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''. | The Rangers will use their thruster packs to great effect in battle, using them to strafe while firing their weapons.

They come in pairs and threes unlike UNSC [[sniper]]s, who are deployed alone. | ||
