Halo 4
- Unlike its UNSC and Covenant counterparts, the Binary Rifle is capable of instantly killing most enemies with one shot regardless of where it hits.
- When playing on Heroic or Legendary and fighting against higher ranks of Sangheili and Promethean Knights, the weapon requires a few shots (2 or 3) for a kill.
- The Binary Rifle is very efficient as an anti-armor weapon, destroying light-armored vehicles in one or two shots and even heavy vehicles with only a few more.
- The weapon features a much higher zoom level than its other counterparts, allowing for engagements from extreme distances. This is especially useful on maps like Ragnarok.
- Unlike the other sniper-type weapons in the game, the Binary Rifle is plagued with an extreme spread penalty when hipfired, making it a poor choice for close range engagements.
- The Binary Rifle is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, behind the Incineration Cannon with the Damage Boost. However, it is also one of the riskiest weapons to use.
Halo 5: Guardians
- The Binary Rifle has been changed from its Halo 4 rendition in that it now fires a concentrated beam of antimatter-infused energy, in a similar fashion to a Halo: Reach-exclusive weapon: the Focus Rifle.
- To land a kill with the weapon, at least 75% of the beam must hit.
- The weapon can now be safely hipfired as it no longer has a spread penalty, allowing for more Snapshot medals to be earned with it.
- The faster rate of fire, along with beams taking the place of single shots, makes the weapon slightly more forgiving than before, but it is otherwise still rather unforgiving.
- Warzone and Arena feature two variants:
- Retina of the Mind's Eye: an improved Binary Rifle with increased magazine size and spare clip count, useful for prolonged long range engagements.
- Twin Jewels of Maethrillian: an advanced Binary Rifle featuring dual beam emitters that deal extra damage to armor but the weapon cannot deal headshots to the front or back of an enemy's head.
- This weapon is ideal for use against Focus Turrets, heavy vehicles, and Warzone bosses like the Warden Eternal.
