The Focus Rifle is a [[sniper]]-style weapon, that, despite its visual similarities to the [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System]], functions quite differently. It fires a continuous purple-tinted beam, similar in operation to a [[Sentinel Beam]]. The weapon is believed to be battery-powered, though the exact mechanism by which it functions is currently under investigation by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]].<ref name="Bnet"/> | The Focus Rifle is a [[sniper]]-style weapon, that, despite its visual similarities to the [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System]], functions quite differently.

The laser will take approximately 1.5 seconds to kill a fully shielded [[Spartan]], and is designed to emphasize more of a "tracking" skill set than other weapons because this weapon, being a sniper variant, does not feature any aim assist to compensate for its power. It is designed for ranged suppression rather than instant death, and is considered a power weapon. Its appearance and reticule is very similar to the [[Beam Rifle]], with a 3.5-9.5x magnification scope.<ref name="Reach"/> | The laser will take approximately 1.5 seconds to kill a fully shielded [[Spartan]], and is designed to emphasize more of a "tracking" skill set than other weapons because this weapon, being a [[sniper]] variant, does not feature any aim assist to compensate for its power.
