The BR85 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle (BR85HB SR)[1] is a semi-automatic service rifle employed by UNSC forces in the post-war era.

Overview

Design

The BR85 Service Rifle is a gas-operated, magazine-fed semi-automatic rifle.[1] It is optimized for three-round bursts, and proves to be effective against the energy shielding of many types of armor.

Gameplay

The BR85SR has a 2x scope. The weapon features hitscan, and lacks bloom. When fired, the barrel rises vertically, but in a suppressible way. It is useful for longer-range engagements.[1]

Trivia

  • This weapon displays the Misriah Armory logo on its stock.
  • In the development of Halo 4, the rifle is incorrectly labelled as the "BR55HB SR", as seem on the rifle's body.[2] It was most likely used as a placeholder.
