Build Strategy

SMG Range Scaler

The Ranger has +50 Range and Ranged Damage modifications are increased by 50%. However, Max HP modifications are reduced by 25%. Using SMGs allows you to leverage the increased effectiveness of flat Ranged Damage. You must build HP aggressively to counter the penalty.

Crossbows scale with Range, but the 50% scaling is weaker than the flat damage scaling on SMGs.
