Ranger



Introduction
The Ranger is the fastest class around. He is able to scout the enemy base and scan for enemies using his radar. Also, he has a Laser Pointer to use the mortar. He is low on health and armour, and hasnt got much weapons. Luckily, his speed makes up for that.

Defence Capabilities
Not much, as he is weak and fast. He can catch a flagrunner tho, but he will probably get shot down since he is quite weak. He can use his caltrops to slow down the enemy as well.

Offence Capabilities
The Ranger is your ultimate forward recon device. With good teamworking, you can scout the enemy base, locate sentries and steal the flag while doing that. Because of his low health he doesnt live long, but if you manage to run outside the base, you are usually pretty save. Remember to throw caltrops!

Special Abilities / Tricks
Use his radar to get an early warning of enemies. Also, use his Flashbangs to immobilize enemies by blinding and making them unable to hear anything. Use your Concussion Grenades to screw their aim.

How does this class stand up to other classes?

  • Ranger : It's an even stand here. You better avoid him or killing them on sight, because they tend to chase you all over the place.
  • Marksman : When u are in a 1on1, you could take him out quite easily. Beware of his fraggrenades! When you only see his dot, jump around and dodge. You are usually to fast for him to track you.
  • Commando : Better run. This guy has shot you down in seconds. Your only hope is to hit him with a Concussion Grenade, so he has a hard time aiming at you.
  • Demolitionist : These guys are one of the worst to fight. Good ones dont really suffer from a conc, since they lob their grenades. Try flashbanging him, but the best advice is to run like hell.
  • Field Medic : He is quite equall to you, tho has has some nice features. He can throw fraggrenades, and he can heal himself. Better stay away.
  • Arsonist : Keep your distance, and shoot him down. He has a short rang weapon, so that shouldnt be hard. But better avoid him unless you have to face him.
  • Heavy Gunner : When you meat him, you are screwed. Better turn around and flee.
  • Saboteur : Nothing much special. Warn your team when you see one. Be sure he is an enemy Saboteur before you do tho. Remember that you cannot hear/see him shoot because of his silenced SMG.
  • Armourer : Though, so beware. When he is around, his sentry is usually too. His shotgun can do a lot of damage but won't reach far. Blind him and run along.
