| The '''Sniper Rifle''', sometimes shortened to just '''Sniper''' or '''Snipes''', and known in ''Halo Infinite'' as the '''S7 Sniper''', is a [[human]] [[Precision weapon|precision]] [[power weapon]] featured in all major ''Halo'' games, starting with ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. It is a long-range weapon which typically has two levels of scope, and is best used to pick off enemies at a great distance. The Sniper deals a large amount of damage per shot, but has a slow rate of fire and usually only carries four shots per magazine.

| ==Overview== | | {{Col-5}} |
| The Sniper Rifle is a powerful precision weapon, featured in every notable ''Halo'' game since the series' inception in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. Typically dark grey or black in color, the weapon features one of the longest barrels of any weapon, as well as a large boxy scope and a prominent stock, making it very easy to identify. It is capable of killing enemy players in as little as one or two shots depending upon accuracy, and deals a large amount of damage. To compensate for this, it has a slow rate of fire compared to most weapons, usually only carries four shots per magazine, and is very rare.

| ===Disadvantages===
| | {{Col-5}} |
| *Has a slow fire rate
| |
| *Often difficult to aim, particularly at short ranges and when using a controller rather than mouse and keyboard
| |
| **In earlier games, it even lacks aim-assist when hip-fired
| |
| *Ammo is very rare
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Tactics and strategies=== | | ===Flood=== |
| *Save ammo where possible, as it is very rare
| | Infection Form<br> |
| **In campaign, prioritise more difficult enemies like [[Brute Chieftain|Chieftains]] or [[Hunter]]s with the Sniper, while using a more common weapon on easier enemies such as [[Grunt]]s and [[Jackal]]s
| | Combat Form<br> |
| **In multiplayer, if you have a mid-range weapon such as a [[Battle Rifle]] in reserve, and you hit an enemy with the Sniper but do not kill them, switch to the Battle Rifle to finish them with a headshot rather than waste a second Sniper bullet
| | Elite Combat Form<br> |

| ===Counterparts=== | | {{Col-4}} |
| The most prominent counterpart to the Sniper Rifle is the [[Covenant]]'s [[Beam Rifle]], a long-range weapon with two levels of zoom, which is similar in operation to the Sniper Rifle. The Beam Rifle was first introduced in ''Halo 2'', but has reappeared in several games since. It fires a beam of light with a practically instant travel time, which behaves similarly to a Sniper Rifle bullet; a hit to the body will remove an opponent's shields, whereas a headshot will instantly kill them. Unlike the Sniper, however, the Beam Rifle uses a battery system for its ammo, typically with ten shots in total, and the weapon cannot be reloaded. In most games, the weapon will overheat after two or three shots in rapid succession.

|
| Another Covenant counterpart to the Sniper Rifle is the [[Focus Rifle]], first introduced in ''Halo: Reach''. Unlike the Sniper Rifle and Beam Rifle, the Focus Rifle fires a continuous beam not unlike that of the [[Sentinel Beam]], which deals heavy damage to enemy units, but will overheat if fired continuously for too long. However, the Focus Rifle takes longer to kill enemies than the Sniper Rifle does, and the brightly colored beam will expose the location of the player. Like the Beam Rifle, the Focus Rifle uses a battery ammo system, and cannot be reloaded. It also has two zoom levels, similar to the Sniper and Beam Rifle.

| The [[Forerunner]] counterpart to the Sniper Rifle is known as the [[Binary Rifle]]. This rifle operates using a similar ammunition system as the Sniper Rifle, albeit with two shots per magazine rather than four. It features two levels of zoom, just as the Sniper does, however with one major difference: whilst zoomed, a distinct red targeting laser will shine out from the barrel - even before the weapon is fired - which will alert enemies to the fact they're being targeted, and will also highlight the user's location. The projectile fired by the Binary Rifle varies by game. In ''Halo 4'', it fires a bolt of light that travels instantaneously and will always immediately kill an enemy player regardless of where it hits them. In ''Halo 5: Guardians'', it fires a continuous beam for a brief period of time, which deals very heavy damage and can easily kill an enemy player if held on them for long enough - though the strong recoil can make this difficult.

| The SRS99C-S2 sniper rifle is extremely powerful, but with a small combat load, it is not good practice to use this weapon against weaker enemies (i.e. Grunts, Drones). However, the sniper rifle's penetration capabilities and superb, long range accuracy makes it excellent for killing higher ranking enemies at long range, which, in turn, disorganizes and demoralizes the enemy troops, making combat against a large ground force much easier.

|
| ===Campaign=== | | ===Launcher=== |
| *Take cover behind any rock or building (if any). Easily take aim and make sure you fire before the hostile sees you. Also stick to high ground (if any). Do not waste rounds on minor threats like Grunts or shield-bearing Jackals since ammo is usually scarce and you can kill them easily with other weapons too. Even from a distance, the pistol can usually take care of them in one headshot.
| | Rocket Launcher<br> |
| *A good setup in Covenant levels is to take sniper rifle for longer range and difficult foes, such as Elites. A secondary weapon can be anything you feel good to take out minor foes like Jackals and Grunts. The [[M6D magnum]] is an excellent secondary weapon, because of the accuracy, stopping power and zoom function. This pistol negates the need of sniper rifle for short range combat, thus saving its scarce ammo, so you can use it against Zealots, Ultras, Major Elites, etc.
| | Fuel Rod Gun / Fuel Rod Cannon<br> |
| *In Flood levels, the sniper rifle should be ignored, as the rounds pass through combat and carrier forms, doing little to no damage at all. However, in levels that include both enemies (Covenant and Flood units), one could bring the sniper rifle for Covenant enemies and the [[M90 shotgun]] (or other weapon that the player feels good to use against flood), to maximize damage against both foes.
| | Plasma Launcher<br> |
| *The sniper rifle is more than capable of killing in one or two shots on its own. One headshot from either weapon can kill an unshielded enemy (more shots from the pistol may be required for higher-ranking enemies, but its higher rate of fire and more plentiful ammo compensate for this).

| ===Multiplayer=== | | ===Multiplayer=== |
| *In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', effective use of the sniper rifle in multiplayer takes a lot of practice. It is necessary to aim in front of a target to accommodate for server lag, how far one should aim in front depends on their angle onto the target and the amount of lag in the server. Targets are shot easiest when they are head on, moving directly toward you.
| | Flag<br> |
| *A head-shot will kill an enemy outright, regardless of shield. Night vision is best used in dark areas (obviously) but is useless in maps that have high color contrast. Good secondary weapons include the [[M6D Pistol]] which can, when shot accurately, dispose of an enemy in 3 shots regardless of shield. Its 2× zoom make it the perfect partner for the '''SRS99C-S2 AM'''.
| | Skull<br> |
| *Use natural formations and buildings to snipe from, but move constantly and erratically (including jumping and crouching) to lower the effectiveness of counter-sniping. The fact that 14.5×114mm rounds leave a smoky trail is the weapons largest downside (apart from the small magazine capacity) it exposes one's position and alerts the enemy easily; constant position changing is advised to confuse the enemy. Find something to hide behind while you reload, and reload when not in a firefight. Good snipers cover teammates and kill anyone who is chasing the person on your team with the [[flag]] (note: this is only for CTF).

| The SRS99C-S2 sniper rifle is extremely powerful, but with a small combat load, it is not good practice to use this weapon against weaker enemies (i.e. Grunts, Drones). However, the sniper rifle's penetration capabilities and superb, long range accuracy makes it excellent for killing higher ranking enemies at long range, which, in turn, disorganizes and demoralizes the enemy troops, making combat against a large ground force much easier.

| ===Campaign=== | | ===Edits=== |
| *Take cover behind any rock or building (if any). Easily take aim and make sure you fire before the hostile sees you. Also stick to high ground (if any). Do not waste rounds on minor threats like Grunts or shield-bearing Jackals since ammo is usually scarce and you can kill them easily with other weapons too. Even from a distance, the pistol can usually take care of them in one headshot.
| | [[Armor mods]]<br> |
| *A good setup in Covenant levels is to take sniper rifle for longer range and difficult foes, such as Elites. A secondary weapon can be anything you feel good to take out minor foes like Jackals and Grunts. The [[M6D magnum]] is an excellent secondary weapon, because of the accuracy, stopping power and zoom function. This pistol negates the need of sniper rifle for short range combat, thus saving its scarce ammo, so you can use it against Zealots, Ultras, Major Elites, etc.
| | [[Blue Team (disambiguation)]]<br> |
| *In Flood levels, the sniper rifle should be ignored, as the rounds pass through combat and carrier forms, doing little to no damage at all. However, in levels that include both enemies (Covenant and Flood units), one could bring the sniper rifle for Covenant enemies and the [[M90 shotgun]] (or other weapon that the player feels good to use against flood), to maximize damage against both foes.
| | [[Digsite]]<br> |
| *The sniper rifle is more than capable of killing in one or two shots on its own. One headshot from either weapon can kill an unshielded enemy (more shots from the pistol may be required for higher-ranking enemies, but its higher rate of fire and more plentiful ammo compensate for this).

| ===Multiplayer===
| | {{Col-5}} |
| *In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', effective use of the sniper rifle in multiplayer takes a lot of practice. It is necessary to aim in front of a target to accommodate for server lag, how far one should aim in front depends on their angle onto the target and the amount of lag in the server. Targets are shot easiest when they are head on, moving directly toward you.
| |
| *A head-shot will kill an enemy outright, regardless of shield. Night vision is best used in dark areas (obviously) but is useless in maps that have high color contrast. Good secondary weapons include the [[M6D Pistol]] which can, when shot accurately, dispose of an enemy in 3 shots regardless of shield. Its 2× zoom make it the perfect partner for the '''SRS99C-S2 AM'''.
| |
| *Use natural formations and buildings to snipe from, but move constantly and erratically (including jumping and crouching) to lower the effectiveness of counter-sniping. The fact that 14.5×114mm rounds leave a smoky trail is the weapons largest downside (apart from the small magazine capacity) it exposes one's position and alerts the enemy easily; constant position changing is advised to confuse the enemy. Find something to hide behind while you reload, and reload when not in a firefight. Good snipers cover teammates and kill anyone who is chasing the person on your team with the [[flag]] (note: this is only for CTF).

| ===Multiplayer===
| |
| *If an enemy will be very difficult to snipe, don't waste a round on them. Wait until they're an easier target, or just switch your attention to another target.
| |
| *Have a sniper set their sights on the enemy base in a CTF match, as they can take out enemy snipers and other defenders. That way, their team mates can swoop in and grab the flag.
| |
| *If you can get a couple of players to cooperate, you can get to hard to access areas on maps like Valhalla, Longshore and Last Resort and snipe without worry that close range weapons like the shotgun flush you out.
| |
| *The Sniper Rifle shot can be used in close combat as a shield remover, followed by a [[melee]] which will kill your opponent.
| |
| *Always take your shots carefully with the sniper rifle. If you are unable to perform headshots, always aim for the body. The key to sniping is simply getting the kill and not wasting ammunition, not getting a headshot every time. A two-shot enemy is still a dead enemy.
| |
| *Always carry a secondary close ranged weapon such as an Assault Rifle or SMG. Even more preferable are a shotgun or a Battle Rifle.
| |
| *When playing Team Snipers, take your shot and then move elsewhere, so your location is not given away. This is also useful in standard multiplayer.

| ===Advantages===
| |
| The SRS99 series is designed to be used at medium to long ranges and is equipped with an electronic scope for precisely this purpose. It is tremendously useful in its designated role, considering its extraordinary range, which surpasses any other weapon of comparable size, and its incredible stopping power even against body armor and Covenant shielding system.
| |
| | |
| {{{1|By far, one of its most useful applications is taking out higher-ranking targets from long range to destabilize their squad's discipline and morale. A headshot will kill any Covenant infantry except a high-ranking [[Sangheili|Elite]] or [[Jiralhanae|Brute]]. [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]] fall from two shots to their unarmored torso or neck. This does not account for [[The Flood]], however, due to their morphology. The Flood can, however, be rendered harmless by removing their limbs or by placing a round into the embedded infection form. In multiplayer, the SRS99 series can be highly effective at close range in the hands of a skilled operator, as the highly damaging round is just as powerful at close range; a single round followed by a melee strike will kill a hostile almost instantly.}}}
| |
| | |
| ===Disadvantages===
| |
| The rifle's projectile has a slight travel time at great distances, and requires practice to use effectively at range. When used in close quarters, its precision nature, slow reload time, small magazine capacity, heavy recoil, and slow rate-of-fire leave precious little room for error. A small combat load and the relative scarcity of ammunition available for the weapon also make it bad practice to expend ammunition on smaller, less threatening combatants, such as [[Unggoy|Grunts]]. {{{2|The SRS99 series is also largely ineffective against most Flood forms, due to their body organization; damage done by the SRS99 series/Gameplay is minimal to the Flood forms due to their biological constitution and would only cause the Flood form to flinch for a moment. It is often recommended for operators to simply switch to other weapons should they encounter a Flood form.
| |
| | |
| As in all previous games, rounds fired by the SRS99 series leave a trail that could be traced back to the sniper's location. When using the scope, the glare from the reflection will be visible to the enemy and may alert them to your presence. The rifle is ineffective against even light-skinned and unarmored vehicles unless a shot can be taken on the vehicle's occupants, except for [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraiths]].}}}

| ===Changes from ''Halo 3'' and ''ODST'' to ''Halo: Reach''===

| === [[Campaign]] and [[Spartan Ops]] ===
| |
| * In the Campaign, the Sniper Rifle is first obtained in [[Requiem (level)|Requiem]]. It appears again in [[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]].
| |
| * The Sniper Rifle's usage against the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] and [[Promethean]]s in ''Halo 4'' differs very little from its utilization in previous games. It is still the best weapon to take out enemies from far beyond retaliation range. Its power, however, has been significantly reduced. Even on [[Normal]] difficulty, a low-ranking [[Sangheili|Elite]] will survive a headshot from the weapon, unlike previous titles where one would instantly kill it straight through the shield. On Legendary, it can take an entire magazine.
| |
| * Don't waste sniper ammo on small targets (with, perhaps, the obvious exception of [[Kig-Yar Sniper|Jackal]] and [[Crawler Snipe]]rs). The Sniper in ''Halo 4'' only has a reserve of 16 rounds of ammunition, meaning you will run dry very quickly against the hordes of foes you face with it. Save your shots for Elites and [[Promethean Knight|Knights]], using other precision or even automatic weaponry to eliminate the lower foes.
| |
| * Relatedly, don't get too attached to your rifle. Unlike other games where upon you could carry a Sniper throughout the entire level, you will have to discard it eventually. With the low ammunition count, and the infrequency of the weapon's appearances, you will most likely run out of ammunition quickly, and reloads are unlikely to be found. Thankfully, the Rifle usually appears on levels where you can find the Covenant and Promethean equivalents ([[Zubo-pattern beam rifle|Beam]] and [[Z-750 binary rifle|Binary Rifles]] respectively), so finding a replacement weapon to reach out and touch someone is not a supreme difficulty.
| |
| * If at all possible, reload when there is only one round left in the magazine. The empty reload for the rifle is a lengthy one, and while the sound of the player's character loading a new round into the chamber with a metallic rasp worthy of a blast door opening, its not the best thing to be forced to do when under fire from multiple enemies. Pace your shots, fire three, and then reload.
| |
| {{Expand-section}}
| |
| | |
| === [[Multiplayer]] ===
| |
| * Once more, the Sniper Rifle's usage against multiplayer opponents has changed very little; it is still the go-to weapon to stop people halfway across the map (or further on the larger ones) from getting in your face.
| |
| * The majority of the tips from Campaign apply to multiplayer, most especially the one regarding ammo. Normally a sniper rifle spawns with two extra magazines (8 rounds in reserve plus the four in the rifle itself), which, as any experienced sniper will tell you, go by incredibly fast. As soon as you run out of shots, grab any other weapon. Even a plasma pistol is more effective against an opponent than an empty sniper rifle.
| |
| * Keep a low profile; human opponents are much more observant than AIs, meaning that if they see you (even from halfway across the map) they WILL engage you. Take cover and pick off targets of oppertunity.

| === Campaign ===
| |
| * The SRS99-S5 AM is only featured in the following missions: ''[[Osiris (level)|Osiris]]'' (via the [[Flaming knives on Osiris]] easter egg only), ''[[Glassed]]'', ''[[Unconfirmed]]'', ''[[Evacuation]]'', ''[[Genesis (level)|Genesis]]'', and ''[[Guardians]]''.
| |
| * The [[Nornfang]] variant of the SRS99-S5 AM is the preferred starting weapon of [[Linda-058]]. [[Cooperative play|Co-op]] is the only way that the Spartans of [[Blue Team]] can access the SRS99-S5 AM in gameplay; in this case, if the player playing as Linda drops her Nornfang.
| |
| * The SRS99-S5 AM is not very powerful against most enemies on higher difficulties and is ineffective against Elites with the [[Halo 5: Guardians skulls#Tilt|Tilt]] skull on. Ammo for it is scarce and other weapons like the Beam and Binary Rifles perform better. On lower difficulties, however, it becomes an invaluable tool. Be sure to take full advantage of it.
| |
| | |
| === Multiplayer ===
| |
| * In Warzone, the SRS99-S5 AM is a powerful tool. With the long sight lines on each [[Warzone]] map, a properly-placed sniper can obtain some impressive kill streaks and help their team immensely. It comes with three extra variants that further increase its lethality.
| |
| ** '''''[[End of the Line]]''''', which reduces the recoil and increases the firing rate with a tradeoff of a slightly lower damage output, making it easier to fire a second finishing shot if the first shot doesn't kill the enemy.
| |
| ** '''''[[Arrow of Time]]''''', which has two extra rounds in its magazine and has no descope but with stronger vertical recoil. The stronger vertical recoil makes missed shots more punishing, but the extra rounds and lack of descope can prove useful in very heated situations.
| |
| ** '''''Nornfang''''', which comes with a built-in damage boost and high-explosive ammunition that is capable of one-shotting any Spartan anywhere on the body as long as they don't have an [[Overshield]] or Enhanced Shield armor mod. While it may be tempting to do so, it is inadvisable to use it against bosses; their health pools are simply too large for using the Nornfang on them to be worth it. Instead, focus on the enemies attempting to take out the boss; a sniper with a good eye and a full weapon can turn the tide of a Legendary fight in their teams favor.
| |
| * The Sniper is a power weapon on several maps, and controlling it is an essential part of any winning strategy. On many of the larger, more open maps (Viking and Basin for example), a good Sniper can decimate entire enemy teams and shut down objective runs with ease.

| |
| | |
| However, in [[Warzone]], the weapon can only be acquired via the [[Requisition system|REQ system]]. To unlock the Sniper Rifle, the player must acquire a Sniper Rifle certification, an Uncommon REQ card that can be found randomly in any REQ pack that can contain Uncommon cards. Upon receiving the certification, the player will also be given a number of Sniper Rifle REQ cards, and will begin to randomly receive more when opening future packs. Each of these cards can be redeemed in a Warzone match to spawn a Sniper Rifle, at the cost of {{Energy|6}}. Doing so will consume the card. Alternatively, the cards can be sold for {{RP|75}} each.{{Ref/Game|H5G|requisition system}}{{Ref/Game|H5G|REQ card|Detail=Sniper Rifle}}

| |
| Nornfang is a Mythic, Legendary REQ variant of the Sniper Rifle in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', and is the personal sniper rifle of the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Linda-058]]. The weapon fires rounds that explode on impact, dealing damage to any nearby enemies, and instantly killing them if hit directly. Additionally, when scoped in, the motion sensor will not be hidden while using Nornfang. To balance this out, the player gains the [[Damage Boost]] visual effect when they equip the weapon, making them very easy to spot. Nornfang can be requisitioned in [[Warzone]] for {{Energy|7}}, provided the player has a spare Nornfang REQ card, or alternatively the card can be sold for {{RP|200}}.{{Ref/Reuse|NornCard}}

| Nornfang also appears in ''Halo 5: Guardians''{{'}} campaign. It can be found abandoned in the troop bay of the [[ONI Acrisius]] on the level [[Unconfirmed]], and on the [[Blue Team]] missions in [[Cooperative play|co-op]], the player playing as Linda-058 will spawn with the weapon at the start of the level (but not upon respawning).

The Flexfire can fire much more rapidly, at the cost of reduced damage and much greater bullet spread. It also only has one zoom magnification level, unlike the standard S7 Sniper. The variant is decorated in a yellow and white colour scheme, to distinguish it from the standard model.{{Ref/Game|HI|weapon|S7 Flexfire Sniper}}

| ===Unlock and acquisition requirements===
| |
| ====''Halo: Spartan Assault''====
| |
| In ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'', the Sniper Rifle can only be acquired via the [[loadout]] screen. It does not need to be unlocked, but costs {{CR|25}} or {{XP|500}} to equip. Once equipped, you will spawn with the Sniper Rifle at the start of the level and every time you die, so long as you do not quit back to the menu. It is single use - that is, it will not carry over to the next level, nor will it be available next time you play the level on which you purchased it.{{Ref/Game|SA|loadout screen}}
| |
| | |
| '''Cost:''' {{CR|25}} / {{XP|500}}
| |
| | |
| ====''Halo: Spartan Strike''====
| |
| ''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]'' is similar to ''Spartan Assault''; the Sniper Rifle is unlocked by default, but costs {{XP|500}} to equip for a single play session. The Sniper Rifle will not carry over to subsequent missions, and you will no longer spawn with it on that mission after quitting to the menu or beating the level.{{Ref/Game|SS|loadout screen}}
| |
| | |
| '''Cost:''' {{XP|500}}
| |
| | |
| However in ''Spartan Strike'', the Sniper Rifle also spawns in the campaign itself, exclusively on the final mission: [[Mission E-6: Hold the Line|E-6: Hold the Line]]. In total, four Sniper Rifles spawn on this mission, along with four [[Spartan Laser]]s and four [[Rocket Launcher]]s, the two other previously loadout-exclusive weapons.{{Ref/Level|SS|Mission E-6: Hold the Line|LevelLinkText=E-6: Hold the Line}}

| ==Production notes==
| |
| {{Quote|[[Robert McLees]] is definitely the go-to guy for the gun stuff. I wanted to come up with an animation for the sniper scope, an 'idle cycle'. If you activate the scope, and then sit too long without doing anything, the animation would kick in periodically, just to keep things interesting... Simple, right...? He replied, 'No way. If you adjust your scope in the field, you're dead. Snipers don't do that.' That's how detailed his weapon designs are -- not just guns, but how they work, and how a sniper would fire them. Amazing.|Animator [[William O'Brien]], regarding the Robert McLees and his weapon designs for ''Halo 2''.{{Ref/Book|Id=McLeesAnimation|The Art of Halo: Creating a Virtual World|Page=100}}}}
| |
| The earlier games' depictions of the Sniper Rifle, notably those from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', ''Halo 2'', ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'', bear significant resemblance to and were likely inspired by the real-world [[Wikipedia:Denel NTW-20|Denel NTW-20]], an anti-material rifle developed in the 1990s by Denel Mechem.
| |
| | |
| [[Robert McLees]] was known within [[Bungie]] for being the expert to consult when doing work related to the games' weapons during ''Halo 2''{{'}}s development. At one point, animator [[William O'Brien]] sought to create an idle animation for the Sniper Rifle, in which the player character would adjust the scope if the player zooms in and then remains idle for a while. McLees shot down this idea, claiming that in reality, no sniper would ever adjust their scope on the field.{{Ref/Reuse|McLeesAnimation}}

| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In the original [[Xbox 360]] version of ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'' the Sniper Rifle's [[reticle]] is far larger than it is in the original ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' on [[Xbox]] and PC. In the ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' version of ''Halo: CEA'', the reticle returns to its original size.
| |
| *In the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the scope shows the identity of the weapon's user as "ID-[[SPARTAN-B312|NOBLE6]]", regardless of who wields it. This is not present in the final build.
