== Description == | == Description == | ||
While Kig-Yar Storm were shock troops in the original Covenant, post-war they fill virtually the same role as [[Kig-Yar Minor]]s. | |||
==Equipment== | |||
The Kig-Yar Storm combat harness can be found in red, turquoise, and orange. Their [[Kig-Yar point defense gauntlet]]s are purple. During the [[Battle of Requiem]] and the [[Requiem Campaign]] Kig-Yar Storm commonly fielded [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]s and [[Type-33 Needler]]s,<ref name="H4">'''[[Halo 4]]'''</ref> while sometimes using [[Type-51 carbine]]s.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', [[S1/Exodus/One Last Time|S1E10 ''One Last Time'']]</ref> By October, 2558, Storm units had switched to the [[Type-54D plasma pistol]] and [[Type-56D Needler]] as their primary weapons.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> | |||
==Gameplay== | ==Gameplay== | ||
Kig-Yar Storm are relatively easy to defeat by using a precision weapon such as the [[Type-51 carbine]] or the [[M395 DMR]] to aim between the gaps in their point defense gauntlets. They can also be easily brought down using an overcharged [[Type-25 plasma pistol]] shot to the shield, followed by a precision headshot. At close range, they can be killed with one or two melee strikes. | |||
