Flood ranged form: Difference between revisions

The '''Flood Ranged Form''' is a type of [[Flood Pure Forms]] from ''[[Halo 3]]''. It is formed when a [[Flood Stalker Form]] is damaged or chooses to mount itself in a stationary position either on the walls or on the ground. It has a mouth-like protrusion that opens up to reveal a living missile platform of regenerating spikes that they relentlessly pelt the player with whenever exiting cover. They also exhibit a behavior unlike any other in the Flood arsenal, when firing upon these forms they will curl up to shield their heads, which would normally result in an instant kill. To fully disable them the player must stop firing until they reveal their weak point once more, or keep firing until they die regardless of defense. When the [[Pure Form]] is finally killed they fall off the wall they are normally attached to (it is far less common to see a Ranged Form on the ground). They can be compared directly with [[Carbine]]-carrying [[Sniper Jackals]] earlier in the game in regards to range, damage, accuracy and relative annoyance.
