| ==Equipment==
| |
| The Heavy is equipped with armor that provides excellent protection. Its design is intended to reflect the Kig-Yar's station and intimidate enemies. The Heavy wields an orange [[Kig-Yar Point Defense Gauntlet|point defense gauntlet]], and wears a helmet contrary to most Kig-Yar infantry troopers. They are typically deployed as support for scouts and trackers.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130430224420/http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/fc545ff4-f850-4ded-a106-7b5a41193366/jackal-heavy- '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Jackal Heavy'']</ref> During the [[Battle of Requiem]] and [[Requiem Campaign]], Kig-Yar Heavies were typically armed with [[Type-33 Needler]]s or [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]s.<ref name="H4">'''[[Halo 4]]'''</ref> By October [[2558]], they began to use [[Type-56D Needler]]s and [[Type-54D plasma pistol]]s.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>

| ==Gameplay==
| |
| Like their Major counterparts in past games, Kig-Yar Heavies are somewhat tougher and smarter than the Storm Jackals. On higher difficulties, their point defense gauntlets can withstand a single Overcharged plasma pistol shot. 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. Although an Overcharged Plasma Pistol shot will not completely disable a Kig-Yar Heavy's shield, it will stagger it, leaving it open to attack.
