Halo 2 Rangers will use their thrusters to a great effect in battle, using them to strafe while firing their weapons. They are most often seen in [[Halo 2]] dual-wielding [[Plasma Rifles]], firing in prolonged bursts rather than short bursts. Rangers sometimes also set up Portable Plasma Cannons to provide heavy support fire against human space-capable forces.<ref>[[Halo 2]], [[Cairo Station (Level)]]</ref> Their energy shields are about the same strength as a [[Minor Elite]]'s and although their tactics differ, they require the same amount of firepower to lower, rendering their wearer vulnerable. | ||

Rangers are susceptible to Plasma Pistols and Needlers, which use their tracking ability to great effect, lowering their shields or in the Needlers case, killing them outright. However, for long-range combat a [[Battle Rifle]], [[Covenant Carbine]], [[Beam Rifle]] or [[Sniper Rifle]] can allow the player to kill them from long ranges, preventing them from becoming a threat close-up. | Rangers are susceptible to Plasma Pistols and Needlers, which use their tracking ability to great effect, lowering their shields or in the Needlers case, killing them outright.
