Flood pure form: Difference between revisions

[[Tank Form|Tank Forms]] are large and easily spotted. Unlike the other [[Flood]] Pure Forms, they can not climb on walls and ceilings. These Flood can take a tremendous amount of damage and can kill you in one hit in higher difficulties. They also occasionally spew Infection Forms from their 'mouths'. The [[Energy Sword]] is the only weapon that can kill one of these flood forms in one hit. A [[Flamethrower]] can also kill a Tank Form with only a small amount of flame used. A [[Plasma Rifle]] has also proven effective to a certain degree. Also, the melee of a Brute Shot can be very effective, especially if used in a "hit and run" style, with the player rushing up, meleeing, and then retreating (2 hits are needed on [[Legendary]], or a shot and a melee). This tactic is very effective when [[Tank Form|Tank Forms]] are supporting a large number of [[Combat Forms]], as it frees up much needed ammo for fighting other [[Flood]] troops. Also it is helpful as the [[Brute Shot]] melee has infinite "ammo," so one can essentially take down a whole horde with clever melee tactics. However, please note that when changing form it is easiest to kill, seeing how it can't move while changing and it seems to have the health of the [[Stalker Form]]. When use of a Shotgun is necessitated, get close and aim for the target's "mouth", however the Pure form will occasionally attempt to cover its "mouth" with its left arm while charging, making headshots difficult.
