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. On the level Cortana, dual-wielding [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|Plasma Rifles]] are very effective due to the combined rate of fire and their weakness to Plasma. While Ranged Forms can absorb impressive volumes of damage while dormant, a few well-placed shots to the "mouth" area will kill them. It should be noted that on higher difficulties, killing a Ranged Form with the Flamethrower will sometimes result in a Spike Grenade explosion. Meleeing ranged forms is an instant kill on any difficulty. Two ways of noticing a dead ranged form, one, they tip over and two, they will always drop a spike grenade. The player also needs to take into account when stuck by a [[type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|plasma grenade]] or [[type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade|spike grenade]], a ranged form may survive by mutating into another form, causing the grenade to disappear without exploding, essentially "eating" the grenade. If this does not happen, the grenade will kill it. | Like many Flood Forms, Ranged Forms possess a small cluster of sensory appendages emitting from their "mouths".
