The Assault Rifle is a weapon featured in Halo 5: Guardians. As with all prior iterations of the weapon, the Assault Rifle is a fully-automatic loadout weapon that is commonly available in both campaign and multiplayer. The biggest changes from prior games are the inclusion of Smart Scope functionality, allowing the weapon to aim in for increased range and accuracy, and the addition of headshot multipliers—both new to Halo 5.
