There are several distinct races of Kig-Yar, though humans have commonly identified two groupings ('''Jackals''' and '''Skirmishers''') based on encounters in the battlefield. In combat, Kig-Yar typically served the Covenant as snipers and scouts due to their excellent senses of sight, smell, and hearing.{{Ref/Reuse|HE155}}

Kig-Yar served primarily as light infantry, police forces, overseers, and marksmen. They were commonly used for interdiction, infiltration, and assassination operations. Kig-Yar privateers also commonly crew Covenant [[missionary ship]]s, such as the ''[[Minor Transgression]]''. Originally, they were intended to replace the Unggoy as the foot soldiers of the Covenant, but their temperament made this impractical. Instead, they were assigned roles that were better suited to their natural abilities, such as scouts and snipers.<ref name="HE155">'''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe''', ''pages 154-155'' (2011 edition)</ref> Certain Kig-Yar were used as shock troops and specialized close-combat roles.

Several specialist ranks exist of the Kig-Yar. The Kig-Yar rank of [[Kig-Yar Sniper|Sniper]] comprises the Covenant's foremost long-range combatants. They are known to carry weapons such as [[Gadulo-pattern needle rifle|needle rifles]] and [[Sulok-pattern beam rifle|particle beam rifles]], but do not use point defense gauntlets as to better wield their weapon. This is turn makes them more vulnerable and exposed to enemy fire. {{Ref/Reuse|e146-7}} [[Kig-Yar Ranger]]s are part of the Covenant's [[Special Warfare Group]] division, [[Fleet Security]], and are trained for zero-G [[Extra-vehicular activity|EVA]] combat, and are equipped with [[vacuum suit]]s and magnetic boots.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref>

===Ranks within the Banished===
Among the Banished, Kig-Yar are employed in a more overtly mercenary role. The lowest ranking Kig-Yar are known as [[Kig-Yar Freebooter|Freebooter]]s, and comprise the vast majority of those employed by the faction. The following rank is known as [[Kig-Yar Raider|Raider]], comprised of more ruthless and money-hungry Kig-Yar.{{Ref/Game|Id=HI|HI|campaign}} However, many Freeboters avoid promotion in order to be assigned to less dangerous missions, a hesitation that their commanders try to override with promises of wealth.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22|Enc22|Page=432}} The Banished also employ the Sniper rank like the old Covenant, in the same roles.{{Ref/Reuse|HI}} In addition, the Banished restored the [[Skirmisher]] rank to its pre-Covenant role, with many Ruuthians in their lines taking up the traditional garb and proving to be as deadly as their T'vaoan cousins.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=433}} Still, the group also employs T'vaoans in this role.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR16|SOR|Chapter=16}}
