Smart-linking is the process of linking an optical scope to the user's heads-up display. The technology is used in most UNSC infantry firearms.[1]
Covenant marksman rifles utilize smart-linking technology, with both the focus rifle and the particle beam rifle using the same smart-link firmware with varying scope magnifications. The smart-link feed used by both of the weapons displays the rifle's remaining power, accumulated heat level, and diagnostic information. The smart-link feed allows semi-automatic adjustment of the plasma beam angle when interlinked with the hardware in Sangheili combat harnesses or Kig-Yar marksman sets, allowing the rifle's operator to track targets without adjust their aimpoint at distant targets.[2]
List of smart-linked scopes
- Holoscope (Type-57B carbine, BR85N, M20 SMG, M395B, MA5D assault rifle)
- KFA-2 x2 (M6B, M6D, M6F, M6G(B) and M6H)
- Morph sight (BR85N, M20 SMG, M395B, MA5D, Z-250 lightrifle)
- Recon sight (BR85N, M20 SMG, M395B, MA5D)
- SLS/V 5B (M7S SMG)
- VnSLS/V 6E (M6C/SOCOM)
- Wyrd III (W/AV M6 G/GNR)
Production notes
Smart-linking acts as the fictional basis for the new "smart scope" Spartan ability in Halo 5: Guardians. The smart scope allows players to activate a holographic zoom-in overlay with an enhanced targeting reticle while using any ranged weapon. Apart from easing the player's aiming the weapon's accuracy is not affected by the smart scope.[3]
List of appearances
- Halo: Combat Evolved (First appearance)
- Halo 3
- Halo 3: ODST
- Halo: Reach
- Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
- Halo 4
