The [[UNSC]] type 20 3x scope Binoculars are used in combat to observe and retrieve data against the [[Covenant]] and other enemies. [[Spartan]]s have a slightly more powerful pair built into their visor to allow maximum balance in combat. The [[Master Chief]]'s Binoculars are a 3-4x scope set, able to locate enemies from over a mile away. The Binoculars range is like that of a [[Sniper Rifle]], only it does not reach 8x zoom.

The Binoculars range is most efficient when used in combat, as it is able to tell [[UNSC]] troops where enemies are located or hiding. In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], [[Master Chief]]'s [[Mark V]] armour did not have built in Binoculars to tell him were the enemies were. The only way he could see was with any weapon that zoomed in. In [[Halo 2]], the [[UNSC]] gave [[Master Chief]] new armour and built in a pair of Binoculars for the Chief. This proved to be VERY useful, as he needed to defend [[Earth]] from a lot of enemies. It is a feature in [[Halo 3]].
