Even though the MA5 series of rifles is intended to be the Halo series' iconic weapons, the BR55 Battle Rifle is probably the rifle that most Halo fans will identify as the true workhorse of the series. A powerful, precise rifle that works fine against Insurrectionists, genocidal aliens, and the local police department. The BR55 comes complete with its own scope and functioning ammo counter, made by Offyerrocker, but there isn't much in the way of customizability. The BR55 is designed to be a weapon good at killing most cops in 1 burst and I believe it does that fairy well. Other Notes on the BR55's stats: || The ammo pickup is intended to be 2-6 ammo per pickup before bonus multipliers, which is plenty if you're careful with your aim and can consistently kill targets in one burst. The accuracy is fine and the stability is just okay. However, the weapon doesn't kick all that much, so the rifle should resettle itself inbetween bursts. By default, damage on the BR55 misses the 85 damage breakpoint for 3 hitting most normal enemies in the game, though you can solve that with a few weapon attachments, such as Heavy Barrel (referencing the Halo 3 version), which will give a noticeable boost to your damage and accuracy at the cost of total ammo count. You could also opt to use some of Killerwolf's Ammo Types to bump up your damage, use the Berserker/Underdog skills, and/or Crits to make sure the weapon kills in one burst.|| **Please thank Mira & Cpone for dragging me through the weapon making process!** ~~granted, that isn't saying much when I sucked so bad that Mira made a custom weapon guide in response to my questions...~~ **Please thank Offyerrocker for the fantastic ammo counter and BR scope reticle!** **RECOMMENDED COMPANION MODS** Master Chief Legendary Armor Skin: https://modworkshop.net/mod/30743 M6G Magnum Custom Pistol https://modworkshop.net/mod/24816 **KNOWN ISSUES** **When swapping weapons, throwing grenades/etc, the number from the ammo counter will float in place (or, for the case of melee weapons, amusingly float above the melee weapon). Does not affect useability and is a side effect of how the ammo counter was designed.** **If you do not have Perfect View Model installed, the weapon refuses to move around.** **Probable Future Frequently Asked Questions** **Q: When will you make (insert Halo weapon name here)?** **A: No. ** **Q: BXR? Doubleshot? Quadshot? (Insert other Halo 2 button combos here)?** **A: I did want to add BXR, but it'll take some time to sort out (Offyerrocker managed to code something, but it isn't working so far). It is actually still in the files (playermanager.lua), but is disabled due to causing crashes. As for Doubleshot/Quad shot, the weapon already fires pretty fast under the burst fire mod, so Double/Quadshot is not necessary.** **Q: Why does the View Model not move around when I look around?** **A: Download Perfect View Model. I have no clue why my mods are plagued with that bug, but they are. Perfect View Model is the only thing that fixes it.**
