The '''Brute Plasma Rifle''' is a [[Jiralhane|Brute]] [[Precision weapon|precision]] [[power weapon]] featured in all major ''Halo'' games, starting with ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. It is a long-range weapon which typically has two levels of scope, and is best used to pick off enemies at a great distance. The Sniper deals a large amount of damage per shot, but has a slow rate of fire and usually only carries four shots per magazine.

==Overview==
|type=
The Sniper Rifle is a powerful precision weapon, featured in every notable ''Halo'' game since the series' inception in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. Typically dark grey or black in color, the weapon features one of the longest barrels of any weapon, as well as a large boxy scope and a prominent stock, making it very easy to identify. It is capable of killing enemy players in as little as one or two shots depending upon accuracy, and deals a large amount of damage. To compensate for this, it has a slow rate of fire compared to most weapons, usually only carries four shots per magazine, and is very rare.

===Unlock and acquisition requirements===
In the majority of ''Halo'' games, the Brute Plasma Rifle does not need to be unlocked, and is simply acquired by finding it on the map, or, in the case of some game modes or campaign missions, spawning with it. However, there is one notable exception:


====''Halo 5: Guardians''====
;Needed parameters
In ''Halo 5: Guardians'', the Brute Plasma Rifle was introduced into the game in the ''[[Memories of Reach]]'' update, alongside two REQ variants. In [[Warzone]], the weapon can only be acquired via the [[Requisition system|REQ system]]. To unlock the Brute Plasma Rifle, the player must acquire a Brute Plasma Rifle certification, an Uncommon REQ card that can be found randomly in all types of REQ packs. Upon receiving the certification, the player will also be given a number of Brute Plasma Rifle REQ cards, and will begin to randomly receive more when opening future packs. Each of these cards can be redeemed in a Warzone match to spawn a Brute Plasma Rifle, at the cost of {{Energy|2}}. Doing so will consume the card. Alternatively, the cards can be sold for {{RP|75}} each.{{Ref/Game|H5G|requisition system}}{{Ref/Game|H5G|REQ card|Detail=Sniper Rifle}}

End of the Line is a Rare REQ variant of the Sniper Rifle, featured in ''Halo 5: Guardians''. It boasts a faster rate of fire and significantly reduced recoil, but deals slightly less damage per shot - though it is still capable of killing an enemy player in two body shots or one headshot. Should the player have an End of the Line REQ card, the weapon can be acquired in [[Warzone]] via the REQ system for a cost of {{Energy|6}}, or alternatively the card can be sold for {{RP|100}}.{{Ref/Reuse|EotLCard}}

Arrow of Time is an Ultra-Rare REQ variant of the Sniper Rifle in ''Halo 5: Guardians''. It features a larger magazine than the standard Sniper, with 6 shots instead of 4, and the player will not be [[descope]]d when shot whilst zoomed in with the weapon. However, it also has increased recoil compared to the normal Sniper Rifle. Its REQ card costs {{Energy|7}} to use in-game, or can be sold for {{RP|150}}.{{Ref/Reuse|AoTCard}}

Nornfang is a Mythic, Legendary REQ variant of the Sniper Rifle in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', and is the personal sniper rifle of the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Linda-058]]. The weapon fires rounds that explode on impact, dealing damage to any nearby enemies, and instantly killing them if hit directly. Additionally, when scoped in, the motion sensor will not be hidden while using Nornfang. To balance this out, the player gains the [[Damage Boost]] visual effect when they equip the weapon, making them very easy to spot. Nornfang can be requisitioned in [[Warzone]] for {{Energy|7}}, provided the player has a spare Nornfang REQ card, or alternatively the card can be sold for {{RP|200}}.{{Ref/Reuse|NornCard}}

===Counterparts===
The '''''Sahara''-class heavy prowler'''<ref name="VIS">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 190''</ref> is a class of [[UNSC prowler|stealth vessel]] in the [[UNSC Navy]]. Like most prowlers, ships of the class are designated with the [[hull classification symbol]] '''PRO''', followed by a numeric designation.<ref name="mythos">'''[[Halo Mythos]]''', ''page 140''</ref>{{Ref/Site|Id=HUProwler|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/oni-prowler|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=ONI Prowler|D=19|M=01|Y=2021}}
The most prominent counterpart to the Brute Plasma Rifle is the [[Covenant]]'s regular [[Plasma Rifle]], identical in form to the Brute Plasma Rifle except for its blue colouration. In function, the Plasma Rifle is typically found in the hands of [[Sangheili|Elite]] infantry (or Brute infantry in ''Halo 3''), and boasts a lower rate-of-fire and damage output, but a larger ammunition pool and overheat capacity. In ''Halo 3: ODST'', the Brute Plasma Rifle retains the statistics of the ''Halo 3'' Plasma Rifle.


The primary human counterpart to the Plasma Rifles is the [[SMG]], a similarly dual-wieldable fast rate-of-fire automatic weapon firing bullets instead of Plasma.

==Evolution==
===Armament===
===Changes from ''Halo 2'' to ''Halo 3'' and ''ODST''===
Since prowlers usually avoid combat, besides active combat monitoring and recording, the armaments and weapon systems on a ''Sahara''-class prowler is limited. They are armed with several [[XEV9-Matos nonlinear pulse cannon]]s, allowing the prowlers to protect themselves if they are attacked. ''Sahara''-class prowlers are usually equipped with at least one [[Shiva-class nuclear missile#M947 Shiva|M947 Shiva Nuclear Delivery System]]. The main armament of the prowler is its [[M441 Hornet Remote Explosive System]]. With the mines, the prowlers lay out minefields in space for enemy ships to unknowingly enter.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}
*Overall higher damage and slower fire rate.
*New muzzle brake with front iron sight.
*Handguard, body, and stock has been altered.
*The scope now shows real-time with an LCD screen and infrared vision.
*It now has a trigger guard.
*The Sniper Rifle now has a new flat matte black color finish to it.
*Recoil now affects accuracy.


===Changes from ''Halo 3'' and ''ODST'' to ''Halo: Reach''===
==Operational history==
*Increased damage against vehicles, destroying them with four to six rounds.
''Sahara''-class prowlers had entered service with the UNSC Navy by [[2526]], where each of the three squadrons of [[Task Force Yama]] were led by a heavy prowler.<ref name="HSS5">'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''Chapter 5''</ref> In [[2553]], after the [[Human-Covenant War]], the ''Sahara''-class prowler {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}} was used as transportation for the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] black ops team known as [[Kilo-Five]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page ??''</ref> In [[2558]], the ''Sahara''-class prowler {{UNSCShip|Aladdin}} was used to transport [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]], incarcerated by ONI for war crimes, to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.{{Ref/Reuse|catherine}} In [[2558#May|May 2558]], [[SPARTAN-IV]]s [[Naiya Ray]] and [[Gabriel Thorne]] used a ''Sahara''-class prowler to investigate a [[biological agent]], created by several [[Kig-Yar]], on [[Ven III]].<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 11|Issue #11]]''</ref>
*Has a thumbhole stock rather than a pistol grip.
*Updated colors.
*Scope is smaller.
*Can neutralize a Scorpion tank in two shots, one to destroy the canopy, and a headshot to kill the now-exposed driver.

*{{UNSCShip|Dusk}} - Present during the Battle of Onyx.
* While scoped in, the weapon's scope will glimmer bright white, giving away the user's position.
* Noticeably higher bullet magnetism, increasing ease of use.
* Anti-vehicle properties reduced.
 
==Skins==
{{Main|Skins (Halo: The Master Chief Collection)}}
While the Brute Plasma Rifle itself is not given particular skins in any ''Halo'' games, the [[Skins (Halo: Combat Evolved)|Skins]] for ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''{{'}}s Plasma Rifle in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' allow the player to turn their Plasma Rifle into a Brute Plasma Rifle, with the aptly-named ''Brutal'' skin. Similar red coatings are available for the [[Plasma Pistol]], [[Needler]], [[Fuel Rod Cannon]], [[Banshee]] and [[Ghost]]. These were added into the game with an update on [[2020|July 14, 2020]], alongside the beginning of [[Season 2: Spark]] and the launch of ''[[Halo 3]]'' for PC.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/halo-3-now-available-for-pc|SiteName=Halo Waypoint|Section=News|PageName=Halo 3 Now Available for PC}} The ''Brutal'' skin for the Plasma Rifle does not affect the Plasma Rifle's gameplay stats.
 
==Production notes==
{{Quote|[[Robert McLees]] is definitely the go-to guy for the gun stuff. I wanted to come up with an animation for the sniper scope, an 'idle cycle'. If you activate the scope, and then sit too long without doing anything, the animation would kick in periodically, just to keep things interesting... Simple, right...? He replied, 'No way. If you adjust your scope in the field, you're dead. Snipers don't do that.' That's how detailed his weapon designs are -- not just guns, but how they work, and how a sniper would fire them. Amazing.|Animator [[William O'Brien]], regarding the Robert McLees and his weapon designs for ''Halo 2''.{{Ref/Book|Id=McLeesAnimation|The Art of Halo: Creating a Virtual World|Page=100}}}}
The earlier games' depictions of the Sniper Rifle, notably those from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', ''Halo 2'', ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'', bear significant resemblance to and were likely inspired by the real-world [[Wikipedia:Denel NTW-20|Denel NTW-20]], an anti-material rifle developed in the 1990s by Denel Mechem.
 
[[Robert McLees]] was known within [[Bungie]] for being the expert to consult when doing work related to the games' weapons during ''Halo 2''{{'}}s development. At one point, animator [[William O'Brien]] sought to create an idle animation for the Sniper Rifle, in which the player character would adjust the scope if the player zooms in and then remains idle for a while. McLees shot down this idea, stating that in reality, no sniper would ever adjust their scope on the field.{{Ref/Reuse|McLeesAnimation}}
 
==Trivia==
*In the original [[Xbox 360]] version of ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'' the Sniper Rifle's [[reticle]] is far larger than it is in the original ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' on [[Xbox]] and PC. In the ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' version of ''Halo: CEA'', the reticle returns to its original size.
*In the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the scope shows the identity of the weapon's user as "ID-[[SPARTAN-B312|NOBLE6]]", regardless of who wields it. This is not present in the final build.

The Sahara-class heavy prowler[10] is a class of stealth vessel in the UNSC Navy. Like most prowlers, ships of the class are designated with the hull classification symbol PRO, followed by a numeric designation.[6][11]

Overview

Design details

Like most prowlers, the Sahara-class is equipped with stealth systems that mask the ship from both visual and sensor detection. These systems include an active camouflage, leaving the prowler nearly invisible to the naked eye.[12]

The ship has a ventral launch bay fitted with hook systems used to deploy EVA maneuvering vehicles.[6]

Armament

Since prowlers usually avoid combat, besides active combat monitoring and recording, the armaments and weapon systems on a Sahara-class prowler is limited. They are armed with several XEV9-Matos nonlinear pulse cannons, allowing the prowlers to protect themselves if they are attacked. Sahara-class prowlers are usually equipped with at least one M947 Shiva Nuclear Delivery System. The main armament of the prowler is its M441 Hornet Remote Explosive System. With the mines, the prowlers lay out minefields in space for enemy ships to unknowingly enter.[10]

Operational history

Sahara-class prowlers had entered service with the UNSC Navy by 2526, where each of the three squadrons of Task Force Yama were led by a heavy prowler.[13] In 2553, after the Human-Covenant War, the Sahara-class prowler UNSC Port Stanley was used as transportation for the Office of Naval Intelligence black ops team known as Kilo-Five.[14] In 2558, the Sahara-class prowler UNSC Aladdin was used to transport Dr. Catherine Halsey, incarcerated by ONI for war crimes, to the UNSC Infinity.[12] In May 2558, SPARTAN-IVs Naiya Ray and Gabriel Thorne used a Sahara-class prowler to investigate a biological agent, created by several Kig-Yar, on Ven III.[15]
