*The Energy Sword in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'' can be used to destroy the corpses of [[Flood]] [[Combat Form]]s so that they cannot be re-infected by [[Infection Form]]s. The cutting process does not drain battery power. However, any weapon's melee attack can be used to destroy combat form corpses if used enough times, even a depleted Energy Sword hilt.
