The L85A2 is selective fire gas-operated bullpup assault rifle, it has been the standard issue service rifle of the British Armed Forces. 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 400 meters and a fire rate of 750 rounds per minute.
Campaign[]
The L85A2 appears many times throughout the campaign, it mostly appears in missions involving the SAS due to it being their standard issue service rifle. The L85A2 is mostly seen "butchered" to futher increase it's effectiveness in close-quarter engagements. During the mission 'Salvation', "Titan" runs out of ammuntion for his MG4KE when trying to take down an enemy chopper, he picks up a L85A2 of a dead SAS commando and finally takes down the chopper with 6 precise shots.
Multiplayer[]
The L85A2 is unlocked at level 4 for the Special Air Service. The weapon bears numerous similarities to the M16A3 in terms of handling, with the same rate of fire and similarly moderatly low recoil but has a greater effective range. Due to it's bullpup configuration the L85A2 has a faster ads and the player can "stalk" faster. The SUSAT attachment will raise the recoil and ADS time, but does also grant the user a view on targets in medium range, as well as increased zoom, which can be more important in longer range engagements and eliminating snipers.

- ―In-game description
The L85A2 appears in Warzone: Shade.
Multiplayer[]
The L85A2 is unlocked at level 55 in multiplayer and the final weapon unlocked. It boasts the highest maximum damage and the lowest rate of fire of any automatic assault rifle in-game. Accuracy is average for an Assault Rifle, as automatic fire will cause the weapon to gradually rise.
The high maximum damage will drop off extremely quickly, losing its two shot killing power at a range even shorter than the M590A1. At a distance, the L85A2 will require no more than four shots, even when suppressed.
Its low fire rate make it less advantageous in close range engagements against submachine guns and shotguns, despite dealing heavier damage. Some of the lower recoil rifles may get the better at a distance as well, putting accuracy in high regard. For this reason, it is not advisable to put a Suppressor and engage at such ranges
Equipping the Muzzle Brake can extend the two shot ability a good distance away.
Reloads are the slowest of the Assault Rifle class.
