The biggest advantage of the Ranger is the movement speed and the ability to inflict high ranged damage. When fighting the most demanding opponents, the best skills are Quick Fire and Quickshot. If you want to play safe, use Field Ration.

If you also have perks Nimble hands and Ranged Weapons Expert, your character can be very effective in battle. Add to this Kinesthesia and Sharpshooter and you become a powerful character. It is also worth considering whether you prefer to use a bow or crossbow and create a build based on one of these weapons. However, most players agree that bows are more effective.

Trap Expert (perk) and Multishot (skill) are also an interesting combination. Trapping opponents, approaching them and using Multishot at close range to make sure as many arrows reach them as possible can be deadly.

Unfortunately, the Ranger also has weaknesses, such as the fact that the class performs poorly in melee combat and has a small number of HP, so it can easily die if surrounded by enemies.
