Infection Forms will gather in large swarms, attacking with their claws and tentacles. If the victim's shields are active, as explained earlier, the Infection Form will burst. However, the sheer force of numbers can sometimes deplete a victim's shields, allowing these Flood forms to take control of the Human/Brute/Elite body. | Infection Forms will gather in large swarms, attacking with their claws and tentacles.

A single round from any weapon will burst an Infection Form. For this reason, automatic weapons are recommended. Dual-wielding [[Plasma Rifle]]s, [[Brute Plasma Rifle]]s, [[Spiker]]s, or using a UNSC ballistic weapon all work well. The Battle Rifle, with its bursts of fire, can be quite effective, the [[Shotgun]] works well too when shooting at large groups closing in. Try to avoid using weapons such as [[M6 Series|M6 Handguns]], or [[Plasma Pistols]], as their rate of fire is very low. Also, try to avoid using [[Grenade]]s, as they close in extremely quickly and you may suffer damage from your own grenade. In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', automatic weapons like the Assault Rifle and Plasma Rifle are good on them, the Needler in many ways can also be good: be careful though, do not stick too many Needles on one at a time while they are close as if you do it will explode and effect you most likely depleting your shields. SMGs are incredibly effective for taking on swarms of Infection Forms with its plentiful ammo and impressive rate of fire. | A single round from any weapon will burst an Infection Form.

Infection Forms are spawned from bulging, sac-like pods in [[Flood Hive]]s, called the [[Flood Growth Pods]]. It may be tempting to destroy these sacs, but it is actually more advisable not to, since destroying them will not kill the Infection Forms inside. | Infection Forms are spawned from bulging, sac-like pods in [[Flood Hive]]s, called the [[Flood Growth Pods]].
