How to Make Flood Friends

How to make flood friends
Flood friends or "flood buddy" is a glitch present in Halo: CE where if a flood combat forms arms are shot off or a weaponless ones whipping arm is blown off the flood will be unable to attack the player and will follow you around until it dies which is often quite soon as the player will usually betray it thinking it is an enemy.

This glitch is also present in Halo 3 where if you blow off the floods whipping arm it will do the same although allies will still kill it. These harmless flood are often called stalkers.
