== Overview ==
The DMR has the same trigger-pulls to kill (5) as the [[BR85 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle|Battle Rifle]] but has a slightly faster kill time and longer range. This makes it much more desirable on larger maps with open sightlines. The DMR falls short of the [[Z-250 Directed Energy Engagement Weapon|Lightrifle's]] long range effectiveness, but is much more flexible at medium and close ranges. This makes the DMR one of the most utilitarian weapons in ''Halo 4''.
