Kig-Yar Heavy[1] 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.[2] 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. 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.
