*When using the Particle Beam Rifle, it should be remembered that it is a sniper weapon, and should be used at long ranges, to take out high priority targets (preferably) with headshots, or in the case of [[Hunters]], a shot to the exposed orange flesh. Due to its difficulty to use at close and medium quarters, it is advisable to keep a good short-range secondary weapon, in case an enemy moves too close to use the Beam Rifle effectively. | *When using the Particle Beam Rifle, it should be remembered that it is a sniper weapon, and should be used at long ranges, to take out high priority targets (preferably) with headshots, or in the case of [[Hunters]], a shot to the exposed orange flesh.

*Jackal snipers on Heroic and Legendary can be extremely accurate and can kill you in one shot, regardless of where it hits, making them probably the most lethal enemy in the game. Remember where there are snipers and eliminate them first. | *Jackal snipers on Heroic and Legendary can be extremely accurate and can kill you in one shot, regardless of where it hits, making them probably the most lethal enemy in the game.

You can kill combat forms by hitting them in the chest area (where the infection form's tendrils protrude, but the target is fairly small). In addition, you can use the beam rifle to hit carrier forms from a safe distance. | ||

*On the level, [[The Great Journey]], [[Sergeant Johnson]] uses the Beam Rifle to lower [[Tartarus]]' shield. The player can also obtain a Beam Rifle before the battle and use that to lower the Chieftain's shield instead of waiting for Johnson to do it, but Tartarus' shield recharges more quickly if the player uses the latter method. A better method would be to give it to one of the Elites that helps you kill him, that way, you have two times the shots, but his shields won't recharge immediately. | *On the level, [[The Great Journey]], [[Sergeant Johnson]] uses the Beam Rifle to lower [[Tartarus]]' shield.
