The BR85 Service Rifle is a burst-fire battle rifle used by the United Nations Space Command.[1]
History
The BR85 was initially fielded late in the Human-Covenant War, though manufacturing concerns and logistical issues involved with its ammunition meant that it was not widely adopted until the war ended.[1]
Variants
BR85N Service Rifle
A variant of the BR85 featuring a smart-link open-topped holographic recon sight. Was extensively used by the UNSC in October, 2558.[1][2]
- Classic BR85N: Battle Rifle with Classic sight. Tactical configuration fitted with rugged combat optics preferred by veteran Spartans.
- Longshot BR85N: Battle Rifle with Longshot sight. Marksman configuration preferred by many Requiem veterans.
- Sentinel BR85N: Battle Rifle with Sentinel sight. Delta-Six special forces configuration with variable-zoom 4x/6x optics; optimized for long-range, pinpoint lethality.
- Hybrid BR85N: Battle Rifle with Hybrid sight. Sangheili Carbine holoscope technology merged with human industrial methods. This is a Joint Task Force Sierra configuration undergoing evaluation by the UNSC Ordnance Commission.
BR85N attachments
- Long Barrel: Increases range of bullet magnetism and aim assist.
- Laser Targeter: Increases weapon accuracy by reducing bullet spread.
- Silencer: Firing the weapon does not make the user show up on enemy radar. However, walking still gives away the user's position.
- Stabilization Jets: Helps control vertical recoil.
- Kinetic Bolts: Augments knockback and damage against vehicles.
- Energy Bayonet: Increases melee damage and range, allowing for a one-hit kill against normal opponents.
- Knight blade: Increases melee effectiness, with extra damage and knockback against vehicles.
- Extended Magazine: Increases both ready and reserve ammunition capacity by 50%.
- Threat Marker: Tracks targeted enemy personnel for a short time.
BR85 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle
- Main article: BR85HB battle rifle
A heavy-barreled version of the BR85 featuring a telescopic scope.[3]
Gameplay

Changes from BR85HB in Halo 4
- More open sight picture due to new open-topped reflex sight replacing the smart-linked telescopic sight
- Accuracy increased
- Shorter time between bursts and faster cyclic fire rate
Trivia
- Ironically, as with the M392 and M395 DMRs erroneously ejecting the signature shell casings of the Battle Rifle, the BR85N in Halo 5: Guardians now erroneously ejects what appear to be the M118 7.62x51mm shell casings of the DMR.

Notes
- ^ The tick marks on the BR85's smart-linked scope range between 100 and 950 meters. This presumably reflects the weapon's maximum effective range.
