==Summary==

The Beam Rifle, is an extraordinarily powerful weapon, capable of sniping enemies from long ranges. Like the human sniper, the Beam Rifle has two levels of zoom for greater and faster accuracy. As a [[Directed Energy Weapon]], it fires ionized particles, at its targets instead of accelerating small projectiles. It's also quieter, giving it an advantage over the [[UNSC]] [[Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel|

Sniper Rifle]] in terms of stealth and speed. In terms of longevity, however, the beam rifle is unable to reload and therefore has a limited number of shots before it must be discarded by the user for another weapon. The Beam Rifle can also be used to shoot two fast shots, at the cost of temporarily overheating. This can be used to quickly dispose of an oncoming enemy. It is also possible to kill two enemies with a single shot; however, unlikely, as the shot over penetrates the enemy on a headshot. Despite the overheating issues, the Beam Rifle is a better defense weapon than the Sniper Rifle because two shots can be fired in very quick succession, making it easier for the sniper to defend himself, useful in higher difficulties, (as long as the shots hit). The Beam rifle is mostly carried by jackal snipers, but will sometimes be carried by an Elite or Brute.
