The SRS99D-S2 AM is a powerful, semi-automatic sniper rifle chambered in the [[14.5×114mm|14.5×114mm cartridge]], generally firing APFSDS (armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding-sabot) ammunition. The weapon is effective out to 4,920ft (1,500 kilometres), and has the capacity to eliminate targets in a single shot. Recoil is not considered a significant issue when employing this weapon, and its high rate of fire and ergonomic reloading process mitigate the limited capacity of the 4-round detachable box magazines utilized with it.<ref name="ENC325"/> The optic mounted on the weapon is capable of x5 and x10 magnification, and displays a sighted target's distance and elevation.<ref name="H3">[[Halo 3]]'', gameplay''</ref>

In profile, the SRS99D-S2 AM bears clear resemblance to the [[SRS99C-S2 AM]], sharing its smooth and simplistic design. The weapon's finish is matte grey. The charging handle is located on the left side of the weapon, and expended casings are ejected on the right. The stock is solid, and not connected with the pistol group as in some SRC99C-S2 AM rifles. A metal guard projects out from the underside of the weapon, over where it is gripped for firing. As in the SRS99C-S2, a square carrying handle is located in front of and over the scope.<ref name="H3"/>
