Variants

BR85N Service Rifle

A variant of the BR85 featuring a smart-link open-topped holographic sight. Was extensively used by the UNSC in October, 2558.[1][2]

BR85 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle

Main article: BR85HB battle rifle

A heavy-barreled version of the BR85 featuring a telescopic scope.[3]

Operational history

Initially fielded late in the Covenant War, manufacturing concerns and logistical issues involved with its ammunition meant the BR85 service rifle was not widely adopted until after the conflict ended.[1]

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.
