Infester

The Flood Infester is a Flood pure form encountered on the Ark in 2559.Halo Wars 2, Phoenix Log - Infester
==Description==
The Flood Infester is a flood pure form that is encountered in the Halo Wars 2 DLC Awakening the Nightmare. It serves as the Flood's anti-vehicle unit and is relatively common on the battlefield during the Awakening the Nightmare campaign. The Infester walks on four legs and has a large pulsing sack protruding from its abdomen, which contains Flood spores. It will attack the player's ground vehicle units by pouncing on top of them and exploding, releasing all of the Flood spores into the vehicle and its crew. This attack will turn the player's vehicles against them as they are converted into Flood vehicles.
== Tactics ==
Since Infesters will infect and turn the player's vehicles against them, it is best to attack them with infantry or air units instead, before allowing their vehicles to move up. Elite Rangers may be the best choice due to their anti-infantry properties. Alternatively, air units are hard for Infesters to reach, but Infesters are often accompanied by Seeder Infectors, which are the Flood's anti-air units.
