{{Main|Sniper Rifle}}
{{:SRS99 series/Gameplay|In multiplayer, the SRS99 can be highly effective at close range in the hands of a skilled operator, as the highly damaging round is just as powerful at close range; a single round followed by a melee strike will kill a hostile almost instantly.|Rounds fired by the SRS99 leave a trail that could be traced back to the sniper's location.}}
The Sniper Rifle is a [[Precision weapon|precision]] [[power weapon]], which fires highly damaging projectiles at near instantaneous speeds. It features two levels of zoom, and a magazine of 4 rounds. This makes it a powerhouse at long ranges, capable of killing most enemies, including enemy players in multiplayer, with one headshot, and outranging other weapons like the [[Battle Rifle]] significantly. To compensate for its power, it is a relatively rare weapon, and ammo for it is difficult to find.
 
===Changes from the SRS99D-S2 AM in ''Halo 3''===
*Increased damage against vehicles, destroying them with four to six rounds.
*Has a thumbhole stock rather than a pistol grip.
*Updated colors.
*Scope is smaller.
*Can neutralize a Scorpion tank in two shots, one to destroy the canopy, and a headshot to kill the now-exposed driver.
 
===''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''===
In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' the original [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle]] is replaced with the SRS99's model. However, as the change is merely aesthetic it [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle#Gameplay|performs identically]] to its ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' counterpart.

*In the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the scope shows the identity of the weapon's user as "ID-[[SPARTAN-B312|NOBLE6]]", regardless of who wields it. This is not present in the final build.

*At the beginning of the [[campaign]] level ''[[Nightfall]]'', the player receives fifty rounds instead of the default maximum of twenty. This is a tribute to the level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]'' from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', in which the player begins with a larger-than-normal number of sniper rifle rounds.
