Halo 5: Guardians
The Retina of the Mind's Eye, just like the normal Binary Rifle, is an Ultra Rare Level 6 REQ that grants 150 REQ Points when sold. It operates exactly identically to the normal Binary Rifle, with the only real difference being its increased magazine size of four rounds for a maximum total of 16 rounds (4 active + 12 reserve). These extra rounds give the weapon's user more chances to land kills on enemies while still having the same base performance as the normal Binary Rifle and make the weapon a stronger competitor to the SRS99-S5 AM sniper rifle. It has the same overall range as a normal Binary Rifle: 38.10 m (125.00 ft) in hipfire, 152.40 m (500.00 ft) with 4× zoom, and 342.90 m (1,125.00 ft) with 9× zoom.
