Also, they wield a different kind of weapon that is strapped to the wrists of the Kig-Yar and have no visible [[energy shielding]].<ref name="genesis">'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref> They do not usually wear jetpacks and instead are equipped with surface-adhering boots—possibly magnetic—which allow them to walk safely in zero-gravity environments.{{Ref/Reuse|for348}} The full body EVA suits, donned by some Kig-Yar Rangers in service with the Covenant, was considered uncomfortable by some.
