Optimized to engage in combat operations within exotic environments such as space. radioactive sites and other hazardous locations, Elite Rangers have been employed by the Covenant since its very inception. The Elite Ranger role operates similar to that of the Elite Storm, despite requiring the use of extra-vehicular activity equipment, marginally heavier armor and gravity-mitigating thruster packs. The vast majority of military ops deploying Elite Rangers are EVA-only engagements, however some Ranger squads are deployed to terrestrial sites where their thruster packs provide a unique advantage against their enemies. | Optimized to engage in combat operations within exotic environments such as space. radioactive sites and other hazardous locations, Elite Rangers have been employed by the Covenant since its very inception.

*'''Shielding package''': THROUGH A MODIFYING BYPASS OF STANDARD PERFORMANCE REGULATORS, THE SHIELDING PACKAGE REINFORCES PERSONAL ENERGY-SHIELD EMITTERS, RESULTING IN A SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER SHIELD-RECHARGE RATE. AFTER TAKING DAMAGE, SPARTANS WILL NOTICE THEIR SHIELDS RECHARGING AT A QUICKER SPEED THAN OTHERS WHO HAVE NOT OPTED FOR THIS PACKAGE IN THEIR LOADOUT. | |||
*'''Firepower package''': BY ALTERNATING REDUNDANT MAGNETIC STREAMS AT THE REAR OF A SPARTAN’S ARMOR, THE FIREPOWER PACKAGE OVERRIDES REGULATED LOADOUT LIMITATIONS, ALLOWING USERS TO CARRY TWO PRIMARY WEAPONS SIMULTANEOUSLY. FOR SPARTANS WHO PREFER HEAVIER OR LONGER-RANGED FIREPOWER OVER CLOSE-RANGE VERSATILITY AND SPEED, THIS PACKAGE IS TYPICALLY CONSIDERED IMPERATIVE. | |||
*'''AA efficiency package''': BY DISABLING SHORTWAVE SYSTEM REGULATORS, THE AA EFFICIENCY PACKAGE GENERATES MORE POWER TO RECHARGE ARMOR ABILITIES AT A FASTER RATE THAN NORMAL. INTERESTINGLY, SPARTANS INVOLVED IN ASYMMETRIC ENGAGEMENT ROLES FAVOR THIS PACKAGE AS AN AD HOC COMBAT MODIFIER TO GIVE THEM THE ADVANTAGE IN THE FIELD, EVEN IF IT’S ONLY SHORT TERM. | |||
*'''Grenadier package''': RESTRUCTURING THE STANDARD MAGNETIC HARDPOINTS ON THE MJOLNIR GEN2 SYSTEM, THE GRENADIER PACKAGE INCREASES TOTAL GRENADE CAPACITY FOR ALL PERSONNEL. PER COMPATIBILITY REGULATIONS, THIS PACKAGE EXTENDS TO BOTH DOMESTIC AND EXOTIC GRENADES, INCLUDING THOSE USED BY COVENANT AND FORERUNNER COMBATANTS. | |||
*'''Resupply package''': THROUGH A SOFTWARE PATCH TO MJOLNIR’S MAGNETIC HARDPOINT CONFIGURATION, THE RESUPPLY PACKAGE ALLOWS USERS TO RETRIEVE GRENADES FROM THE ARMOR OF FALLEN SOLDIERS. THIS PARTICULAR PACKAGE IS WIDELY USED BY POST-COMBAT RECON TEAMS AND EQUIPMENT RECOVERY PERSONNEL DEPLOYED TO ENEMY-HELD LOCATIONS, WHERE THE SECURING OF MATERIEL FROM BOTH ALLIES AND FOES IS NOT A LUXURY BUT A NECESSITY. | |||
*'''Mobility package''': WITHIN MJOLNIR GEN2 ARCHITECTURE, MUSCLE CONTROL ACTUATORS ALLOW SPARTANS THE FREEDOM OF HIGH-INTENSITY MOBILITY WITHOUT SEVERELY DAMAGING THEIR BODIES IN THE PROCESS. HOWEVER, SPARTANS CAN USE THE MOBILITY PACKAGE AT THEIR OWN DISCRETION TO MODIFY AND BYPASS THESE CONTROLS, GAINING UNPRECEDENTED SPRINTING STAMINA. | |||
*'''Requisition package''': WHEN IT COMES TO THE ORDNANCE VERSATILITY IN COMBAT, THE REQUISITION PACKAGE IS INCREDIBLY USEFUL. BY INSTALLING THIS HARDLINE CHANNEL SYSTEM, A USER CAN REQUEST ALTERNATE SELECTIONS OF WEAPONS OR TOOLS DURING ORDNANCE DROPS, OFFERING SUBSTANTIALLY MORE CHOICES ON THE BATTLEFIELD. | |||
