|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Headshot Damage | 46 | 48 | 51 | 54 | 56 | 58 |
| Bodyshot Damage | 31 | 32 | 34 | 36 | 37 | 39 |

Despite having the highest headshot damage among Assault Rifles, the Ranger Assault Rifle is less reliable due to its lack of a scope and significant kickback. Players might prefer the more controlled and faster-firing Holo Twister.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Headshot Damage | 105 | 110 | 110 | 115 | 120 | 135 |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Headshot Damage | 100 | 105 | 110 | 115 | 120 | 125 |

| Magazine Size | 12 |
| Fire Rate | 15 |

| Bodyshot Damage | 91 | 96 | 100 |
