-'''Ranger''' is a [[Halo 3]] [[meta-game|Meta-Game]] [[Achievement]]. It is unlocked when the player earns 50,000 points while playing the [[meta-game]] on [[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]]. This Achievement awards the player 10 [[Gamerpoints]].
+'''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.
-It is represented by a blue circle with a target in it, also known as the "Bullseye" emblem. It is probably 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 to benefit his or her 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.  Or, since The Ark is one of the longest levels, the name could also refer to the long distances the player has to traverse.
+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.
-==Methods==
+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.
-. Activate the [[Tough Luck]] and [[Famine]] skulls, on Normal or Heroic. Try to score as many headshots as possible.
-. On Normal, activate the Tough Luck, [[Catch]], [[Thunderstorm]], [[Tilt]], and [[Mythic]] skulls. If you wish, activate the Famine skull as well. Try to get lots of style points (for example, by sticking enemies, scoring headshots, etc.).
+==Methods/Tips==
+#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 stated that you only need to earn 15,000 points to unlock this achievement, while you actually need to earn 50,000 points.
+*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.
