Dual wielding [[SMGs]] and other dual-wielding weapons has proven to be very effective, as well as the [[Sentinel Beam]], M90 shotgun and [[Energy Sword]]. [[Plasma Pistols]], however, are the least useful. Dual-wielding [[Plasma Rifle]]s, and aiming at the arms of the Flood is more than enough to rip them apart easily. The arms will come off quickly and therefore leave the combat form, quite literally, unarmed. They will waddle about and explode after a few seconds. There is also a way of killing combat forms in one shot. On the chest, you can see the infection form's tentacles waving about. This is where the infection form has burrowed. Shoot the infection form, and unless the combat form is utilizing shields, the combat form will die. | Dual wielding [[SMGs]] and other dual-wielding weapons has proven to be very effective, as well as the [[Sentinel Beam]], M90 shotgun and [[Energy Sword]].

The SMG is also an excellent weapon against the Flood, as long as ammo is in large supply. Also effective is the [[BR55 Battle Rifle]], as aiming for the Infection Form in the chest of a Combat Form will kill the Infection Form controlling it in a single burst. It is often a good idea to use the [[Brute Shot]]'s melee, as it will have the same effect as an Energy sword on Combat Forms; it will destroy the body and prevent Infection Forms from reanimating it. If you don't have access to an Energy Sword or a brute shot, you can pick up a gun you don't need and use it to shoot the dead flood's arms off. Now it doesn't matter if it is resurected because it can not harm you.

Another highly effective combo is to carry a [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]] for engaging the Flood at long ranges and carrying an M90 Shotgun for when you don't have enough time to be precise with your aim. A good strategy on The Oracle is to dual wield a pair of [[Needlers]], you can usually do this without running out of ammo. Also, don't let the infection forms touch you if you have no shields; otherwise, they will kill you instantly. | ||
