I had the same problem on Guilty Spark.
Difficulty Normal
Grunt Birthday Party skull on
Using a headset adapter on the controller
I pressed RB to pick up a Needler and the second I pressed it the game force quit to the Xbox home screen. Upon clicking back onto the game, the game rebooted instead of starting where I left off.
it was like a crash except the game instantly went black and minimised to the Xbox home screen instead of freezing like a normal crash.
It’s worth noting the unlike triple 259772 this problem didn’t reoccur when I picked the Needler up the second time
