Kig-Yar Storm

The Kig-Yar Storm is a Kig-Yar rank serving under the Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction.

Description
The Kig-Yar Storm is the lowest ranking class of Kig-Yar in Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction. They fill virtually the same role the Kig-Yar Minor did in the original Covenant. They are given a combat harness identical to the Kig-Yar Minors; the only difference is that the harness also comes in a red variant, a turquoise variant, and an orange variant. Their Kig-Yar point defense gauntlets are also purple, rather than turquoise like their Minor counterparts.

Gameplay
Like their Minor counterparts in the original Covenant, Kig-Yar Storms are relatively easy to defeat by using a precision weapon such as the Covenant carbine or the DMR to aim between the gaps in their point defense gauntlets. They can also be easily brought down using an overcharged plasma pistol shot to the shield, followed by a precision headshot. At close range, they can be killed with one or two melee strikes.
