Specifications

Design

Main article: SRS99 Series

The SRS99D-S2 AM is a powerful, semi-automatic sniper rifle that fires 14.5×114mm APFSDS rounds. The weapon is effective out to almost a mile (1.6 kilometres), and has the capacity to eliminate targets in a single shot. Recoil is not considered a significant issue when employing this weapon, and its high rate of fire and ergonomic reloading process mitigate the limited capacity of the 4-round detachable box magazines utilized with it.[6] The optic mounted on the weapon is capable of x5 and x10 magnification, and displays a sighted target's distance and elevation.[7]

Development History

Trivia

Main-Legendary.png See our gameplay information related to SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle on its gameplay page.
Main-Superintendent.png Browse more images in this article's gallery page.
  • When meleeing with the weapon, the image on the scope will briefly reflect the player's field of view before switching to the scope's view.
  • When throwing a piece of equipment, the player character's model will appear to sink into the rifle and disappear until the throwing animation is finished.
  • The SRS99D's in-game model lacks the cyan "trinity" emblem seen on the sniper rifles in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2. However, it is shown with this symbol in Halo: Landfall.
  • In-game, the spent brass from the weapon's firing is ejected out of the opposite side of the weapon from the port. This production error more likely pertains to the model itself than the animation, as most weapons are configured so that the brass ejects off to the right to minimize interference with more common right-handed shooters.
