Kig-Yar Raiders are Kig-Yar mercenaries that serve the Banished.
Overview
Like the Kig-Yar Heavy soldiers that served in the various Covenant remnant factions, Kig-Yar Raiders wear full body armor and helmets, usually red-silver, and are equipped with stronger orange handheld energy shields. Although typically armed with Type-54 plasma pistols, Raiders can also wield Disruptors and Manglers.[1]
History
Numerous Kig-Yar Raiders participated in the Installation 07 conflict, serving as infantry, scouts, and guards for the Banished. The Jiralhanae Warlord Tremonius was accompanied by two Kig-Yar Raiders when he confronted John-117 beneath Outpost Tremonius.[2]
Gameplay
Raiders are typically encountered in pairs. They are significantly more durable than the lower-ranking Freebooters and their arm shields can withstand multiple melee hits. As with the Freebooters, the Grappleshot can still be used to stagger Raiders and expose them. Also like the Freeboters, Raiders tend to flee when their shields are disabled.
