Arrow of Time is a specialised variant of the SRS99-S5 AM sniper rifle developed by Misriah Armory.[6]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
- Main article: SRS99-S5 AM sniper rifle
Outwardly, Arrow of Time bears few visual differences from the standard Series 5 sniper rifle; its most prominent change is a series of white, red-and-green stripes painted atop the body of the weapon alongside a decal of an eagle's head on the stock.[7] The weapon's performance characteristics are slightly different from the standard Series 5; the weapon has an extended magazine, increased recoil, but features a heavy-duty cyberlink on its Oracle-R scope that prevents the weapon from de-scoping when the operator is fired upon.[6]
Usage[edit]
In late 2558, Spartan-IVs serving aboard the UNSC Infinity trained with the Arrow of Time in War Games simulations.[7]
In-game information[edit]

Arrow of Time is an Ultra Rare 
energy Power Weapon REQ worth 
150 when sold. Its larger magazine allows the player to get more shots in before needing to reload, and its heavy-duty cyberlink also prevents descope upon any instance of damage, allowing the player to continue firing scoped-in even when under attack. However, the increased vertical recoil makes the weapon less useful for suppression fire.

Notes[edit]
- ^ The tick marks on the SRS99-S5 AM's smart-linked scope range between 0 and 2,300 meters. This presumably reflects the weapon's maximum effective range.
