'''Storm''' was an infrequent specialist combat role for [[Kig-Yar]] serving in the [[Covenant]], and later became widespread among the various [[Covenant remnants]], acting as shock troopers.<ref name="Archive">[https://web.archive.org/web/20180427215749/http://www.haloarchive.com/forum/topic/9-canon-fodder-and-random-lore-chat/?page=96&tab=comments '''Halo Archive''': ''Canon Fodder Thread'']</ref><ref name="H4 Interactive Guide">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide '''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''']</ref><ref>'''Halo 4 Prima Official Game Guide'''</ref>  

== Description ==
While Kig-Yar Storm were shock troops in the original Covenant, post-war they fill virtually the same role as [[Kig-Yar Minor]]s.

==Equipment==
The Kig-Yar Storm combat harness can be found in red, turquoise, and orange. Their [[Kig-Yar point defense gauntlet]]s are purple. During the [[Battle of Requiem]] and the [[Requiem Campaign]] Kig-Yar Storm commonly fielded [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]s and [[Type-33 needler]]s,<ref name="H4">'''[[Halo 4]]'''</ref> while sometimes using [[Type-51 carbine]]s.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', [[S1/Exodus/One Last Time|S1E10 ''One Last Time'']]</ref> By October, 2558, Storm units had switched to the [[Type-54 plasma pistol|Type-54D plasma pistol]] and [[Type-56 needler|Type-56D needler]] as their primary weapons.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>

==Gameplay==
Kig-Yar Storm are relatively easy to defeat by using a precision weapon such as the [[Type-51 carbine]] or the [[M395 DMR]] to aim between the gaps in their point defense gauntlets. They can also be easily brought down using an overcharged [[Type-25 plasma pistol]] shot to the shield, followed by a precision headshot. At close range, they can be killed with one or two melee strikes.
