All Rangers will do both direct fire and overwatch, often in the same turn. The most important overwatch perk, improving reaction shot's aim and allowing them to crit. Situational, but just the situation that will arise often and when more damage is needed.Ĭool Under Pressure improves the Ranger in overwatch. Hybrid would take Cool Under Pressure to get the aim bonus and OW crits.Īggression increases the chance the Ranger will crit when facing more enemy. Good, but primary weapon crits are likely more important. Both Barrels twice in a battle or Point Blank 4 times. Gives the Ranger two more rounds for the Sawed-off Shotgun. Pump Action improves the Ranger at close range. I could see an argument for selecting either. Covering Fire is a strong overwatch perk that can help against MECs, but only in an OW build. Locked On is powerful to make successive shots hit and crit more often. I prefer the direct fire power of Walk Fire on the Ranger. Ever Vigilant is for a full overwatch build. Can reload and Walk Fire every turn.Ĭlose and Personal makes the Ranger stronger at close range, but with the Sawed-off Shotgun Rangers are already strong at short range. With at least 3 ammo at the start of a turn, can take a standard shot followed by a Walk Fire. Useful to remove enemy's overwatch or suppression and to wear down and finish enemy in high cover. Use two ammo for +30 aim but also -30 crit and half damage. The Ranger's answer to the Gunner's Hail of Bullets, but usable every turn from the start. Walk Fire - Locked On - Cool Under Pressure - Executioner - Implacable - Rapid Fire - Kill Zone Walk Fire - Locked On - Aggression - Executioner - Bring 'Em On - Rapid Fire - Combat Fitness Still considering.ĮDIT2: Putting up both a crit and a hybrid build.

Also reconsidering and moving away from the Hybrid Ranger and to a more Crit Ranger. Would run with a Rifle with the best Scope or Laser Sight, Expanded Magazine, and one of Auto Loader and Hair Trigger, depending on how much I want to improve overwatch fire.ĮDIT1: I play with Commander's Choice and the GTS giving me power to control what soldier class a Rookie becomes.

I'm trying to narrow down to 1 Ranger build, but some of the later perk picks I'm not sure of.
