| '''Ranger''' is an [[achievement]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''. It is unlocked by beating the par score on the level [[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]. The achievement is worth 10 [[Gamerscore]]. It is represented by a blue circle with a target in it, also known as the "Bullseye" emblem, in the original game and a screenshot of [[Guardian (map)|Guardian]] in the collection. | | '''Ranger''' is a [[Halo 3]] [[meta-game|Meta-Game]] [[Achievement]]. It is earned when the player earns 50,000 points while playing the [[meta-game]] on [[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]]. This Achievement gives 10 [[Gamerpoints]] to the player. |

|
| The par score for The Ark is 50,000 points in ''Halo 3'' and 25,000 points in ''The Master Chief Collection''; the difference is due to the fact that the two games feature different [[campaign scoring]] formulae. Though the achievement can theoretically be unlocked on any difficulty, more points are awarded in campaign scoring when playing on higher difficulties.
| | It is represented by a blue circle with a target, also known as the "Bullseye" emblem. It is probably called Ranger because the first section on the level focuses on sniping Covenant enemies; since a ranger acts as a scout of a larger military unit, often armed with mid-to-long range armaments to befit their role. It could also be that the Master Chief and Marines sent in through the atmosphere are supposed to secure a landing zone for the [[Forward Unto Dawn|Forward Unto Dawn]]. This would make them Rangers, or Scouts. Or, since The Ark is one of the longest levels, it could refer to the long distances you have to traverse. |
|
| |
|
| In the original game, players must achieve the par score individually, even when playing [[Cooperative play|cooperatively]]; in ''The Master Chief Collection'' cooperative players share a single score, potentially making the achievement much easier.
| | Try to turn on Famine and Tough Luck skulls. Unfortunately, it is hard to turn on 4 skulls in this level as the long nature of the level is just too stubborn to work with. At the start, you are sniping. Then, you're on the road. Then you stop and get into a scorpion. Next you stop again to get through a [[Forerunner]] construct after which you get into another Scorpion again. After that you go on foot to enter the massive fortress-like construct and finally end the level. See, every part of the level has characteristics of a few different levels. Best is you play this on Heroic and fast. Try to score as many head-shots at the start of the level because you're going to need them. |

| ==Methods/Tips==
| | Another great way to get all the meta game achievements is to go through on normal with Tilt, Mythic, Thunderstorm, Cowbell, Grunt Birthday Party, IWHBYD (optional), Tough Luck, Famine, and Fog. Doing this will usually net you 2+ times the amount of points you needed to get the achievement (Example: 132452 on The Covenant where only 50000 is needed). |
| #Activate the Tough Luck and Famine [[Halo 3 skulls|skulls]], on Normal or Heroic difficulty. Try to score as many headshots as possible.
| |
| #On Normal, activate the Tough Luck, Fog, Famine, Thunderstorm, and Mythic skulls. Try to get lots of style points (for example, by sticking enemies, scoring headshots, etc.).
| |
| #On Normal, activate the Fog, Tough Luck, and Mythic skulls. Get many headshots and destroy '''all''' [[Phantom]]s and most other vehicles.
| |
| #In ''The Master Chief Collection'' players can earn significant points by destroying unoccupied Covenant vehicles as the game does not differentiate between piloted and empty vehicles; ''Halo 3'' is the only game in the collection with this campaign scoring quirk.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In the Halo 3 Ultimate Guide Magazine, it is mistakenly stated that you only need to earn 15,000 points to unlock this achievement, rather than the correct 50,000 points.
| |
| *''Piggyback's Halo 3 Strategy Guide'' erroneously called this achievement the "Demon" achievement.
| |
| *The achievement may be called Ranger because the first section of the level focuses on sniping; a ranger acts as a scout of a larger military unit, often armed with mid-to-long range weapons, such as a sniper rifle, to benefit their role. The name of the achievement could also be derived from the fact that the Master Chief and the Marines are sent into their mission through the atmosphere. This would make them Rangers. Alternatively, since The Ark is one of the longest levels in the game, the name could also refer to the long distances the player has to traverse.
