Whether you’re teaming up with a bunch of buddies or queuing up for some solo games, you’ll want to pick the very best Rogue Company characters. Make sure you use these five Rogues to help increase your ranked win rate.  

Rogue Company’s ranked mode offers players the chance to climb the competitive ladder. Just like most ranked modes, you’ll need a decent understanding of the game’s core mechanics, good map knowledge, and mastery of each rogue’s abilities. After all, you won’t get very far without using the best tips and tricks

While Rogue Company’s competitive mode offers the same gameplay, the overall skill level is much higher. To help you increase your eliminations and win rate, we’ve put together a list of the best rogues you should be using in ranked. These characters will give you the tools needed to gain that competitive edge, so be sure to check out our guide below before you queue up for that next ranked match. 

Saint

Saint abilities
Saint is the backbone of the best-ranked team comps.

This lifesaving medic tops out our Rogue Company character tier list as well, and it’s certainly not hard to see why as he possesses some of the few healing and remote revive abilities in the game.

His Revive Drone and passive allow him to effortlessly save any downed teammates on the map. Being able to rescue an ally without leaving cover is huge, particularly in high tiers of play where positioning is vital. If you’re tired of your teammates going down in the final rounds or wish to increase your squad’s survivability, then you can’t go wrong with Saint. 

Talon 

Talon abilities
Talon’s Radar Dart provides game-changing info on enemy locations.

Having excellent map awareness and knowing the exact position of your enemies will drastically increase your ranked win rate. As a result, Talon has the potential to be at the very top of the tier list. The infamous enforcer provides vast amounts of intel with his Radar Dart, exposing any nearby enemies on your radar. 

Once you have spotted any targets, you can convey this information to your team and begin setting up deadly ambushes. Talon excels at taking down his foes before they can even react. This effectively allows his team to aggressively push or defend the objective. While having a decent aim can give you the advantage in 1v1 fights, grabbing enemy intel is even more beneficial. 

Chaac

Chaac abilities
Chaac proves that you play solo and still be effective in ranked.

Solo queue ranked in Rogue Company can be a mixed bag at the best of times, but we’ve found that Chaac is a fantastic pick for those that truly wish to carry their team. A longstanding problem in Rogue Company has been the lack of team revives, with many players often choosing to not aid downed teammates, unless you’re lucky enough to have a Saint.

Fortunately, Chaac doesn’t need any help from his team. Should you get caught and enter the downed state, he can simply use his Stim Pack to get back on his feet.

If that wasn’t enough, his passive gives him increased health and grants him the ability to dodge roll when downed. This makes him incredibly difficult to kill, particularly when you pair him with the supportive heals from Saint.

Ronin

Ronin abilities
Ronin is one of the most versatile rogues in the current ranked meta.

Ronin is still one of the most popular duelists in the game and while she may not share the enhanced movement abilities of Lancer, she does bring a lot of versatility to any team. The meta has always favored rogues that can actively reveal enemy locations, so having a pick that can remain hidden from prying eyes is game-changing. 

Her Ballistic Knife can be used both offensively and defensively. When attacking, simply throw the knife towards grouped enemies to force them out of cover and into the open. Not only will this give you the opportunity to catch fleeing enemies, but it will also allow your team to aggressively flank around them.

Ronin’s explosive knife can also be planted behind common walkways and areas that see high player traffic. Unlike the other duelists in the game, her KA30 assault rifle deals great damage at mid to long-range firefights. This is huge as she can safely down enemies without the need to get into close-quarter firefights. 

Dallas

Dallas abilities
Ranked games are won and lost on enemy information alone, so Dallas is always a good pick.

Dallas has been tearing up the battlefield in Rogue Company since day one. This deadly rogue has the ability to reveal the closest enemy on the map, effectively recharging his Target Finder whenever he successfully downs an enemy.

While it may seem like a risk vs reward ability, his Devotion rifle allow you to easily poke down multiple foes. 

The additional 25 armor Dallas gets from the Headstrong perk also gives him a tremendous amount of survivability. In fact, killing this expert tracker can be incredibly difficult, especially when he knows your exact location. If you wish to actively hunt down your prey and send them reeling back to the spectator screen, then he is your man.
