Was playing today, and noticed that the Ship Masters Sangheili Ranger build icon shows them carrying a Storm Rifle, not a Carbine.
Here is a screenshot of it on the wheel: Elite Rangers
Kinda makes sense since Sangheili Rangers sometimes use Storm Rifles in Halo 4 and 5 but… they never have in Halo Wars 2.
Not sure if it has always been this way, but now I cant unsee it…
You’re correct, that’s a storm rifle.

Wonder if its a relic from upgrades the rangers once had, or just an art mistake that never got caught.
I noticed it the other day as well. Not only that, but the Elite Enforcer is holding a Plasma Pistol backwards.

it wasnt like that always?
I thought that carbine looked weird…
Its left over from the first beta back in June of 2016, the in game model had a storm rifle that shot carbine projectiles. The same thing can be seen with the Brute Warlord, in the beta he had the armor that Atriox’s Chosen has now but still with the hammer and that can still be seen in the icon.
