History

The BR85 was initially fielded late in the Human-Covenant War, though manufacturing concerns and logistical issues involved with its ammunition meant that it was not widely adopted until the war ended.[1]

Variants

BR85N Service Rifle

A variant of the BR85 featuring a smart-link open-topped holographic recon sight. Was extensively used by the UNSC in October, 2558.[1][2]

  • Classic BR85N: Battle Rifle with Classic Sight. Tactical configuration fitted with rugged combat optics preferred by veteran Spartans.
  • Longshot BR85N: Battle Rifle with Longshot Sight. Marksman configuration preferred by many Requiem veterans.
  • Sentinel BR85N: Battle Rifle with Sentinel Sight. Delta-Six special forces configuration with variable-zoom 4x/6x optics; optimized for long-range, pinpoint lethality.
  • Hybrid BR85N: Battle Rifle with Hybrid Sight. Sangheili Carbine holoscope technology merged with human industrial methods. This is a Joint Task Force Sierra configuration undergoing evaluation by the UNSC Ordnance Commission.

BR85N attachments

  • Long Barrel: Increases range of bullet magnetism and aim assist.
  • Laser Targeter: Increases weapon accuracy by reducing bullet spread.
  • Silencer: Firing the weapon does not make the user show up on enemy radar. However, walking still gives away the user's position.
  • Stabilization Jets: Helps control vertical recoil.
  • Kinetic Bolts: Augments knockback and damage against vehicles.
  • Energy Bayonet: Increases melee damage and range, allowing for a one-hit kill against normal opponents.
  • Knight blade: Increases melee effectiness, with extra damage and knockback against vehicles.
  • Extended Mags: Increases both ready and reserve ammunition capacity by 50%.
  • Threat Marker: Tracks targeted enemy personnel for a short time.

BR85 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle

Main article: BR85HB battle rifle

A heavy-barreled version of the BR85 featuring a telescopic scope.[3]

Changes from BR85HB in Halo 4

  • More open sight picture due to new open-topped reflex sight replacing the smart-linked telescopic sight
  • Accuracy increased
  • Shorter time between bursts and faster cyclic fire rate

Trivia

  • Ironically, as with the M392 and M395 DMRs erroneously ejecting the signature shell casings of the Battle Rifle, the BR85N in Halo 5: Guardians now erroneously ejects what appear to be the M118 7.62x51mm shell casings of the DMR.

Notes

  1. ^ The tick marks on the BR85's smart-linked scope range between 100 and 950 meters. This presumably reflects the weapon's maximum effective range.
