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.


Class Info


Weapon of choice: Any long-ranged weapons, some swords and spears.

  • Pros
    • High ranged damage output, allowing them to threaten angles effectively and deal significant damage from the backline.
    • Able to set bear traps to lock down enemies in place.
    • Great room clearing and PvE ability without putting themselves at risk.
    • High movement speed and interaction speed, allowing them to pick their fights.
    • High burst healing with the Field Ration skill.
    • Able to track fresh enemy footprints via the Tracking perk, effectively nullifying Invisibility.
  • Cons
    • Limited ammo pool requiring frequent reloads, arrow management and the sacrifice of a non-insignificant amount of inventory space.
    • Very weak at close range, few melee weapon options and no special melee skills.
    • Low health pool with limited armour options.
    • Costly to play, as arrows, bolts and bear traps are essential to most Ranger playstyles.
    • Projectiles can be blocked by shields and dodged more easily than melee attacks.

You can equip an additional perk every 5 levels. Currently maxed out at Level 15, so a total of 4 perks can be equipped.
