 * 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 [[Type-52 focus rifle|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 hipfire kills to be earned with it, although it has moderate recoil when hipfired.
+** It is less effective against moving targets unless the player has a steady hand and aim.
-* 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, as the weapon is now even less effective against fast moving targets.
+* The weapon can now be safely hipfired as it no longer has a spread penalty, allowing for more hipfire kills to be earned with it, although it has moderate vertical recoil when hipfired.
-* In the campaign, player characters who are targeted with the Binary Rifle receive a bright glare on their visor to alert them.
+* Players who are targeted with the Binary Rifle receive a bright glare on their visor to alert them. This is even more noticeable when the Binary Rifle is wielded by [[Soldier Sniper]]s.
 * Like with the Incineration Cannon, the Binary Rifle can kill a player character in the campaign and make them unrevivable until they respawn.
-** For this reason, players should be careful of [[Soldier Sniper]]s, as they are commonly seen with this weapon.
+** For this reason, players should be careful of Soldier Snipers, as they are commonly seen with this weapon, especially on Heroic or Legendary.
 * Warzone and Arena feature two variants:
 ** '''''Retina of the Mind's Eye''''': an improved Binary Rifle with increased magazine size of 4 rounds and total ammo count of 16 rounds, useful for prolonged long range engagements.
 ** '''''Twin Jewels of Maethrillian''''': an advanced Binary Rifle featuring dual beam emitters that fire longer and deal extra damage to armor with much less vertical recoil but the weapon cannot deal [[headshot]]s to the front or back of an enemy's head. This weapon is ideal for use against heavy armor, vehicles, and bosses, but is otherwise not very effective against Knights.
-*** This variant is also featured in the campaign missions ''[[Reunion]]'' and ''[[Guardians (level)|Guardians]]'', where the player can use it to easily kill [[Promethean Soldier]] [[Soldier Officer|Captains]] and destroy [[Z-510 focus turret|Focus Turrets]], even on [[Legendary]] difficulty.
+*** This variant is also featured in the campaign missions ''[[Reunion]]'' and ''[[Guardians (level)|Guardians]]'', where the player can use it to easily kill [[Promethean Soldier]] [[Soldier Officer|Officers]] and destroy [[Z-510 focus turret|Focus Turrets]] and [[Type-58 Wraith|Wraiths]], even on [[Legendary]] difficulty.
 *** Regardless of which Binary Rifle variant is used, make every shot count.
