Gold vs. Collectors on Condor.

 

Wave 6 targets. After Missile-ing the Praetorians, the targets switched to a Collector Captain. I saw my opportunity to get an over-cover grab on the 4th target, but just as I did so, another player headshot him.

 

Result: a headless, un-kill-able Collector Captain.

 

He looked utterly hilarious, shooting and melee-ing without a head. He was also impervious to everything: weapons, powers, even point blank Cobra Missiles.

 

We chased him around the map while the objective timer ticked down, and with seconds to go, he... just kind of fell through the map. (This was around the Mako near the extraction zone.) I'd like to say my character's Shockwave ragdolled him somehow, but I kind of think the game just didn't know what to do with the headless, un-kill-able Collector so it eventually got rid of him.

 

I'll miss that wacky guy.

Yes that's the one that stole my pizza. Call Ichabod Crane!

Condor.

 

 

Stopped reading right there. I'm sorry, man

It's happened to me on Giant too, so it's not just a Condor glitch. Pretty damn hilarious.. it was when I cover grabbed a high value target too.

Invincible enemies happen once in a while, almost always because they got killed during a cover-grab.  I've seen them on a lot of maps.  It seems to happen to Hunters most frequently.  Sometimes they can be killed by Cobras or Heavy Melee.  Usually they will fall through the map eventually if you run around enough.  I've never seen a headless one though - that would be hilarious!

[JRandall0308]

The player becomes invulnerable during the over-cover grab animation, so I wonder if the enemy does too somehow. Thus the headshot wouldn't kill him. But normally at the end of the over-cover grab the enemy is dead, so... I dunno. At times like this I wish that (A) I had access to the source code and (B) I knew enough programming to make sense of it.

Sometimes when certain enemies become unkillable, those enemies can still be killed with Hitscan DOT powers, but the Justicar's Warp Biotic Sphere has proven to be the most efficient one at it.

 

I once had a Cannibal who was impossible to kill, 'cause the Cannibal kept regenerating health at an alarming rate. I didn't notice until I kept hitting it and it didn't die. I had to missile it instead. What a waste!

Just the usual Collector BS, move on...

Fixed.

Fixed.

That, too.

This also happens when the game does not properly register the grab; the enemy stares at you for about a second then teleports in front of you.

 

One reliable way to kill them is to force the enemy to vault over cover/ use a ladder. Doing so causes them to fall off the map.

[PurpGuy1]

Not much to add here except that Guardian who have had their shields pulled away are not grabbable.  They just freeze for a few seconds and don't know what to do next.

 

Don't know if lazy or oversight

I've had this happen to me a few times, but with an interesting variation.  Off the top of my head, no pun intended, there was a Phantom, and another time it was a Collector Trooper, but the times it happened to me, they didn't move.  They stayed in one place the entire time and didn't shoot or melee, but they would turn around in place and 'look' at me or one of my teammates.

 

The Phantom was the more interesting one because she was in her typical palm blaster stance with her sword behind her.  It happened with a Phantom at least twice, once that I remember with the Collector.  The first time was the Collector Trooper on Reactor, and to my knowledge, it didn't happen as a result of a grab because there was nowhere nearby where it could have been grabbed.

A headless Cannibal is even funnier. Its face looks like it imploded into itself.

^^This. 

 

Invincible Guardians and Hunters are the worst if you're a demented soul that likes to troll your teammates.

That's just a weird skin thing left on the board. We've had Praetorians and Banshees glitch like that and still be on for several waves. It's weird as hell because they still look at you while you move around. I think someone has a video of a Praetorian that is glitched like that. 

[PresidentVorchaMasterBaits]

collectors are.......goofy. i'd love to see that happen though.

[JRandall0308]

The game in general seems to have problems cleaning up after itself.

 

I frequently see Phantom bubbles left on the board long after their source Phantom has been killed (and her body removed).

 

I also frequently see the Marauder's... uh, scarf... left on the board after their source Marauder has been killed and removed. By "scarf" I mean the thing that links his upraised hands to the Cannibal or Husk that's being granted armor plating. Hey, it looks like a scarf to me!

[robarcool]

I guess Harbinger was too fond of that vessel and didn't want to release control.

Even when Reaperized, Turians recognize the importance of style.

the last 2 times I saw this glitch were hilarious  both against cerberus      1 was on giant   a nemesis was stuck in the wall in the backroom by the ammo box  that beach ate 6 rockets like they were pancakes and she still kept shooting    other was dagger  I was a shadow   a trooper was coming up the ladder to the bottom right of the tower  I chopped his head off   the head stood still   the body dropped and went on like nothing happened    it took cover  fired and re-loaded   mission aborted

[Terminator Force]

Yes, seen it happen to a Nemesis on Jade once. The game still counted her as dead, since the waves kept ending. But I couldn't help but keep an eye on her and watch as her gun was still tracking the players (her feet stood in place, and she only turned as much as was possible within here defined animation). The other thing was that it seemed like I was the only player able to see this. As everybody else that passed her, passed her like she wasn't there. It was pretty cool and I wish to see this happen again.

[RustyBuckets02]

Weirdest one I can think of was a ghost prime that could only be seen through the javelin scope, just standing there... Watching.
