At default, the reticle is very small, meaning that the first bullet fired from your MA5D will be a bulls-eye, but the reticle rapidly increases in size as you continue to hold down the trigger. It is easy to overestimate an Assault rifle's performance while going full-auto due to the sheer rate of fire, but you'll only be wasting your bullets if the enemy is farther away than close range.Take down one, reload, then go after your next foe. Focus on one opponent, because although the MA5D is ferociously dangerous in close quarters, you may find yourself not having enough ammunition in the magazine to handle two enemies at a time.It is best to walk backwards while firing in effective bursts so that you won't have to reload or waste ammo on wild shots. Be careful when going up against close-range instant-kill weapons.

Like the majority of the Assault rifles throughout the series, it is best to go full-auto at close range and use short, controlled bursts for medium range.It lacks long-range accuracy, however, and therefore it's wise to pair it with a more precise weapon like the DMR or Battle Rifle. Like the MA37 from Halo: Reach, the MA5D is a general-purpose weapon.Like previous incarnations, the MA5D also contains a built-in ammo counter and compass.

The MA5D ICWS is a gas-operated, magazine-fed, automatic assault rifle designed to execute close-quarters combat with lethal efficiency, regardless of hostile counter-op, environmental conditions, or duration of use in the field.
