Although typically armed with the [[Rohakadu-pattern plasma pistol]]s, Raiders can also wield the [[Sicatt Workshop Disruptor]]s and the [[Ukala Workshop Mangler]]s.{{Ref/Game|Id=HI|HI}} | ||
Kig-Yar Raiders are most often utilized for offensive campaigns and missions that require infiltrating a heavily guarded stronghold, executing sieges, or capturing assets from enemy territory. Raiders are often conscripted from Kig-Yar rookeries with a reputation for aggression and hostility. It is possible for a [[Kig-Yar Freebooter|Freebooter]] who proves itself worthy in combat to be promoted to Raider. However, many Freebooters try to avoid this advancement in order to maintain the lowest possible risk-to-reward ratio. Banished commanders often attempt to override such hesitation with promises of wealth.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=432}} | |||

They are significantly more durable than the lower-ranking [[Kig-Yar Freebooter|Freebooters]] as their arm shields can withstand multiple melee hits. As with the Freebooters, the [[Grappleshot]] can be used to stagger Raiders and momentarily expose them. Also like the Freebooters, Raiders tend to flee when their shields are disabled. | ||
If engaged at close range, Raiders may attempt to melee the player with their arm shields. | |||
