* While the reticle is primarily for determining if you are aiming well or not, it can also be used to determine the spray of your weapon. Weapons such as the [[sniper rifle]] are very accurate and do not have a spray pattern or area of effect, so the reticle is very small, but weapons with a larger spray, such as the [[shotgun]], pre-''Halo 5: Guardians'' Binary Rifle, or the [[M12 Warthog LRV|Warthog]] turret have much larger reticles. If the torso of an enemy fully occupies your reticle, you can be sure that an instant kill with one of these weapons is a distinct possibility. This also applies in general, usually the optimum range for a weapon is when the torso or head of your opponent fully occupies your reticle.

* Remember also that the reticles of different weapons are different for a reason. Weapons such as the [[Type-25 Brute Shot|Brute Shot]] and Incineration Cannon are much easier to aim if you know how to use the reticle to help you to aim it.

* The color of the reticle can also help you determine if the weapon is in range of the [[Auto-Aim|auto-aim]]. If your reticle is not red, the magnetic targeting will not work, making it harder to aim. Weapons like the [[BR55HB battle rifle|battle rifle]] can achieve greater auto-aim range when scoped.
