Sangheili Rangers are anti-infantry units armed with T-51 carbines that can be built by every Banished leader at the [[Raid Camp]]. Unlike Rangers in other games Banished Rangers do not use jetpacks, and are not equipped with energy shields. In [[Blitz]] Rangers cost 30 energy while Assault Rangers cost 50 energy. They come in pairs and threes unlike UNSC [[sniper]]s, who are deployed alone.
