With their superior accuracy, the Kig-Yar Snipers can eliminate any enemy from a distance with their long range weaponry. They are known to snipe from hard to reach places such as ledges, cliffs, rooftops, [[deployable lookout tower]]s, and occasionally large branches on trees which provide them a wide view of the battleground, and more importantly, conceal their location. Their positions are often easily revealed when they fire their weapons. | ||
Kig-Yar Snipers often wear [[Kig-Yar targeting headgear|headpieces]] which emit a faint purple glow. This glow can be seen from a distance, thus giving away the sniper's position. On lower difficulties, Kig-Yar Snipers are commonly seen with [[Vostu-pattern carbine|Covenant carbine]]s, though snipers armed with [[Sulok-pattern beam rifle|particle beam rifle]]s will still be encountered, albeit less frequently. On higher difficulties, they are more commonly seen to wield the particle beam rifle. In ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'', a single particle beam rifle shot on the [[Legendary]] difficulty will kill the player, regardless of the hit location. In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', Kig-Yar Snipers wield [[Gadulo-pattern needle rifle|needle rifle]]s and [[M'tara-pattern focus rifle|focus rifle]]s instead of carbines and particle beam rifles, preventing them from achieving one-hit kills. In ''[[Halo 4]]'', Kig-Yar Snipers are nearly always seen with [[Zubo-pattern beam rifle|beam rifles]], with [[Kig-Yar Ranger]]s being the primary wielders of carbines. Some snipers also wield [[Type-55 Directed Energy Rifle/Advanced|storm rifles]]. | Kig-Yar Snipers often wear [[Kig-Yar targeting headgear|headpieces]] which emit a faint purple glow.
