The '''Ranger harness''' is a [[Sangheili harness]] used by [[Sangheili Ranger|Sangheili Rangers]] and [[Sangheili Ranger Commander|Sangheili Ranger Commanders]].

During the the [[Taming of the Lekgolo]], an [[Unidentified Arbiter (Taming of the Lekgolo)|unidentified Arbiter]] was given a [[Arbiter body armor]] based on the Ranger armor of the time.<ref>'''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''', [[Terminal/Halo 2: Anniversary|Terminal 8]]</ref><ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/y7-JKjgllk/?taken-by=hmcc_arbiter '''Instagram''' - ''hmcc_arbiter - Ancient Ranger Harness'']</ref>

This version has a see-through EVA faceshield that the user can use to see. It also has full mobility in zero or low-gravity conditions, though can be used in planetside operations. This set is often fielded with an [[Covenant thruster pack]].  

Sangheili Rangers who use this set often go with a white color scheme, and Sangheili Ranger Commanders use a gold scheme. The Swords of Sanghelios use a maroon color scheme.

This version does not have a EVA faceshield, but has a helmet design closer to the Assault harness. It uses the main body design of the [[Sangheili combat harness]] but has two thruster packs on its pack.

===Storm harness based===

After spending several centuries creating parts for other Sangheili harnesses, [[Lodam Armory]] put together their efforts and made this variant based on its first fully in-house armor system, the [[Storm harness]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-fury-s-road '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder: Fury's Road'']</ref> Though this harness is also marginally heavier than the Storm harness it was based on.<ref name="h4guide">[[Halo_4_Interactive_Guide#Covenant|'''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''' ''- Enemy: Covenant: Elite Ranger'']]</ref>

This version is a lightly armored harness that has a mesh suit that shielding extends over. Boots on this are able to magnetically latch if necessary. This version also has forelimb and hind-limb thrust control to help keep the user from losing control of their body. The thruster packs that this suit uses are gravity mitigating.<ref name="h4guide"/> This armor is able to be used in space, radioactive sites, and other hazardous locations.<ref name="H4:EVG">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 46''</ref>

Its possible to unlock the Assault harness based with EVA faceshield to use in ''Halo Reach'' by achieving the [[Rank (Halo: Reach)|Sergeant]] rank.
