Kig-Yar mercenaries that serve in [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|reformed Covenant faction]] generally receive similar armor to what they wore in the old Covenant. The combat harness of a [[Kig-Yar Storm]] is nearly identical to that of a Minor. However, the armor worn by a [[Kig-Yar Heavy]] features a helmet that protects its users head. The helmet and targeting gear worn by Snipers covers a larger portion of its users head.<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]</ref> | Kig-Yar mercenaries that serve in [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|reformed Covenant faction]] generally receive similar armor to what they wore in the old Covenant.
