Kig-Yar Heavy

Kig-Yar Heavy is a rank of Kig-Yar serving in Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction.

Description
The Heavy is similar to a Kig-Yar Major and Minor with the exception of a helmet and orange colored shield. They are typically deployed as scouts and trackers, as well as for boarding actions. Kig-Yar Heavies are typically armed with Needlers or Plasma Pistols.

Gameplay
Like their Major counterparts in the original Covenant, Kig-Yar Heavies are somewhat tougher and smarter than the Storms. They also use the Needler more often than the Storm. In general, however, they are still relatively easy to defeat. Despite their protective helmets, a single precision shot to the head will usually bring them down.
