Mass Effect 3: Infinite Missile Glitch Still Works Post-Patch

APRIL 1 2013 UPDATE:  The Infinite Missile Glitch still lives on!  Click on my latest blog post to find out the “new” way to do it!

Ok my loyal readers, I just confirmed that the following infinite missile glitch still works after downloading the patch and new Retaliation DLC AND after the most recent balance changes to the Krysae and Acolyte.  Thanks and credit goes to Mass3 for sharing this in the comments:

Here is what you need:

1- At least one rocket/missile
2- An explosive gun (Striker, falcon, krysae, acolyte, etc.)
3- A gun that requires a charge up before it fires (Harpoon, GPS)

Step 1: With the charging weapon equipped, press and hold the RT and UP on the d-pad for a count of 8-10 seconds causing your weapon to charge up.

Step 2 : Let go of both buttons at the same time.  This should cause your charging weapon to fire one shot and then your character (best to be the Destroyer with extra Ammo capacity gear) should automatically pull out the cobra missile launcher.

Step 3 : Once your character has finished the animation of pulling out the cobra missile launcher, press/hold X to switch back to your charging weapon.

The glitch should now be activated and you can either use your Krysae to fire the missiles and you can switch to your explosive weapon which acts as a missile.

Notes:  This version of the glitch can be used in any player spot except the host.  Therefore, 3 people may do it at the same time in a match.  This method will also work every single game but it may not work the first time you try it in the game so you just have to keep trying it, which you can do as much as you want because this method does not require you to use/waste any missiles.  Like the other missile glitch, this glitch will turn off if you take cover against a wall and you will not be able to get ammo from ammo boxes while in this glitch.

Let me know if you plan on using this or if you are disappointed in Bioware for not fixing the glitch in the comments!

      • So i did the glitch with the acolyte but idk how to get out of it to get more ammo am i supposed to get out of the glitch before i run out of ammo completely?

      • Its wrong, and it does ruin the experience for those that are actually good enough to play the game. If you want to cheat, do it on something that doesn’t matter. If you do it in a game with me, I will report you, and you will get banned.

    • @ Wes Dodge & ALL OTHER BABIES Good thing my GT isn’t on here or i might get reported for unleashing this horrible method on the the world. First it doesn’t ruin the game if people do it with friends all it does is fast track them to a full manifest and if people come into your public game and do it, don’t stay in the game and complain and then report them just leave and start a new game it’s that easy. And second the idea that using the glitch is for un-skilled players is non -sense ME3 is not a PVP shooter so it doesn’t require a shit ton of gaming skills especially since the enemy’s are always the same and move in predictable patters, I am a big fan of doing the glitch but i have also completed platinum on pretty much every map with a few different characters so there goes your augment. And how much does this game matter to you that you have to report people and possibly get them banned from a game they enjoy because they used an exploit in your match (Which you could have left). And i bet you are like every other uptight player who feels the need to tell people they are going to be reported and you probably post on the forums about how proud you are to do it LOL

      • This is pretty much my take on it, from the non-glitching end of the spectrum. I don’t missile glitch (and only just learned how to here lol) and tbh it can annoy me if I’m gearing up to have a good playthrough and realise I just wasted some decent equipment, but it isn’t actually hurting my capabilities. Well, it wasn’t before every point of damage counted towards challenges ;) Maybe that’s one reason they’ve brought them out!

        If I see someone very obviously glitching in the lobby, or a full party of ’em, I will probably head back out to a different match. I’m not blessed with enough friends to play private regularly, so it irks me a little, but there’s no need to go all Stasi informant on people playing a game they have paid for in the way they want to play it.

        I’m mostly quite upset about how blatantly fascist Bioware/EA have been about the whole thing; I had probably received half a mill before I even saw the forum post about receiving credits from such matches makes you an accessory to cheating, and you might get banned if caught. That’s fucking bullshit IMHO, and only makes me more in favour of people doing it.

      • Also I would like to add. in no way can you get banned for this. that would be an unfair ban PLUS a breach of contract with EA and Bioware games as you are operating within the parameters set by the game. you have not modded that game or changed any files to suit your needs. you are using the mechanics and parameters supplied to you by the game.

      • You are a cheater. Period. You are ruining other people’s fun because apparently nobody taught you that cheating is wrong when you were a child. Other people should not have to leave a game they are enjoying just because you don’t know the difference between right and wrong. YOU should leave and find other cheaters to play with, if cheating is so fucking important to you.

      • Non being you are an idiot. These morals you cling so dearly to have no founding in reality. To demand that i obey your moral weakness is selfish. Besides that how dare you attempt rather ignorantly to call in to account the parenting techniques used to raise us. If we use this scripting error how could you possibly say we are in the wrong. Its an error that has fun concequences. And it harms no one.

      • So someone minding their own business and playing a game without taking advantage of glitches is the one that has to leave a game? I guess the world revolves around everyone that wants to take advantage of glitches. If you don’t want banned you better just do it with friends and others that want no challenge in a game.

  1. @Tay Booth
    Press the fire button 3 times while aiming around standing cover. even if you have no ammo left. Oh and another good thing to do is to make sure you have at least one spare bullet after getting out of the glitch. If you reload you will have full ammo.

    • @ Tay both . To get out of this glitch you just take standing cover against any wall. Doing that should deactivate the glitch and allow you to get ammo, but since the volus cannot take any cover it is impossible for them to get out of the glitch as far as i know. so its best to pick a different guy

  2. generally i’m against cheating. however, the randomness of the store packs, drives me crazy, i have gotten 2 1 use rare items out of the premium packs, so i say glitch away, 2 get decent weapons, gear etc.

  3. No it does work but its not related to guns but it makes every and any gun or power act like you have a super rate of fire/ Attack speed.I’m trying to make sure the steps are right.

      • you just do the same thing as before except with a different charge weapon aka the harpoon gun but this time the charge weapon cant be used as the missile launcher because they are not explosive so that’s why u just switch to the striker once the glitch is activated

      • What i described doesn’t use rockets at all. It’s any gun on any character that can dodge, so yeah even the volus. I’ll work out how it works, I think I know but I need to try it again. Seems to turn anything into insane rapid fire, faster than the destroyer/turian or geth rate of fire. For instance the hurricane shoots way faster when it happens and ammo isn’t used the gun never stops shooting at all. You can just mow down anything over and over.

      • and this is pc. I dont play consoles so no idea about that. I’m actually using a razer naga button 5 as my dodge but the spacebar seems to work too. I thought it was the macro on the mouse i used for the vanguard but it’s not that.

  4. Just a thought but if you wish to know how to missile glitch it is better to find out in game from someone rather than posting the methods on this or any site as anyone googling, “missile glitch”, will be able to tell how to do it and also how to patch it. Also if you missile glitch I highly recommend doing so in a private game with friends, don’t join a public match and start using it without consent from the other players.

    • Just to let you know this glitch version has been out since august or even longer so it is obvious bio ware already knows about it and they are clearly trying to fix it so posting the method online isnt going speed up the process of it getting patched plus if they intend to ban everyone that has done it it wont be too hard for them to find you regardless of what you do but yes public game increases your chances of running into little cry babies that will report you

      • I love how people who don’t like the glitch are ‘crybabies’. The majority of you cheaters jump into platinum and gold lobbies full of folks who want to play the game honestly, and then act all butthurt when someone takes offense to it. Simply put: there are an awful lot of players who’d rather play the game properly without cheating to get ahead, and ‘your fun’ really does ruin a game that we think is great. If you’re going to glitch, whatever. They’ll ban and reset you eventually, they’ve got a tracking system installed now, and turning your feedback off doesn’t change it. Just stay out of the public lobbies out of respect for the rest of the community. Please.

    • @ Trevor people who dont like the glitch arnt crybabies but the people that complain about it during the game and then report people those are the crybabies , like straight up its just a game if people want glitch then so be it dont act like its the end of the world if you get put in a game with them just shut up and leave its so simple like i said before ppl pay alot of money to game online and if you try to take that away from them cuz they used exploit in your game then you sir are pathetic grow apair and adjust

      • ++++ this that’s my take on it as well I have been in a couple matches that ppl join in and start the glitch. Don’t piss me off one bit I’d rather run in circles blasting my gun until objectives and let them get me easy credits then to bleed out because half of pug’s I’ve been in don’t like to revive or use medi gels. Don’t get me wrong I love to run and gun but promoting hasn’t been easier playing with 3 missle glitches lol

  5. For some reason I have so much trouble getting this to work, is there any fool proof method someone has, with a 100% success rate, for me it’s like I have to try 10+ times before it works :S often leading to death

    • This method is pretty much the most foolproof I’ve come across – I haven’t had any problems with the method posted … make sure you’re leaving enough time in between your charged shot and switching to the other weapon. A good 8-10 seconds should do it, but sometimes it could take a little longer. Also, make sure you’re not the host!

    • My general rule of thumb is switch to ur chare up weapon as soon as u get in and keep charge until after u get the wave 1 pop up disappears… As long as u press R1 and up at same time it always worked for me hope that helps ya out

  6. I’ve been unable to get this to work using the Arc Pistol and Striker as they are the only weapons I have with charging and explosive rounds (no, I wasn’t the host)
    Has anyone else got it to work with those 2 weapons?

  7. I just done it after 10 attempts with the Graal spike thrower and the striker assault rifle, It simple to do its that you not guaranteed to do first time or the next couple of times after that.

  8. Can this be done on PC because me and friend tried following the steps exactly, when not on host, and neither of us could do it.

    • works on the pc, but not with any controller/keys glitching. You can just edit the unreal engine ini files, they can’t track it and you can even play offline then back your game up through cloud without ever going into origin. The only glitch i’ve seen work on the pc in regards to the controls is the super extreme rapid fire. It looks similar to excessive rocket shooting from the Unreal Tournament mod years ago, because it’s some issue with the engine. Anyway it’s triggered by running and firing (check youtube maybe) you can glitch it where you will fire any gun extremely fast (faster than the rate of fire skill, it’s not even skill related actually). You won’t run out of bullets either and it seems to go through some walls too. It’s probably better than the rocket glitch since if you pick a heavy hitting gun you’ll be firing 100s of shots simultaneously. It makes the krysae or whatever it’s called good again and the enemies are being hit with 100s of shots a second. Maybe if i ever play this game again I’ll make a video. It’s just kind of dead now. Eric Fagnan scared everyone that was good (on the pc) away and better pc games came out, so finding a match is pretty hard. It’s like trying people to do group content with in champions online or lotro these days… meaning pretty dead.

  9. Is there anyone out there still doing this on the xbox? I’m tired of all the hassle to get some good guns and looking to boost have a couple different volus to help out.

  10. This still works, best set up is with the devestator because it lets you get more ammo by going into/out of devestator mode at an ammo box. What you’re going to want is the striker and a charge weapon. First pull out the charge up and hold fire and up(switch to missile) for 10 seconds or so. Then without releasing fire let go of up and hold down switch weapons for 10 seconds, then release everything. If done right you should release the charge and switch weapons to your striker that is now firing missile rounds.

    • AWESOME! 1+

      Also, if you use the n7 destroyer, Start in normal mode then after the glitch is active and you are running low on ammo press Y and tada! you have more ammo… Rinse, repeat for infinite ammo.

  11. Missile glitch is now fixed, no more CHEATING!

    You uber noobs will actually have to learn how to play the game properly now, god luck with that, hahaahahahahahahahahah

    • its not like we dont know how to play. we just like to get stuff. besides, why are you here if you dont like glitching.

  12. lol its not like someone will find another way to do it so stfu cause some people who do it can play it legit but just do it cause it easy credits or for that points challenge

  13. and lol you can still do it with the particle rifle version cause its very unknown so
    Bio-ware has not bothered about patching it entirely

  14. So I did this thing with my friends using the M-5 and the falcon and we got the rocket glitch but can’t get it again. Does anyone know the new glitch??? We need help to figure out how this new glitch works

  15. K so it’s march 2013 I’ve read several posts saying these glitches work, and some say they’ve been patched. I would like to know the truth as of the release of the rekoning dlc was released recently.

  16. I would advise turning off player feed back in the options-online section because otherwise ea might see you and they don’t like you doing this glitch.

  17. the new one really doesnt require a particle rifle just striker and destroyer like the last one just shoot your rockets till you have 1 left then shoot it while holding RT for 5 seconds then hold X and RT and it should work but only works for 1 person and cant be the host

    • Tried this but I can not get it to work. Do you hold RT was you fire the last missile, wait 5 seconds and then hold X while still holding RT or do you let go of the first RT hold to press and hold RT and X at the same time? Also is it similar to the original one where you have to not be leader or last person in the party?

    • pretty sure that does not more like a waste of 6 rockets there may be a way to do it with the reegar carbine have not figured it out yet

  18. Hmmm, I have been trying since this patch to figure out how to do something similar, and have come up with nothing… No variation of how to do it before works…. Going to the last missle as “legit glitch” here suggested,, holding for 5 seconds/switching out to explosive weapon does not work, neither does that work with the particle rifle, nor does any past version of this glitch still work, particle rifle glitch I keep hearing everyone talk about excluded of course. My main problem is that people say that there is a way to do it with the particle rifle, and I have yet to see it, and myself and many other people have yet to be able to figure it out, and nobody can explain it. People brag saying there still is a way and that they can do it, but have never done it in any lobby I’ve been in and alway say “I’m not going to show you” blah blah blah… As for that video you posted up, girlplaysgame, I could very easily upload a video right now of something that happened several months ago and say it still works…

    In short, I”m very frustrated that people say there is a way to do it, refuse to show anyone, or even do it if there really is a way, and worst of all, these people that state that there is still a way attempt to take a moral highground stating “Ive reported it to bioware, go fuck yourself”…

    Any help with finding a new way would be greatly appreciated, or atleast if there isn’t a way, to be told so as definitive fact rather than a bunch of people stating there is a way and never doing it…

    • I’m still on vacation so I can’t adequately address this issue without my xbox but 1) I personally have been in a match where someone was missile glitching with the Particle Rifle, 2) I personally haven’t been able to get it to work even though this person explained how, and 3) until I get it to work, there’s no point in posting wrong instructions, and 4) I can’t experiment now since I’m away from home :) So in short, yes it can be done, no I don’t know how (yet!).

      • Is there a way I can show you instead of typing it out? It takes forever and much easier to just show/explain. There’s a few things you can do to make sure it works!!

    • Ha. Not to be mean but Your a retard. That whole rant for Nothing. Legit glitch way works. I can ge it to work no problem using that method. To answer your question te same rules as before apply. Girls play games your slacking. This is twice I’ve us to come on here to help you. (I don’t mind :) ). The other time was to clarify the max points glitch :)
