During the [[Battle of Installation 05]], Carrier forms were utilized as "[[Naval boarding|boarding]] parties" by the Flood. They are ejected from an [[airlock]] of an infected ship towards an uninfected ship.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 197''</ref> | During the [[Battle of Installation 05]], Carrier forms were utilized as "[[Naval boarding|boarding]] parties" by the Flood.

Carrier forms are usually considered slow and of little threat unless they are close to the player. However, one particularly dangerous trait of exploding Carrier Forms is the explosive chain reactions they can cause. A Carrier explosion will cause any other Carrier Forms close enough to explode also. They also cause any nearby explosives or objects to explode. This means a single Carrier can cause a massive explosion through a chain reaction filling much of a small area. This can be used to a soldier's advantage if there are Combat or Pod infectors surrounding the Carrier(s). They are sometimes considered a "Flood grenade". | Carrier forms are usually considered slow and of little threat unless they are close to the player.
