Strategy[]
This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.- The Burst Pulse Rifle is an incredibly versatile weapon, excelling at both close and long ranges.
- When using the Burst Pulse Rifle up close, make sure to hip fire to have a faster fire rate.
- When using the Burst Pulse Rifle at range, make sure to aim in to have near-perfect accuracy.
- The Burst Pulse Rifle is an excellent choice for loadouts using only two guns, since it functions well at any range.
- When choosing between the Burst Pulse Rifle and a standard Pulse Rifle, note that the Burst Pulse Rifle deals lower damage per shot but fires in a two-round burst while aimed in. This burst functionality makes it better for situations where opponents only peak for brief moments at a time, potentially netting you more overall damage in a very short time.
- Since the Burst Pulse Rifle is a hitscan weapon rather than firing projectiles, it has a long-range advantage against other long-ranged weapons like the DMR or Striker AR, especially given its accuracy at range.
- Make sure to always aim for headshots at range to capitalize on this weapon's high accuracy.
- As the Burst Pulse Rifle fires in bursts, it can be advantageous while using this weapon at long ranges to peak, fire a burst, then hide once more while you wait for the weapon to be ready to fire again.
- Try not to challenge sniper rifles with the Burst Pulse Rifle, as they can eliminate you in a single well-placed shot while you attempt to whittle away at their health while exposed. Instead, attempt to close the gap, ducking behind or building cover when the sniper's glint is showing.

Trivia[]
- If examined closely, The Burst Pulse Rifle is a slightly upgraded Pulse Rifle with a few differences in its model.
- It is hinted in the Update v17.40 Patch Notes that The Last Reality took one and improved upon its design to create this weapon, which is more apparent with Kymera selling it and not anybody from the Imagined Order.
- The Burst Pulse Rifle's model is internally referred to as Pasta_Ripper_Rifle_Top_Tier, this name matches the names of other Epic and Legendary rarity models which hints that this may have originally been a high rarity model for the Pulse Rifle at some point in development.
