The BR85HB Service Rifle is a gas-operated, magazine-fed battle rifle. A select-fire weapon, the BR85HB is optimized for firing three-round bursts, though it is capable of semi-automatic and fully automatic fire.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Artifact]]'' introductory cutscene</ref><ref group="note">All official sources claim that the BR85HB is a "semi-automatic weapon optimized for three-round burst firing". This is a convoluted way of identifying the weapon as select-fire.</ref> The BR85HB is effective against most [[Covenant remnants|Covenant]] battle armor and the [[energy shielding]] of [[Sangheili combat harness]]es; it also proves effective against the shields and plating of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2 MJOLNIR armor]] during War Games exercises. Like its predecessors, the BR85HB features a 2x magnification scope and receives a 36-round detachable box magazine. In the hands of a skilled marksman the weapon's precision and accuracy make it versatile at a variety of ranges.<ref name="Ides of March"/><ref name="O+A"/> The BR85HB battle rifle features multiple design improvements on the [[BR55 battle rifle|BR55]] and [[BR55HB battle rifle|BR55HB]] [[battle rifles]] which were in service during the [[Human-Covenant War]].
