The Unggoy Rangers[2] are a specialized group of Unggoy serving in the Covenant and its remnants.
Overview
Unggoy Rangers are specialists fully trained and armored for extra-vehicular activity. With engagement suits designed to withstand extreme temperatures, low-to-zero gravity, and other rigors found in the vacuum of space, this role is fully capable of EVA combat. In accordance with longstanding Covenant protocol, Unggoy Rangers can also be deployed into terrestrial environments, where terrain is unsuitable to traverse for other infantry.[3]
Equipment
Harness
The Unggoy ranger harness has a wide-stack methane supply tank with an EVA thruster pack on it, this allows the user to freely navigate low-to-zero gravity environments. The helmet has a twin-filter rebreather so the Unggoy user does not suffocate in the harsh enviroments.[4]
There is two versions of EVA-rated suit which covers the entire Unggoy body, both of which have hock-mitigators on the feet. The version that has a more smooth surface is designed to withstand exteme temperatures, low-to-zero gravity, and other rigors found in the vacuum of space. While the other has a more layers to it.[4]
The smooth surface EVA-rated suit.
Gameplay
Unggoy Rangers aren't any more difficult to kill than other Unggoy. A single precision shot to the head is enough to bring one down on any difficulty. On the other hand, Unggoy Rangers tend to panic less than normal Unggoy when a Sangheili is killed. Furthermore, they can use their EVA harnesses to make short jumps when operating in the vacuum.
