Prototypes of the Battle Rifle were used in 2525 at Harvest, but it entered active service in 2524. The weapon is canonically capable of fully-automatic fire, but only the three-round burst mode is encountered in game. Battle Rifle standard round is s the M634 9.5x40mm X-HP-SAP round from a 36-round magazine, though the weapon can utilizes the 9.5x40mm KURZ[2]. Additionally, the weapon features a scope attachment capable of 2x magnification. It does reasonable damage to enemies, being able to kill most within a few bursts (normally four when enemy is fully shielded), and easily land headshots on unshielded targets, resulting in a one-hit kill. Its accuracy and range are also reasonably high, being able to hit a target from medium to semi-long ranges. It is highly recommended to always have one on hand on higher difficulty levels.
