I was trying to get the Repeat Survivor achievement earlier today in BTB, and it isn’t an easy one I will tell you. And on a game on Longbow, I managed to get 2/3 logged Survivor mods to kick in. However, at the end of the match, something happened, and I think Survivor glitched. It was not a laggy game, nor am I a hacker or modder in any way, shape, or form. But I took a Banshee, and flew it directly at an enemy Scorpion. I watched from multiple angles, and nothing changed. The Scorpion shot my Banshee not once, but TWICE, and my Banshee made the Scorpion driver commit suicide, all while flying away unscathed by the direct Scorpion fire. I even got Skyjacked, and I also Skyjacked it back. Nothing was there to even acknowledge the fact that I was shot twice by a tank, and I didn’t even get a scratch from it.
Now, I ask others out there who have tried the Survivor mod. Has anything like this happened to you before? Was your Survivor armor mod equipped onto your selected loadout at the given time?
I WAS THE TANK DRIVER!! Now back to business. SPARTANS please report any instances in which you see an invincible vehicle. We might have a problem and 343 need to fix it ASAP.

100% agreed. As much as I love being invincible, I don’t want a broken mechanic to flourish in matchmaking.

Stuff just got real
In all seriousness though, I shot multiple banshees in my time while in the scorpion on halo 4. Many times I would actually hit the banshee directly (seen the explosion from the shot fired at the banshee) and it was literally untouched.
I think that’s kind of similar to your situation!

I have had that happen too, but only when there was a great deal of lag going on. This particular game of matchmaking was perfectly smooth, an especially rare case in Big Team Slayer.
> This kind of Scorpion happenstance has been in Halo matchmaking for as long as I can remember. It’s literally just lag.
It’s kind of hard to call it lag when the Banshee is literally kissing the barrel of the Scorpion’s gun, and he fires and I get skyjacked without a scratch.

Thank you for the link and information. We appreciate you taking the time to work with us on this. I actually have a few follow-up questions for you:
Did a host migration occur at any point in this game?
What was your Loadout?
Any way you can upload the entire game to your File Share?
Thanks again, and sorry to come back with more questions!
Well I suppose its good that 343 is taking an interest in making sure these glitches are taken care of in a timely fashion. That’s one thing I’m glad they didn’t take from CoD, the terrible support and allowing glitchers, hackers, and modders to flourish.
I’m harsh with 343 at times, but would like to say thanks to BS Angel for personally looking into this issue.

A Host Migration did NOT happen during the match.
My loadout was DMR NBL, Plasma Pistol FCT, Plasma Grenades, Jet Pack, Mobility, and Survivor.
Unfortunately I do not have access to that entire film anymore. All that remains is the small clip I took of the incident (unless my friend saved the entire film - I’d have to ask).
EDIT: Feel free to ask whatever you like. I am all for fixing whatever happened that game, and I will answer any questions truthfully and to the best of my ability.

Ssshhhh. You’re going to ruin my hard-earned reputation.

Aw, happy you got a Longbow theme code!
Wanted to let you know the results of our investigation. We couldn’t reproduce the issue in our playlab but after dissecting the film, we think it’s likely that the first Scorpion shot was a host-client discrepancy and the second Scorpion shot coincidentally ricocheted and hit the Scorpion driver. If something similar happens, please let me know, so we can pick up the investigation again.
Thanks for all the information about what happened in that game. We appreciate the speedy replies and willingness to help out.

I appreciate the results of the investigation, Ms. Angel. If it happens again, I will save the entire film and report it here.
Now back to business. SPARTANS please report any instances in which you see an invincible vehicle. We might have a problem and 343 need to fix it ASAP.
