The sniper rifle is a human 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 for picking off enemies at a great distance.
Universe and lore
Most of the sniper rifles seen in the Halo games are part of the SRS99 family, a series of rifles produced by Misriah Armory for the United Nations Space Command armed forces. The original SRS99 AM rifle entered service in 2460 with the UNSC Army, and the SRS99 series was eventually adopted by all remaining branches in 2521, thanks to its impressive modularity and continuing support on behalf of Misriah. The series remains in service as of 2558, having gone through at least three further revisions since its initial adoption.
Another prominent sniper rifle is the M99 Stanchion, a now-defunct weapon that has been out of production since 2521. The Stanchion bears more resemblence to a coilgun or railgun than a traditional chemical propellant-based firearm. It was used by the crew of the UNSC Spirit of Fire during the Second Ark Conflict, along with another sniper rifle known as the signature-suppressed anti-materiel rifle. Additionally, an Insurrectionist group active on Harvest and Arcadia was known to equip its soldiers with an as-of-yet unidentified sniper rifle.
The following is a list of all sniper rifles in Halo lore that have appeared in the games:
- Signature-suppressed anti-materiel rifle (Halo Wars 2)
- SRS99 series
- SRS99-AM sniper rifle (Halo: Reach, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and Halo 2: Anniversary)
- Series 2
- Series 5
- M99 Stanchion (Halo Wars 2)
- M99A2S3 Stanchion (Halo Wars 2: Operation: SPEARBREAKER)
- Unidentified sniper rifle (Halo Wars)
