The [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] Beam Rifle is the other main sniping weapon. Beam Rifles are roughly as powerful as Sniper Rifles. (They are slightly more powerful, being able to kill [[Sentinels]] on [[Isolation (Level)|Isolation]] in a single shot, but the difference is negligible when dealing with enemy players.) The Beam Rifle has a slightly higher rate of fire and does not need to reload, but is prone to overheating and has fewer rounds.

===Focus Rifle===
{{Main|Focus Rifle}}
The Focus rifle is scoped, [[headshot]]-capable, and is capable of continuous fire, being able to kill a fully shielded [[Spartan II program|Spartan]] in about 1.5 seconds. The Focus rifle has a higher rate of fire than the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Covenant Carbine|Carbine]] and the [[Sniper rifle]], but overheats easier due to the continuous fire.

Neither the Carbine nor the Battle Rifle are considered sniping weapons, but they can be used as such. Both weapons are headshot-capable, and both possess scopes that allow for long-range battles.
