Sulok-pattern beam rifle: Difference between revisions

Particle Beam Rifles are most often found on [[Jackal Sniper]]s, or in [[Covenant Weapons Holder]]s. In [[Halo 3]] they are rare on the lower difficulties.

When using the particle beam rifle, it should be remembered that it is a sniper weapon, and should be used at long ranges, to take out high priority targets, preferably with headshots. Due to it's weakness at close and medium quarters, it is advisable to  keep a good secondary weapon, such as the [[Covenant Carbine]] or a [[Battle Rifle]], in case an enemy moves too close to use the Beam Rifle effectively. Some prefer a Beam Rifle/[[Sniper Rifle]] combination for the extra ranged shots. Caution should be exercised, however, in the event of close quarters combat. Later on in the campaign of [[Halo 2]], it is wise to keep a good close quarters weapon because the PBR is not very effective against the [[The Flood|Flood]]. With enough practice however, it can take on the role of a mini-cannon at close range on other targets.
