The Combat Forms can take extensive damage before being neutralized. Arms, legs, even heads can be totally blown off of their bodies before they are incapacitated. The only known weakness of a Combat Form is its sensory feelers that normally develop in the upper chest region. This is where the Infection Form has nestled, and once destroyed by a headshot-capable weapon, the body is incapacitated. In Halo 2, if the body is not destroyed, such as by an [[Energy Sword]], [[Grenade]] or [[Brute Shot]] blade, Combat Forms can be "revived" by [[Infection Form]]s. | |||

In both games, the Flood Combat Form is more vulnerable to human weapons, which unlike the Covenant small arms, has something actually 'hitting' it. In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] the most effective weapons to bring down the Flood are the [[Shotgun]] and the [[Assault Rifle]]. The [[Shotgun]] is the best weapon for killing [[Combat Forms]], but at longer ranges the [[Assault Rifle]] works the best. However, the [[M6D Magnum]] has also been found useful against Combat Forms (2-3 shots to the upper chest) and the [[Carrier Form]] (the pistol's zoom allows for the Carrier to be neutralized at a distance, possibly damaging other flood) in ''[[Halo: CE]]''. | In both games, the Flood Combat Form is more vulnerable to human weapons, which unlike the Covenant small arms, has something actually 'hitting' it.
