Shinobi (LW2)

• Primary: Rifle, SMG (default) or Shotgun

The Shinobi is closest to the vanilla Ranger class. They are specialists in stealth and short range combat.

The Saboteur side of the tree focuses on stealth and infiltration, while the Kenshi side of the tree focuses on melee damage. The middle ground also has several talents to boost damage with guns.
