Sangheili Rangers are combat experts in environments with little or no gravity. However, they are commonly deployed planetside during engagements. A Ranger's ease of mobility poses the greatest threat to his opponents on a world's surface.<ref name="enc133">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 133'' (2011 edition)</ref>

The Rangers wear hermetically sealed combat armor that would allow them to work in the vacuum of space or other similarly hazardous environment.{{Ref/Reuse|ReferenceA}} In addition to this, the Rangers are equipped with either an [[antigravity pack]] or a [[Covenant thruster pack|thruster pack]], providing them greater mobility. The armor of a Sangheili Ranger allows them to operate in gravity and [[oxygen]]-free environments, but the thrusters on their armor are specifically designed for mobility in gravity-intensive environments.{{Ref/Reuse|enc133}}

The Rangers will use their thruster packs to great effect in battle, using them to strafe while firing their weapons. In ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo: Reach'', their energy shield strength is similar to that of a Sangheili Minor. For combat, they are often seen dual-wielding plasma rifles (''Halo 2'') as well as using suppression rifles such as the focus rifle and the needle rifle. Ranger armor is colored cyan in ''Halo 2'' and grey in ''Halo: Reach''.

Sangheili Rangers are anti-infantry units armed with {{Pattern|Mosa|carbine}}s that can be built by every Banished leader at the [[Raid Camp]]. Unlike Rangers in other games Banished Rangers do not use jetpacks, and are not equipped with energy shields. In [[Blitz]] Rangers cost 30 energy while Assault Rangers cost 50 energy. They come in pairs and threes unlike UNSC [[sniper]]s, who are deployed alone.
