Infection Forms will gather in large swarms, attacking with their claws and tentacles. If the victim's shields are active, as explained earlier, the Infection Form will burst. However, the sheer force of numbers can sometimes deplete a victim's shields, allowing these Flood to take control of the Human/Brute/Elite. | Infection Forms will gather in large swarms, attacking with their claws and tentacles.

A single round from any weapon will burst an Infection Form. For this reason, automatic weapons are recommended. Dual-wielding [[Plasma Rifle]]s, [[Brute Plasma Rifle]]s, [[Spiker]]s, or using a UNSC ballistic weapon all work well. The Battle Rifle, with its bursts of fire, are especially effective. Try to avoid using weapons such as M6 handguns, or Plasma Pistols, as their rate of fire is very low. Also, try to avoid using explosives, as they close in extremely quickly-you may do more damage to yourself than to them. In ''Halo: CE'', automatic weapons like the Assault Rifle and Plasma Rifle are good on them, the Needler in many ways can also be good but if you manage to get a lot of needles on one while they are in a group it will explode causing most of the others to explode to, do not stick a lot on one at a time while they are close as if you do it will explode and effect you most likely depleting your shields. SMGs are incredibly effective for taking on swarms of Infection Forms with its plentiful ammo and impressive rate of fire. | A single round from any weapon will burst an Infection Form.

It is advisable to ignore infection forms when playing on Easy or Normal when there are other enemies in the area, although if you let the swarm get to you they will deplete your energy shields. | ||
Infection Forms are spawned from bulging, sac-like pods in [[Flood Hive]]s. It may be tempting to destroy these sacs, but it is actually more advisable not to, since destroying them will not kill the Infection Forms inside. | Infection Forms are spawned from bulging, sac-like pods in [[Flood Hive]]s.
