The Plasma Repeater is very inaccurate. To make it more accurate you will need a bottomless clip. If you keep the fire button pressed down, it will become less accurate. If you keep it pressed down long enough, the four small triangles will disappear from the screen. After a few seconds the will return to the screen. Keep fireing until the triangles disappear for the second time. When they return for the third time, they won’t move anymore.
PS: it might be possible you have to do it four times
Sorry, what glitch? In the weapons own description… It describes this feature. Unlike the plasma rifle that over heats, the plasma repeater heats up and slows its rate of fire. When it fires slower its more accurate… No glitch. Or are you taking about something else?

When you turn bottomless clip on and fire the Plasma Repeater non-stop for a few minutes, the reticule will simply expand so far and then just reset and not move.
It is kind of a glitch as I doubt Bungie intended for the reticule to behave like that, but it isn’t anything major.

Thank you… Timmy has very selective reading in the hours near midnight. I otally disregarded the part about bottomless clip.
Thought he was saying we needed to add bottomless clip to fix a glitch
Can anyone tell me what this post is trying to accomplish?
This “glitch” is a gameplay mechanic.
The reticule changes in size based on the fire rate (if I am not mistaken). I believe it has something to do with how many rounds you have fired and how warm the battery is.
There is an odd event that can be performed on the Plasma Repeater. In a Custom Game, Firefight or Forge, set Infinite Ammo to “Bottomless Clip”, so it never loses fire rate. Get a Plasma Repeater and fire it non-stop. The reticle will bloom far beyond the center of the screen. Once the reticle blooms to a certain point, it will reset itself to the middle of the screen again. However, ceasing fire will cause the reticle to move to the center and then reset to the edges of the screen, then slowly move back to its original place. It is unknown why this occurs, but is most likely a glitch. It also greatly increases the fire rate, giving it one of the fastest fire rates in Halo Reach, and a little more accuracy. If the player does not continue to fire for a period of time, the reticle will reset, doing the whole blooming process backwards.
This might clean it up a little
