Ranger

The  was one of the two unlocked classes in Tribes: Ascend. It was merged with Soldier in 0.1.742.0 patch.

Description
The  is one of the two initially unlocked classes in Tribes Ascend. The  engages enemies at longer range with their Assault Rifle, but primarily fights with their staple weapon, the Thumper DX. To clear out a room, the  can utilze their Anti-Personnel grenades. The  is also equip with the Energy Pack, which increases the energy restoration rate of the player. The  is designed to be a little more offensive than the Soldier, and while not quite as powerful in damage or health, is able to make short work of close range units with their signature Thumper. They are well suited to all fields of combat and tactics, but really shine in removing multiple infantry from a tight space with hit and run maneuvers.
