The | The Lightrifle is a weapon used by Forerunner [[Promethean Knight]] units encountered on [[Requiem]]. It is a scoped, mid-range to long-range weapon that normally fires a three-shot burst and a powerful, concentrated semi-automatic shot when zoomed in.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le3BsM1tYR8 '''YouTube''': ''E3 2012: Halo 4 Interview'']</ref> It holds twelve shots per magazine and fires luminescent orange hardlight rounds.<ref name="demo"/> | ||

The rifle possesses an angular design and metallic casing. It appears to be held together, at least partly, by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process and floating sights. Orange markings and lights are present while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; there is also a column of orange energy that runs through the center of the weapon, possibly the "barrel". These highlights and the barrel grow brighter when the weapon is fired. The sight through the scope is tinted orange and is approximately a 3x zoom.<ref name="demo"/> | |||

The rifle is essentially a mix between the [[Battle Rifle]] and the [[DMR]] in that it possess the three-round burst of the BR when not scoped in and the single-shot fire of the DMR while scoped in. While its burst-fire function isn't as potent as that of the Battle Rifle's, its semi-automatic fire is more powerful than that of the DMR's. It outclasses both weapons while zoomed in, especially from distance. However, it is slightly hindered by a slower fire-rate compared to the other two, making it critical that the shots land and result in a headshot. | |||
