Description

Rangers in Dark and Darker are wilderness experts, who use their knowledge of nature and keen senses to track down and eliminate their enemies. They are skilled hunters and trappers, able to set deadly traps and ambushes. Rangers are adept at ranged combat, relying on their skills of archery and markmanship to deal most of their damage. Bows and arrows, crossbows and bolts are the favoured weapons of the Ranger. They rely on swords for close range engagements, with the option to equip a spear as well.
