However, in [[Warzone]], the weapon can only be acquired via the [[Requisition system|REQ system]]. To unlock the Sniper Rifle, the player must acquire a Sniper Rifle certification, an Uncommon REQ card that can be found randomly in all types of REQ packs. Upon receiving the certification, the player will also be given a number of Sniper Rifle REQ cards, and will begin to randomly receive more when opening future packs. Each of these cards can be redeemed in a Warzone match to spawn a Sniper Rifle, at the cost of {{Energy|6}}. Doing so will consume the card. Alternatively, the cards can be sold for {{RP|75}} each.{{Ref/Game|H5G|requisition system}}{{Ref/Game|H5G|REQ card|Detail=Sniper Rifle}}

====''Halo: Spartan Assault''====

In ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'', the Sniper Rifle can only be acquired via the [[loadout]] screen. It does not need to be unlocked, but costs {{XP|1,000}} to equip. Once equipped, you will spawn with the Sniper Rifle at the start of the level and every time you die, so long as you do not quit back to the menu. It is single use - that is, it will not carry over to the next level, nor will it be available next time you play the level on which you purchased it.{{Ref/Game|SA|loadout screen}}

====''Halo: Spartan Strike''====

''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]'' is similar to ''Spartan Assault''; the Sniper Rifle is unlocked by default, but costs {{XP|500}} to equip for a single play session. The Sniper Rifle will not carry over to subsequent missions, and you will no longer spawn with it on that mission after quitting to the menu or beating the level.{{Ref/Game|SS|loadout screen}}

However in ''Spartan Strike'', the Sniper Rifle also spawns in the campaign itself, exclusively on the final mission: [[Mission E-6: Hold the Line|E-6: Hold the Line]]. In total, four Sniper Rifles spawn on this mission, along with four [[Spartan Laser]]s and four [[Rocket Launcher]]s, the two other previously loadout-exclusive weapons.{{Ref/Level|SS|Mission E-6: Hold the Line|LevelLinkText=E-6: Hold the Line}}

{{Quote|All good things must come to and end. Improved Sniper Rifle with reduced recoil, but emphasis on faster rate-of-fire has slightly reduced damage|REQ description{{Ref/Game|Id=EotLCard|H5G|REQ card|Detail=End of the Line}}}}

End of the Line is a Rare REQ variant of the Sniper Rifle, featured in ''Halo 5: Guardians''. It boasts a faster rate of fire and significantly reduced recoil, but deals slightly less damage per shot - though it is still capable of killing an enemy player in two body shots or one headshot. Should the player have an End of the Line REQ card, the weapon can be acquired in [[Warzone]] via the REQ system for a cost of {{Energy|6}}, or alternatively the card can be sold for {{RP|100}}.{{Ref/Reuse|EotLCard}}

{{Quote|There's no going back. Advanced Sniper Rifle with extended magazine and heavy-duty cyberlink that prevents descope. Unfortunately, the weapon does have extra recoil to compensate for.|REQ description{{Ref/Game|Id=AoTCard|H5G|REQ card|Detail=Arrow of Time}}}}

Arrow of Time is an Ultra-Rare REQ variant of the Sniper Rifle in ''Halo 5: Guardians''. It features a larger magazine than the standard Sniper, with 6 shots instead of 4, and the player will not be [[descope]]d when shot whilst zoomed in with the weapon. However, it also has increased recoil compared to the normal Sniper Rifle. Its REQ card costs {{Energy|7}} to use in-game, or can be sold for {{RP|150}}.{{Ref/Reuse|AoTCard}}

====Nornfang====

{{Quote|A master-crafter instrument of death and destruction. Mythic Sniper Rifle firing high explosive armor piercing (APHE) rounds that increases overall damage. In addition, Linda's modifications ensure the Motion Tracker is visible even when using Zoom.|REQ description{{Ref/Game|Id=NornCard|H5G|REQ card|Detail=Nornfang}}}}

Nornfang is a Mythic, Legendary REQ variant of the Sniper Rifle in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', and is the personal sniper rifle of the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Linda-058]]. The weapon fires rounds that explode on impact, dealing damage to any nearby enemies, and instantly killing them if hit directly. Additionally, when scoped in, the motion sensor will not be hidden while using Nornfang. To balance this out, the player gains the [[Damage Boost]] visual effect when they equip the weapon, making them very easy to spot. Nornfang can be requisitioned in [[Warzone]] for {{Energy|7}}, provided the player has a spare Nornfang REQ card, or alternatively the card can be sold for {{RP|200}}.{{Ref/Reuse|NornCard}}

Nornfang also appears in ''Halo 5: Guardians''{{'}} campaign. It can be found abandoned in the troop bay of the [[ONI Acrisius]] on the level [[Unconfirmed]], and on the [[Blue Team]] missions in [[Cooperative play|co-op]], the player playing as Linda-058 will spawn with the weapon at the start of the level (but not upon respawning). However, in campaign, the weapon is significantly less powerful, retaining none of its bonus abilities from the multiplayer.{{Ref/Reuse|H5GCamp}}
