The BR85HB Service Rifle is a gas-operated, magazine-fed battle rifle. A select-fire weapon, the BR85HB is optimized for firing three-round bursts, though it is capable of semi-automatic and fully automatic fire.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Artifact]]'' introductory cutscene</ref>{{Ref/Note|All official sources claim that the BR85HB is a "semi-automatic weapon optimized for three-round burst firing".

Like its predecessors, the BR85HB features a 2× magnification scope and receives a 36-round detachable box magazine. In the hands of a skilled marksman the weapon's precision and accuracy make it versatile at a variety of ranges.{{Ref/Reuse|Ides of March}}{{Ref/Reuse|O+A}} The BR85HB battle rifle features multiple design improvements on the BR55 and BR55HB [[battle rifles]].
