'''Kig-Yar Heavy'''<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/Detail/character-enemy-renders/421563ab-3b18-4e29-8487-3dd79b627a70#imageNumber=17 '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''New Halo 4 Renders'']</ref> is a rank of [[Kig-Yar]] serving in [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction]]. | |||
==Description== | |||
The Heavy is similar to a [[Kig-Yar Major]] and [[Kig-Yar Minor|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.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Halo 4 Interactive Guide'']</ref> 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. | |||
