The L96A1 is a 2nd-tier unlock for the Sniper Kit. The M95 is required for this unlock, but players can buy the Battlefield 2: Special Forces expansion pack to make unlocking it easier. It is also the default weapon for the EU's snipers. It is very comparable to the USMC's M24 in terms of fire rate, damage output, and accuracy. Accuracy and power is slightly better on the L96A1, but the M24 has a faster bolt-cycle rate and is faster to ready it. Despite this, many players prefer the L96A1 over the M24 because of its unique scope. The scope is very similar to the M24, but it has even slimmer lines, which is ideal for long range shooting.

"British made, high performance sniper rifle. Widely used across Europe."
— Battlelog description

The L96 is a sniper rifle in Battlefield 3 along with 9 other weapons available in the Back to Karkand expansion and made its first appearance in the "Strike at Karkand Gameplay Trailer." It has a faster reload but cycling the bolt is slower than with the SV98. The L96's rounds travel faster in the air and thus, the bullets drop less at longer ranges, giving it a somewhat similar bullet drop pattern to that of the M98B. It is unlocked after completing the Assignment Creeping Death. To complete the assignment, you need to get:

  • 50 headshots
  • 50 spot assists
  • 5 knife takedowns.

Among the bolt action rifles in Battlefield 3, the L96 is equal to the JNG-90 in bullet velocity and damage drop-off over distance.

Battlefield Premium members can equip the Airman Camo for the L96, or the Digital Woodland Camo by completing the L96 Specialist assignment, though they are entirely optional and the differences are aesthetic only.

Patch historyEdit

The L96 was the only bolt-action sniper that could mount a Flash Suppressor (which is no longer an option as of the March 27th Patch for the PS3 and Xbox 360). When the Flash Suppressor was equipped onto the L96, the accuracy of the weapon, aimed or otherwise, was not affected at all, whereas on other weapons the Flash Suppressor did decrease accuracy. (Please note that after the 3/27/12 patch, the Flash Suppressor no longer reduces Aimed Accuracy on any weapon)

As of the recent large update, the L96 has had its damage changed and has a new chest multiplier of 1.25. With 80 damage at close range it will kill in one shot to the chest. It also means that in hardcore game modes, it will be able to kill in one shot to the chest at any range.

Before the June 4th 2012 patch, the point of aim on the L96 was vertically offset (with the possible exception of some rifle scopes), due to a bug. This caused shots to be fired from a point above the center of the sight the player was using, throwing off one's aim. Now the iron sights are aligned with the top of the post (but not with the dot on the post).
