As it is primarily geared towards intelligence gathering and covert operations, the Kage does not carry particularly heavy weaponry: an [[Anti-Personnel Weapon Mount]] on the right forearm, typically equipped with a submachine gun, keeps both of the [[Armored Gloves]] free for other tasks.  Within a Kage team one of the four troopers is designated as the support element and operates a single heavier weapon in place of the antipersonnel weapon, such as a [[Flamer (Battle Armor)|Flamer]], [[Small Laser (Battle Armor)|Small Laser]], [[Machine Gun (Battle Armor)|Machine Gun]], or [[Light Target Acquisition Gear (Battle Armor)|Light TAG]].  This weapon is carried into battle in pieces by each team member thanks to their [[Squad Support Weapon Mount]] and assembled prior to combat.<ref name=TRO3058U/><ref name=LOS/>

The standout feature of the Kage is its [[Partial Wing (Battle Armor)|Partial Wing]] assembly which allows it to make assisted jumps of 120 meters at a time and clear obstacles up to 24 meters in height; when not in use the wing retracts in order to reduce the suit's visibility and radar signature.  This mobility is enhanced by the suit's stealth features, 275kg of [[Basic Stealth]] armor.  Although providing barely enough protection against a single hit from a [[medium laser]], it incorporates aspects of a combination stealth suit with electronic and infrared suppression capabilities and can run indefinitely thanks to integral rechargers.  Not even [[Beagle Active Probe]]s can detect the Kage suit thanks to these features<ref name=TRO3058U/><ref name=LOS/>

On rare occasions DEST squads will outfit their suits with additional equipment, such as [[Laser Microphone|laser microphones]], [[Shotgun Microphone|shotgun microphones]], [[Remote Sensor Dispenser (Battle Armor)|remote sensor dispensers]] and [[ECM Suite (Battle Armor)|ECM suites]], however these are field modifications rather than official factory variants.<ref name=TRO3058U/>
