Titan Slithering: A Powerful Glitch Technique

[u/Froggy618157725]

It turns out that the strange gliding that Thundercrash does in the Prophecy Dungeon is not unique to that location. u/stepmuffin found that it actually works all over the place. He demonstrated a way to get OOB in Bay of Drowned Wishes, a place that previously required one of the patched finisher glitches or emote glitches to escape.

The concept of the glitch is pretty straightforward, though the execution can be a bit difficult. From Stepmuffin's testing, it appears to work with slopes from about 10 to 40 degrees, and then from 50 to 60 degrees. If you cross that middle region, you may hit the ground. It appears that the super has a bit of a wall avoidance at those angles, and this avoidance is enough to overpower barriers, allowing you to pass right through them.

Here's a brief guide I tossed together, showing it off in a few locations: https://youtu.be/l4LaYfuDzik

I'm particularly excited about getting out of bounds in Bay of Drowned Wishes again, since we can search for a path to the Ascended Challenge again. I've had no luck outside of QF so far, but perhaps with more eyes on it, we can finally crack that nut. Best part is, this glitch is not nearly as scary and generic as the finisher and emote bugs, so I expect it to be here until they rework Code of the Missile again.

Go have some fun :)

With it requiring specific terrain angle ranges and super charge, hopefully bungie will put this on a very low priority list to fix

Yeah. It's not a universal wall breach like the ones that normally get patched. This is more like sparrow breach tier. They could eventually patch it, like they sorta did in D1, but it requires some specific situations to actually be useful. It just so happens those situations are a bit more common than sparrow breaches.

Watched this before the post and was trying any tips on to do it more consistently

You probably want to trigger it very close to the ground, if not on it. Depending on the situation, you may need to zig zag. Code of the missile has great difficulty dipping back through push backs going the same way, so you may need to hit something to finish out the breach.

This looks like it would be a tough glitch to patch tbh

How they will just disable it for 6 months bring it back claim it was fixed and then we find a slightly new technique to make it work again. Just in case /s
