Hazekiller Gear

Hazekiller Gear debuts in The Final Empire as the specialized equipment of the Steel Inquisitors' elite anti-Allomancer squads—loose gray robes, wooden dueling canes, and large shields that grant complete immunity to metallic pushes and pulls. Across the series, the concept evolves from a purely defensive kit into a broader tactical philosophy: the gear's principles are later adapted by the kandra and the new world's military forces, who refine non-metallic weaponry and armor to counter Mistings and Mistborn in the increasingly Allomantically diverse post-Catacendre era. By the Wax and Wayne trilogy, hazekiller tactics have become standard operating procedure for constabulary and criminal organizations alike, demonstrating how a single technological adaptation can reshape an entire world's balance of power.
