The L85 is a bullpup assault rifle designed in the

1970s and 80s, developed from the SA80, to become the service rifle of the Armed Forces of Britain. It fires the 5.56x45mm NATO round and is fed from a 30 round detachable STANAG box magazine with an effective range of up to 850 meters depending on the variant and a 650 rounds per minute fire rate.

The L85A1 (referred to in the game files as SA80A2^[2]) is a Tier One unlock for the Medic Kit and the primary weapon for the European Union Assault Class. It features a SUSAT scope instead of the iron sights. Some players feel that the high-precision sight seen through the scope makes the weapon appear more accurate than it actually is. As a matter of fact, its ability to accurately hit targets at some distance in full-auto firing mode is lost after more than three shots have been fired in full-auto. The G36E is more accurate, although it doesn't mount any scope.

The L85A2 is found in Battlefield 2: Euro Force. It is used by the EU Assault Kit. The L85A2 is different from its A1 counterpart as it has a black handguard with RIS rails attached instead of the green handguard. The greenish areas of the weapon look paler than the L85A1. Also, the L85A1 has its magazine painted with camouflage while the L85A2's has normal paint. The L85A2 is also slightly longer than its A1 counterpart, due to the special handguard. The difference in optics between the two guns is major; the original L85 uses a SUSAT scope while the EU's counterpart uses the L85's optional carry handle iron sights, which are similar in design to the USMC's M16A2. The biggest difference however, is that the EU Assault Kit version features the AG-36 grenade launcher, while the A1 does not.

In Battlefield 2: Modern Combat's singleplayer, the L85A2 is issued to NATO assault-class soldiers during In and Out. It has a moderate rate of fire, a 30 round magazine, high damage and good accuracy. It can kill in a single head shot and is effective as a sharpshooting weapon with its ACOG-like scope. It also has an M203 attached to it, though it was originally unusable. Blind firing for head shots and the grenade launcher can easily dispose of a large amount of enemies.

In multiplayer, it is issued to the EU Assault kit and can be used similarly to how it's used in singleplayer.

"Part of the SA80 family, the L85A2 is the standard assault rifle of the British armed forces." — Battlelog description

The L85A2 is an assault rifle featured in the multiplayer of Battlefield 3, available for unlock as a part of the Battlefield 3 Back to Karkand expansion pack. The weapon bears numerous similarities to the AK-74M in terms of handling, with the same rate of fire and similarly low recoil, but the L85A2 has a tendency to drift up and left rather than up and right, and is harsher in doing so than the AK-74M. Additionally, it has the highest spread recovery rate of all of the assault rifles.

It can be unlocked by completing the Professional Russian assignment which was also included in the Back to Karkand expansion; the assignment consists of obtaining 100 assault rifle kills, 20 M320/GP-30 kills (contrary to its battlelog description, the M320/GP-30 need not be underslung and grenade rounds are not mandatory), and 5 victories in Squad Deathmatch.

The weapon shares the same unlocks and attachments as the other assault rifles, and like all other bullpup weapons it cannot accept the M26 MASS or M320/GP-30 as underslung attachments.
