It is not recommended to use sniper rifles against the Flood; it is simply a waste of valuable ammo. In any case, sniper bullets simply pass through Carrier forms, dealing virtually no damage. | It is not recommended to use sniper rifles against the Flood; it is simply a waste of valuable ammo.

In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' a good tactic is to hook one with a [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|Plasma Grenade]] and shoot it with the [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|Shotgun]]; this will kill the Infection forms inside. | In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' a good tactic is to hook one with a [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|Plasma Grenade]] and shoot it with the [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|Shotgun]]; this will kill the Infection forms inside. Another good tactic is to splatter it with vehicles since Carrier Form does not explode directly upon contact especially if you are in a hurry. | ||
In ''[[Halo 3]]'' it is a good idea to individually lure a Carrier form away from the rest of the Flood forms and '''then''' shoot it down, if its done right one can take down a Carrier form with an assault rifle and the infection forms inside just needs accuracy and very good timing. The luring bit needing patience as its quite tricky to lure them out as if one gets too close they'll explode, if one gets too far they'll just walk away. A [[M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle|Spartan Laser]] beam can only penetrate two Carrier forms. In turn, this will make the Carrier forms explode without releasing any infection forms at all, similar to sticking a Carrier form with a grenade or killing it with a Needler supercombine explosion. | In ''[[Halo 3]]'' it is a good idea to individually lure a Carrier form away from the rest of the Flood forms and '''then''' shoot it down, if its done right one can take down a Carrier form with an assault rifle and the infection forms inside just needs accuracy and very good timing.

Running over Carrier forms by a vehicle, on the other hand, is a very bad idea. Their explosions will easily flip the vehicle, wasting precious time, especially on a level like Halo 3's final level. | Running over Carrier forms by a vehicle, on the other hand, is a very bad idea. Their explosions will easily flip the vehicle, wasting precious time, especially on a level like Halo 3's final level. This only works on Halo 3 where the Carrier Form death mechanics allows it to explode upon impact while on Halo: Combat Evolved it takes time to explode. | ||
