The [[Brute Shot]] is a good choice for these Pure Forms as one or two [[grenades]] will, while not killing them out right (on [[normal]], it is possible to kill a Ranged Form with 2 well placed shots), knock them off the wall they tend to be stuck to allowing you to get close enough to kill them effectively. The Brute Shot's higher melee attack damage should kill them in one hit after knocking them off. | The [[Brute Shot]] is a good choice for these Pure Forms as one or two [[grenades]] will, while not killing them out right (on [[normal]], it is possible to kill a Ranged Form with 2 well placed shots), knock them off the wall they tend to be stuck to allowing you to get close enough to kill them effectively.

Like many Flood Forms, Ranged Forms possess a small cluster of sensory appendages emitting from their "mouths". These are located at the base of the abdomen, below the rows of projectile spines. One of the simplest ways to dispatch a Ranged Form is to target this sensory cluster while it is in a dormant state. While Ranged Forms can absorb impressive volumes of damage while dormant, a few well-placed shots to the "mouth" will kill them. | Like many Flood Forms, Ranged Forms possess a small cluster of sensory appendages emitting from their "mouths".

It should be noted that on higher difficulties, killing a Ranged Form with the [[Flamethrower]] will result in a [[Spike Grenade]] explosion. | ||
