The weapon features hitscan and lacks reticule bloom. When fired, the barrel rises vertically, but in a suppressible way. The rifle's three-round burst is particularly effective for mid-range combat, as well as close- and long-range to a lesser extent, as the [[MA5D Individual Combat Weapon System|MA5D Assault Rifle]] and [[M395 Designated Marksman Rifle|M395 DMR]] outperform it at these ranges respectively. The player can carry a maximum of 216 rounds of reserve ammunition for the BR85, from a normal load of 108 rounds. If all the bullets in a 3-round burst (one shot) hit a player in matchmaking, it will take five shots to down a player provided the last shot hits the player as a headshot. Only one round from a burst to the head is required to kill an unshielded enemy. | The weapon features hitscan and lacks reticule bloom.

===Advantages=== | |||
While not as good as the DMR or scoped-in Lightrifle, it still has an acceptable kill time, and is easier to use at close ranges than the former due to the muzzle not rising and better situational awareness, respectively. As well, if an enemy's shields are low enough the BR can kill a shielded enemy with a headshot, via the first or second bullets breaching the shields and the second or third getting the headshot, and headshots in general are easier to get as there are three chances to get one per shot. As such it is recomended to be used in [[Team Swat|Swat]] unless the map is particularly large. | |||
===Disadvantages=== | |||
As previously stated, the BR is neither as strong or as accurate as the other primary weapons. If you can control the recoil, it is highly recomened that one use the DMR, or if one really wants to get fast kills a scoped-in Lightrifle. | |||
