Generally, Kig-yar snipers are considered as support units to the Covenant forces when engaging an enemy. With their superior accuracy, the Kig-yar snipers can eliminate any enemy from a distance with its 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 most importantly to conceal their location. Their position are easily revealed when they release fire from their Beam Rifle and Covenant Carbine.

In ''[[Halo 3]]'', the Kig-yar Sniper's headpieces emit a faint purple glow and can be seen from a distance, thus giving away the Kig-yar's position. On lower difficulties, the Kig-yar Snipers are commonly seen with Covenant Carbines, though players will encounter some with Beam Rifles. On higher difficulties, they are more commonly seen to wield the Beam Rifle and delivering a one-hit kill to the players regardless where it hits.advantage, as it gives away the Jackal's position.

The most efficient and effective way in eliminating Kig-yar Snipers is by using a long-range weaponry such as the [[Sniper Rifle]], [[Battle Rifle]], Covenant Carbine and Beam Rifle and firing from afar without having them discovering the player's location. Sidearms with mounted scopes such as the [[M6C/SOCOM]] are also exceptional in killing off them, provided that the player aims at the head. Medium range weaponry such as the [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|Plasma Rifle]], the [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG]] and the [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|Assault Rifle]] can suppress the Kig-yar sniper, allowing the player to finish them off with a quick [[melee]].
