| '''Storm''' was an infrequent specialist combat role for [[Kig-Yar]] serving in the [[Covenant]], and later became widespread among the various [[Covenant remnants]], acting as shock troopers.<ref name="Archive">[https://web.archive.org/web/20180427215749/http://www.haloarchive.com/forum/topic/9-canon-fodder-and-random-lore-chat/?page=96&tab=comments '''Halo Archive''': ''Canon Fodder Thread'']</ref><ref name="H4 Interactive Guide">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide '''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''']</ref><ref>'''Halo 4 Prima Official Game Guide'''</ref> | | The '''Kig-Yar Storm'''<ref name="H4 Interactive Guide">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide '''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''']</ref><ref>'''Halo 4 Prima Official Game Guide'''</ref> is a [[Kig-Yar]] rank serving under the [[Covenant remnant]]. |

| == 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.
| | The Kig-Yar Storm is the lowest ranking class of Kig-Yar. They fill virtually the same role the [[Kig-Yar Minor]] did in the original [[Covenant]]. They are given a combat harness identical to the Kig-Yar Minors; the only difference is that the harness also comes in a red variant, a turquoise variant, and an orange variant. |
| | |
| ==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 {{Pattern|Mosa|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-54 plasma pistol|Type-54D plasma pistol]] and [[Type-56D needler]] as their primary weapons.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| Kig-Yar Storm are relatively easy to defeat by using a precision weapon such as the {{Pattern|Vostu|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. | |
