'''Binoculars''' are a magnifying device used by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. They are often equipped with a stand to keep the device steady.<ref name="h2">'''[[Halo 2]]'''</ref> 

== Use ==
Binoculars are generally used to observe the battlefield, gather information and locate enemies. [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] [[sniper-spotter team]]s have spotters with binoculars to observe and locate targets for the sniper.<ref name="h2"/> The UNSC binoculars have a digital display, which shows the temperature, as well as the distance to the target.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''' cinematic ''[[List of Halo Wars Cinematic Cutscenes|"Labcoats Meet Metal"]]''</ref>

The [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Covenant Army|ground forces]] use magnifying monoculars to observe the battlefield, filling a similar role as the binoculars.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 150''</ref>

== In-game ==
[[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|MJOLNIR Mk VI]] featured in ''[[Halo 2]]'' was the first armor to have magnification system in-game. The MJOLNIR armor's binocular system featured in ''[[Halo 3]]'' has the same radius as the one in ''[[Halo 2]]''. The only difference is that it is more detailed and that it shows distance to the target. The [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Combat Harness|Combat Harness]] also has a built-in magnification system. Otherwise similar to the MJOLNIR's binoculars, it has a slightly different visor shape.
