Introduction

The BR 75 is a semi-automatic kinetic weapon that fires a 3-bullet burst in rapid succession.

As a burst fires, the weapon kicks up after every bullet before resetting to the state it was before firing. Depending on how far your target is, you may want to aim slightly lower that the head to ensure your bullets land.

The BR 75 is designed for mid to long range exchanges featuring a scope to help aid precision. However, it can still be effective close range if your aim is true. There is no red reticle range increase when using the scope.

In social, the BR 75 is a weapon pad pickup which spawns every 30 seconds after being picked up.

In ranked, the BR 75 is your only starting weapon. The weapon plays slightly different in ranked as it is a 2-burst melee compared to social which is 3.

Kinetic weapons excel at damaging health and are weaker at damaging shields.

Playstyles

The slayer

The BR 75 gives you a fighting chance against every other weapon in the sandbox so long as you use cover and strafing to your advantage.

You can run around the map wrecking havoc by using the BR 75 alongside other parts of the sandbox like grenades, secondary weapons, equipment, and teammates.

However, this requires you to get into constant engagements, going headfirst into battle believing you can out br the opponent.

Do you have what it takes?

The damage dealer

With the range and ease of use of the BR 75, you can sit back from a distance and lay down damage.

With the precision of this weapon, you can assist your teammates by weakening enemies so that they can come in and finish off the kill.

Damage dealers in this regard are passive in their play opting to help their team in winning map control and objectives which is what Halo is all about.

Weapon Combos

  • Catalyst map

    BR 75 + Pulse Carbine

    Plasma weapons are effective at draining shields. Fire a pulse carbine burst and switch to the BR 75 to finish the kill.

    Since the tracking of the pulse carbine burst is weak, this strategy should be used when the enemy is relatively still and doesn't notice you.

  • Spartans running

    BR 75 + Automatic Weapons

    During engagements, automatic weapons may become unviable due to the distance between opponents.

    Automatic weapons become less accurate when the target is further away. You should switch to the BR 75 to deliver the final blow on low shielded enemies.
