The weapon features hitscan and lacks reticule bloom. When fired, the barrel rises vertically, but in a suppressible way. The rifle's three-round burst is particularly effective for mid-range combat, as well as close- and long-range to a lesser extent, as the [[MA5D Individual Combat Weapon System|MA5D Assault Rifle]] and [[M395 Designated Marksman Rifle|M395 DMR]] outperform it at these ranges respectively. The player can carry a maximum of 216 rounds of reserve ammunition for the BR85, from a normal load of 108 rounds. If all the bullets in a 3-round burst (one shot) hit a player in matchmaking, it will take five shots to down a player provided the last shot hits the player as a headshot. Only one round from a burst to the head is required to kill an unshielded enemy. The BR85 seems to be weaker than the BR55/BR55HB in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3''. This is possibly a balance choice due to the inclusion of four precision weapons in ''Halo 4'' as opposed to the usual two (excluding sniper rifles). | The weapon features hitscan and lacks reticule bloom.
