The Rangers have been observed in various combat theatres such as the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]], the [[Battle of Earth]], the [[Battle of Installation 05]], and the [[Fall of High Charity]]. The Rangers were also seen at the planet [[Reach]] when John-117 returned to the planet aboard the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''. | |||
With the Sangheili's [[Great Schism|departure]] from the Covenant, the Rangers were replaced by the [[Jump Pack Jiralhanae]] and [[Yanme'e]] as aerial infantry units. | |||
After the war, Sangheili Rangers continued to serve within various [[Covenant remnants|remnant factions of Covenant]]. Rangers also serve in the mercenary group known as the [[Banished]], albeit in the role of marksmen and skirmishers rather than extravehicular combat specialists.<ref name="HW2">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref> | |||

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

In ''Halo 2'', the Rangers' combat armor design was a combination of the [[Flight harness]] and the [[Assault harness]]. This design was changed significantly in ''Halo: Reach'' where they now have their own unique armor design to distinguish themselves from the rest of the Sangheili units. This was carried on in ''Halo 4''. | In ''Halo 2'', the Rangers' combat armor design was a combination of the [[Flight harness]] and the [[Assault harness]].

{{Conjecture}} | |||
Rangers in ''Halo: Reach'' wear a new type of helmet, bearing some resemblance to the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant|MJOLNIR EVA]] helmet. This helmet may be the type worn by Rangers in ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', as the novel describes them as having transparent visors. It is quite possible that the armor types featured in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo: Reach'' are used synonymously by Rangers, as the one in ''Halo 2'' seems more for low-altitude combat, whilst the armor seen in ''Halo: Reach'' appears to be designed for high-altitude and exoatmospheric combat, with a vacuum-sealed helmet and suit similar to the MJOLNIR EVA equivalent. | |||
