Should 343 Fix the Tank Gun Bug or leave it as an Easter egg?

I don’t think they should fix it. It’s fun to use and it’s a cool little Easter egg for people to discover.

I would assume that this is just a simple oversight by the developers and that these weapons shouldn’t have been intended to be picked up by the player. However, it would be truly unfortunate if this bug got fixed as it would remove one of the true highlights with the campaign. It’s just like the Scarab Gun that could be found in the mission Metropolis in Halo 2.

I haven’t been able to find the post, but a lot of people are claiming that it’s been confirmed to be a bug instead of an Easter egg like the scarab gun. Which is rather unfortunate. Even though it is I think it’s one they should keep.

Maybe if this poll does well enough 343 will see that we want it kept.

It was intentionally put there as an Easter egg, people assuming it’s a bug it’s obsurd

This is with high certainty a bug and was probably caused due to having the tag that it could be picked up. The easiest way to fix the bug would be to remove the tag that would allow the players to pick it up.

When it comes to the weapon itself, it’s uses are simply limited to technical purposes and the main use it to operate the Scorpion cannon. Another use it to operate the cannons in the ship cannon Eastern Egg instead of creating a new weapon for these cannons or to use a different method to animate the firing effect from the cannons.

Meh. Just leave it in as an Easter egg.

I’d say leave it in.

At this point people trying to complete LASO would be disadvantaged if it was removed, and it would be unfair as people were able to complete it with it previously.

That said, it should not be included in any future DLC achievements.

Evidence of that? Having this one area where that one specific gun can be picked up and function as a weapon doesn’t seem like a bug at all.

But it’s not a bug but an Easter egg. So why would it be patched?

I haven’t found a post confirming it, but a lot of prominent Halo YouTubers are saying it’s been confirmed to be a bug. Take it with a grain of salt, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was a bug. Hopefully they won’t patch it though if.it is.

I have no idea what this is about to be honest… lol.
When the tank is destroyed, can you pick its turret up, or is it the actual main turret?

There’s an Easter egg/bug right when you get to the over world after the first two missions where you hit some buttons and you can pick up a turrets weapon from the downed ship and it’s basically the tank gun.

Look up secret tank gun on YouTube and you should be able to see it. It’s pretty fun to use so hopefully it doesn’t get patched.

Oh, yeah, I’ve seen those…
Those buttons are for the air-strike though, right?

Yeah. Then if you walk over to the turret an option to pick up the gun appears, but will disappear if you leave in the pelican.

The Scorpion turret can usually not be picked up despite its existence in a similar fashion to many other hidden technical weapons due to a tag that prohibits the player from picking up the weapon.

I think the glitch is more it has no animations etc rather than the gun itself.

I didn’t need to even press some buttons before hand. Just made my way up to the guns in questions, then “picked up” the gun and exploded my way through the campaign.

Oh that’s cool I hadn’t event tried.

Confirmed as a glitch…
