In ''[[Halo 4]]'' the rifle is essentially a mix between the [[BR85 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle|Battle Rifle]] and the [[M395 Designated Marksman Rifle|DMR]] in that it possesses the three-round burst of the BR while not scoped-in and the single-shot fire of the DMR when scoped in. While its burst-fire function isn't as potent as that of the Battle Rifle's, its semi-automatic fire is much more powerful than that of the DMR's, thus outclassing the two while zoomed in, especially from a distance with its higher 4× zoom magnification. However, it is slightly hindered by a slower firing rate compared to the two other weapons making it critical that the shots land and result in a headshot. While the time to kill of the unscoped mode is higher to both human weapons, the scoped mode has a lower time to kill. At the maximum red reticle range, the LightRifle can easily overpower a DMR or a BR. While it is not as suitable for close ranges, an extremely skilled user can utilize both firing modes to achieve a lower kill time than its human counterparts. | In ''[[Halo 4]]'' the rifle is essentially a mix between the [[BR85 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle|Battle Rifle]] and the [[M395 Designated Marksman Rifle|DMR]] in that it possesses the three-round burst of the BR while not scoped-in and the single-shot fire of the DMR when scoped in.

While unscoped, three shots are required to leave an opponent vulnerable to a single lethal melee. Two shots of the single fire mode are required to achieve the same effect. The magazine has two different displays in the HUD: 36 small rounds for unscoped mode, and 12 rounds for scoped. The maximum ammo one can carry is 36/108. | While unscoped, three shots are required to leave an opponent vulnerable to a single lethal melee.
