The BR75 is the primary service rifle for all branches of the UNSC. Default fire mode is a three-round burst, which enforces some measure of fire discipline in choatic situations. The rifle is effective at all ranges.[4]

The BR75 Service Rifle[5] is a battle rifle used by the UNSC,[2] manufactured by Misriah Armory in Eos Chasma.[6]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

In appearance, the BR75 bears great similarity to the BR55 battle rifle. It features a scope with 2× magnification optics mounted on a rail set into its carry-handle and feeds from magazines of 36 rounds.[1] Some notable differences between the BR75 and its predecessor include an accessory rail mount on the left side of the handguard, and a new muzzle brake, though some variants feature a 2P flash hider which further increase similarities to the BR55. It is a highly versatile weapon, capable of engaging targets at a variety of ranges,[4] and is particularly suitable for mid-range and long-range engagements.[5][7]

The weapon's side contains a barcode which translates to details of the weapon's manufacturer, the Misriah Armory facility at Eos Chasma, Mars.[6] However, models that are equipped with the 2P flash hider were standard for units manufactured on Reach.[8] Korolev Heavy Industries also manufactured some attachments for the weapon as well.[9] The sides of the upper receiver contain a proof mark indicating the weapon's year of manufacture and a certification that the weapon is safe to fire with nitrocellulose-based gunpowder. In the case of the BR75s supplied to UNSC Infinity forces in 2560, the weapons have the proof code FI, which translates to a manufacture year of 2558.[6]

Usage[edit]

The BR75 was in service prior to 2552.[8] The rifle was used by First Lieutenant Maks Chapov during Blue Team's mission to Reach in 2559,[5] and continued to see use in 2560 during the Battle for Zeta Halo.[3]

Variants[edit]

  • BR75 Breacher: A modified variant of the BR75 with a reduced magazine size from 36 to 30 and reduce magnification from 2.5x to 1.5x, but improved stopping power and a higher rate of fire, for close-ranged encounters.[10]
  • BR75 DEVLOOP: A variant with custom built loadouts based on stock Misriah frames, designed originally to outfit premium security detail in sprawling industrial sectors.[11] It features a different muzzle brake, front handguard, carry handle, and chin guard.
  • BR75 HAZCON: A modified version of the BR75 with part of the barrel wrapped in a protective cover and the carry handle replaced. The barrel is extended, removing the muzzle device and the cheek-rest has been replaced.[12] It was the signature weapon of the UNSC Army's 48th Chemical Brigade and the Office of Naval Intelligence's Green Light Teams.[13]
  • BR75 [HCS] AKRIVEIA: Sport upgrade package for the BR75 designed for weight reduction and performance benchmarking.[14] It features a muzzle brake, upgraded front handguard, and carry handle.

BR75 attachments[edit]

In-game information[edit]

Three-round burst rifle, best utilized in mid-range engagements.[15][16]

The BR75 holds 36 rounds in its magazine, and 216 rounds in reserve. Highly effective at longer ranges compared to the MA40 assault rifle or Mk50 Sidekick, the weapon features burst-fire functionality, slight recoil that is non-progressive (meaning the weapon returns to its original position after recoil), and no bloom (the weapon doesn't lose accuracy immediately after firing).

Multiplayer[edit]

Kill Times
Type Damage TTK Combo
Head 600 (30%) 1.55s 11 body + 1 head (4 bursts)
Body 130 (1.5%) 2.40s 16 body (6 bursts)
Melee ? ? 2 bursts + Melee (BR75 Ranked only)
  • 130 (6.5% total) shield / body damage
  • 600 (30% total) headshot damage
  • 11 rounds will destroy the shield.
  • One head-shot or melee will then kill the target. Note that only a single head-shot (not a full burst) is required, allowing for a 3-burst kill.
  • Else, a further 5 body-bursts can be used instead (so six bursts in total).
  • Note that the BR75 (Ranked) variant will kill with two body-bursts and a single melee, like in other Halo games.[3] The ranked variant was introduced to compensate for an update that slightly reduced melee damage, to still allow players the melee combo.

Players are able to zoom in with a 2.5× magnification scope.[3] It should be noted that the in-game magnification in Halo Infinite is not quite the same as the canon magnification, which is actually 2x.
