The armor of a Sangheili Storm is simple and sleek. Although, it is efficient for their combat purposes.[1] One aspect they differ in largely from the Sangheili Minor is their combat harness. The Storm combat harness can be found in blue, green, red, and white. Also, whereas the Minor combat harness covers the entire body, the Storm combat harness leaves the wearer's arms exposed.
Sangheili Storm are often armed with storm rifles and Covenant carbines, while using a Type-33 Needler or a Type-25 plasma pistol for a sidearm. Occasionally, they will wield explosive weaponry, like the Type-33 fuel rod guns or Type-50 concussion rifles. Contrary to the original Covenant, this reformed sect seems less stringent about traditional wielding protocol; as such, Sangheili Storm class are quite often seen wielding energy swords.[3] Sangheili Storm will sometimes use Forerunner weaponry, like the Z-110 boltshot.[4]
