Like Jackfrags said, the L85's amazing accuracy and controllable recoil allows you to kill snipers face to face lots of times. When engaging mid-range or up close targets face to face, the best tactic with this gun is to utilize its ads movement speed bonus. The L85 has one of the lowest moving ads spread of all assault rifles. Strafing left and right while shooting allows you to beat many of the faster firing assault rifles in most cases when in close range. It also causes snipers to miss.
SCAR-L and AUG A3 are Assault rifles, if you look at the trailers (Ziba Tower mainly) when you see the person kill someone else with the ACW-R, he's a Engineer, and in Donya fortress, when the person kills the two people with the AUG, he is a Assault kit, so you're welcome
allways used this as my med gun close and long range allways loved it and love it evan more post patch, by FAR the best gun on the battlefeild in my opinion! thanks for summing up what i knew and have been proving for so long!!!!
You nailed this review, I have been telling my friends the same exact things since the patch about this gun, Great Review (and not just I agree with you)
In fact, Jack, it's much better to have a higher horizontal pull on one side, and lower on the other side, because than you have to pull down and against the side, that has higher pull.
Also all the bullpup assault rifles (F2000, KH2002, L85A2) (excluding the FAMAS) have a better hipfiring accuracy than other assault rifles. Bullpup assault rifles do however suffer in one category and that is having a longer reload times when compared to regular assault rifles.
Best Rifle in the game and it'd British! I currently have 16 service stars on it! My attachments - Russian HOLO (Genrally) American RDS (CQDLC) Foregrip Flash Supp.
It might but the ACW-R is going to be in the rifle class so you had better hope the Scar L isn't also a rifle. Personally i think the AUG A3 will be an engineer class weapon along with the MTAR. Both weapons are smaller carbines.
i have only just unlocked this gun and have not used it much, got about 100 kills so far. the cqb abillities of this gun supprised me, its low recoil makes it so easy to control so u can put all the bullets u fire on ur enemy. the aek is my fav for cqb, but overall i like L85A2 better
Fuck yes! I just recently unlocked the L85A2 and it's a nail driver! Still trying to unlock some more attachments but it's going well. Jack, how about another team up with Anderzel to own some some people in the Viper? Loved the last video you guys did where you just destroyed the opposition.
i like this gun very much, i use the Holo sight, cuz the iron sights are terrible, took me a while to earn the red dot sight too, but from there on i was a beast with it
I've got all the unlocks with this gun and--call me weird but--I use this with the Iron Sights, a Foregrip, and either a Laser Sight or Suppressor depending on the map and game mode. Beastly gun, but I've got a secret trick up my sleeve that not many people know about with an underused weapon. Guess what it is!!!
I agree, but for a video game's sake I find it appropriate. The L85 is my 3rd favorite AR irl, behind the TAR21 and G36C first. How do you think I feel about the G36C bullet damage just cuz it's a carbine?? lol
pity you dont like the iron sights on it, i think they are good, they give you a clear picture of the target your aiming for. Also running the L85A2 with the flash suppressor is awesome. I run it with that and nothing else, works for me. On bigger maps it rocks with the russian 3.4x scope. Its my favourite assault rifle from the day i unlocked it pre-patch, its even better post patch!!!
The M16A4 however has the same slow movement while ADS as the M16A3. So its not as effective as the bullpups like the F2000 or L85A2 for moving while ADS firing.
I don't think so, I think they're adding 10 like the last DLC. I did a frame by frame of the CQ Trailer and spotted about 7 guns: the TAR-21, SCAR-L, AUG, ACR, L86A1, LSAT and the SPAS-12, I think there's only 3 missing from my list
when does you'r next short film come? i know you are working on to films and how far haw you gotten on them? (im sorry that you had to read my horible wroten english comment.. )
Just one problem with your review. You run your setup with the foregrip however this gun has little to no side to side movement so there is no need for the foregrip (not to mention the negative affect the foregrip has on your aimed accuracy) Throw a bipod on there instead. It has no negative affect on your guns aimed accuracy or hip fire, and when deployed you can kill a player clear across the map with iron sights. Other than that a good gun, #2 to my M16
Bullpup in BF3 does not only give you a moving ADS speed bonus, but also accuracy bonus. L85A2 > AK74, I cant understand why people use the AK, L85 is better in all ways possible.
you have to do the assignments, its the second assault assignment, need to get 100 AR kills/ 20 Grenade launcher kills/ and win 5 rounds of SQD Deathmatch
you need to have Back to Karkand than you need 10 revives; 10 heals;100 kills with assault rifles; 20 Kills with underslung M320; and win 5 rounds of squad deathmatch.
Great review I especially love it because you don't refer to things as bullets, guns or clips or whatever some people call it. Well done!
Lol I remember counter sniping snipers with this gun. By far my favorite.
this has always been my favorite gun since i unlocked it. it shoots where you point it and it has such minimal recoil even with the heavy barrel
Crazy literally just watching this on Easter weekend. Such a weird coincidence. Thought I was watching a recent video for a second.
I think this weapon is even better after the patch. This was my favorite weapon before as well.
The L85 has a low ADS spread like the F2000. It has a 30% smaller ADS spread than other assault rifles.
I'd like to see a AN-94 review, and maybe a G3 review since the patch. An-94 is getting tons of praise now.
I used this gun for the first time last night, it's amazing.
Went into a HD DM with this gun and got 110 - 37.
Like Jackfrags said, the L85's amazing accuracy and controllable recoil allows you to kill snipers face to face lots of times.

There is no bad weapons in BF3, it's just the way you play with them.
I think the best Modification for this weapon is ...
1. Holographic
2. Foregrip
3. Taclight
This is a Gary good combination !!!
It is really good - check it out!
I like these weapon reviews Jack, nice work
Your channel is amazing, I'm new to battlefield so they have been helping out loads. So thank you, keep up the hard work :D
SCAR-L and AUG A3 are Assault rifles, if you look at the trailers (Ziba Tower mainly) when you see the person kill someone else with the ACW-R, he's a Engineer, and in Donya fortress, when the person kills the two people with the AUG, he is a Assault kit, so you're welcome
thus gun is great, definitely one of my favorites in the assault class.
allways used this as my med gun close and long range allways loved it and love it evan more post patch, by FAR the best gun on the battlefeild in my opinion! thanks for summing up what i knew and have been proving for so long!!!!
I loved this gun before the patch and still love it now
I loved this gun before the patch and still do
thanks dude!

Absolutely love the L85, it's so awesome with the low recoil.
Very good review man. Really like your style of review. Subbed :)
I'm havin a lovely day, just because I'm watching your videos!
good vid again jack, youv'e convinced me to give this gun a second chance :)
Also all the bullpup assault rifles (F2000, KH2002, L85A2) (excluding the FAMAS) have a better hipfiring accuracy than other assault rifles.
Bullpup assault rifles do however suffer in one category and that is having a longer reload times when compared to regular assault rifles.
Great pubstar game. Great review. Subbed and looking forward for more!
haha that is very interesting - I tried it before and never liked it but now I love it :)
3 games I got Service Star, Got 3 Combat Efficency Ribbons, two without dying, and god, this gun is a beast!
much love
"have a lovely day where ever in the world you are" its 11:58 in australia 2 mins till day finishes so lets make most of it since you said so.
Best Rifle in the game and it'd British! I currently have 16 service stars on it!
My attachments -
Russian HOLO (Genrally) American RDS (CQDLC)
Foregrip
Flash Supp.
Great review. I love this gun now too. Subbed!
i found out that when using this weapon, it really helps to have a m26 shotgun or a g18 to help it out in CQB.
It might but the ACW-R is going to be in the rifle class so you had better hope the Scar L isn't also a rifle. Personally i think the AUG A3 will be an engineer class weapon along with the MTAR. Both weapons are smaller carbines.
american rds, bipod, and supp. perfect combo for the general playstyle of this rifle
Fav assault rifle pre patch. Getting used to it post, they did something with it that I don't like but I can't put my finger on
I love this gun pre and post-patch!
i have only just unlocked this gun and have not used it much, got about 100 kills so far.
the cqb abillities of this gun supprised me, its low recoil makes it so easy to control so u can put all the bullets u fire on ur enemy. the aek is my fav for cqb, but overall i like L85A2 better
when the map pack was released. me and many other brits were like HELL YEAH when we sore this gun :)
Great video, thanks Jack!
This is my fav gun from the B2K pack. Still havent unlocked it on pc, might work towards that goal later.
i really like these types of videos
gtx 580, 2500k, 8gb ddr3
Fuck yes! I just recently unlocked the L85A2 and it's a nail driver! Still trying to unlock some more attachments but it's going well. Jack, how about another team up with Anderzel to own some some people in the Viper? Loved the last video you guys did where you just destroyed the opposition.
Hey jack I have found that post patch the M416 is really good and has easily controllable recoil.
I think you should try it.
I love this gun pre and post patch!
I've been using it for a while and I've found that it's not a bad weapon to use a supressor with
i like this gun very much, i use the Holo sight, cuz the iron sights are terrible, took me a while to earn the red dot sight too, but from there on i was a beast with it
Hey Jack, which one do you prefer: AK74 or L85A2 and is the foregrip worth the accuracy drop?
Hey Jack... do you use a controller or the keyboard to play BF3?
I've got all the unlocks with this gun and--call me weird but--I use this with the Iron Sights, a Foregrip, and either a Laser Sight or Suppressor depending on the map and game mode. Beastly gun, but I've got a secret trick up my sleeve that not many people know about with an underused weapon. Guess what it is!!!
I love the L85A2 SA80 British Carbine, It is my favorite weapon In game and IRL
I wish more ppl thought like you my friend!
I agree, but for a video game's sake I find it appropriate. The L85 is my 3rd favorite AR irl, behind the TAR21 and G36C first. How do you think I feel about the G36C bullet damage just cuz it's a carbine?? lol
pity you dont like the iron sights on it, i think they are good, they give you a clear picture of the target your aiming for. Also running the L85A2 with the flash suppressor is awesome. I run it with that and nothing else, works for me. On bigger maps it rocks with the russian 3.4x scope. Its my favourite assault rifle from the day i unlocked it pre-patch, its even better post patch!!!
are you gonna do a livestream any time soon?
on large maps i sometimes use the L85A2 with acog scope and single shot,so i can kill snipers even better ;)
The AUG A3 is bullpup so fast movement and fast-ish rate of fire (probably 750) so might be best Assault rifle
Young Jack in the house
The M16A4 however has the same slow movement while ADS as the M16A3. So its not as effective as the bullpups like the F2000 or L85A2 for moving while ADS firing.
most likely just a personal preference, people tend to stick with a gun that they "used to rock with" before patches and become attached to it :/
I don't think so, I think they're adding 10 like the last DLC. I did a frame by frame of the CQ Trailer and spotted about 7 guns: the TAR-21, SCAR-L, AUG, ACR, L86A1, LSAT and the SPAS-12, I think there's only 3 missing from my list
Dice is adding three new weapons in the Close Quarters add on coming in June to counsles idk about pc
when does you'r next short film come?
i know you are working on to films and how far haw you gotten on them?
(im sorry that you had to read my horible wroten english comment.. )
F2000 and KH2002 for sure, off the top of my head.
Just one problem with your review.

i loved this gun before the patch got around 18 service stars with it now i prefer the m416
@dagnut its really easy to get? Just hop in squad deathmatch and hope for some good teammates..
Chocolate time is most certainly not over
Bullpup in BF3 does not only give you a moving ADS speed bonus, but also accuracy bonus.
L85A2 > AK74, I cant understand why people use the AK, L85 is better in all ways possible.
Jack what's the name of the song/instrumental playing in the background?
JACK, are you doing anymore battle lols ? (please reply)
hey jack what do you use on m16a3 now post patch?
@MrHab142 use the .443 grach for upclose
Yay more jack!!!
do m16a4! it has less bullet spread than m16a3, and it is deadly accurate even while you move if you use heavy barrell
nah dude, it spazzes side to side sometimes, but it's easily controllable with burst firing it :)
Love this thing, no one uses it and I got 1100+ kills with it before the patch. Been workin' on other stuff now :/
They re adding 10 indeed. Every new DLC will include 10 weapons... If only cod could learn from that ^^
would you prefer this gun over the UMP?
FYI Foregrip lower the accuracy after the patch
Detailed info. Subscribed
you have to do the assignments, its the second assault assignment, need to get 100 AR kills/ 20 Grenade launcher kills/ and win 5 rounds of SQD Deathmatch
Try a flash suppressor alone on it. It's a laser.
I use only American Red Dot and I have 12 service stars. I do this because I need that long range accuracy, but I do run around with it so yeah
Assault: L85A2
Engineer: G36c
Support: M60E4
Recon: M40A5 (or M40A3, not sure which model it is)
The result? Carnage on my behalf. >:D
How will that weapon act without Forgrip?
This friday 100% :)
Are there any other bull-pop riffles?
tell me about it! I tried hunting him down but he aims so fast it's crazy, had to just carry on with the game.
I love this gun, but i absolutely despise squad deathmatch.
HAHA "THE WAY YOU PLAY WITH THEM" WHY AM I LAUGHING???!!
my fav gun
Confused, you get the L96 in B2K aswell!
Its a shame that you haven't got it already :o
well done review.
you need to have Back to Karkand than you need 10 revives; 10 heals;100 kills with assault rifles; 20 Kills with underslung M320; and win 5 rounds of squad deathmatch.
@Dakuba12 10... 10 new weaopons. And ofc it isnt different on pc, dice gives pc moar
