They wield the weapons of former [[UNSC Marines]] and, if available, those of the [[Covenant]]. On a rare occasion, if the player leaves a detached turret next to a dead Combat Form, when the Combat Form gets reanimated it will wield the turret. They can be dangerous when wielding [[UNSC]] weapons like the Shotgun, which on higher difficulties can kill you in a couple of shots. In ''Halo 2'', they are also capable of driving vehicles such as [[Warthog]]s, [[Scorpion Tank]]s, [[Ghost]]s, and [[Wraith]]s. While they lose the ability to drive vehicles in ''[[Halo 3]]'', slow moving ones can still be boarded. They can wield any weapon, from  [[Battle Rifles]] to [[Brute Shot]]s. But like the Brute Combat Form, they only use their tentacle arm to attack. In ''Halo 3'', regardless of the Marine's gender, once infected, the combat form will be male. Once in a while you may also find one with a rocket launcher. These Rocket-Wielding Flood are rare in Halo 3, and only appear every so often in Halo 2, but there always seems to be one at choke points (e.g narrow corridors) in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]].

For a human to be infected all it needs is for a infection form to jump on the marine, so marines aren't the best friends to have during a flood outbreak as they can easily be infected and turn against you.

In [[Halo Wars]], Elite combat forms' heads are not forced backwards. This may be an oversight on Ensemble's part, or it may be there to make the Flood scarier.

For an elite to be infected it must have no sheild, or else the infection form will just explode on contact.

However, they do not use the Gravity Hammer to great effect, they just use it to melee instead of using the primary explosive hit (though that may have been a consideration on Bungie's part, it could be possible that they will kill themselves in the shock wave the Hammer produces). They are more powerful than the [[Human]] Form, but they are slower (bulkier) and can't jump as high due to their weight. Since when a Brute's armor is damaged far enough, it falls off leaving a stripped body, when a Flood Infection Form infects them, they don't have shielding capabilities like the Elite form. A shotgun round or a few melee attacks should be able to kill one.
