Designer Notes
Ranger is one of the most heavily-armed and -armored Gears on the racing field, and you should use this to your advantage. The Light Autocannon is an excellent skirmishing weapon, and the attached underslung Light Grenade Launcher is excellent for attacks on close targets. The Light Rocket Pack is most useful for attacks on multiple targets: walking fire, in other words. Ranger is also equipped with a vibroblade and three hand grenades for close combat. Ranger's weaknesses are linked to her weapons array: her fire control systems, which are only average, are exposed and the mass of the weapons slow the arm actuator reaction. Hits on your fire control or weapons systems will be one step worse than normal. In addition, your speed is only average and your only reinforced system are the leg actuators. Your weapons are also primarily short range. Your best tactic might be to allow faster Gears to catch up with you, and rake their aft quarters with your heavier weapons as they pass. Damage them, and you may very well slow them down. Good luck!
