing again once you exit the turret. That should stop the automatic shooting.

This issue occurs when player exits a turret as it’s cooling down, causing the player to fire automatically. We are still working on a permanent fix.
