Osirish's Points The Negatives #1 It is not a good primary! - It’s not meant to be used as a primary; you should have another gun in your pack and switch around. #2 The FOV while using it scoped is bad. - As are almost all scopes. From my experience the L85 is one of the better FOV scoped guns. #3 The weapon can be zeroed but doesn't seem as accurate as other assault rifles. - Same answer to #1. #4 It is not SD and agroes zeds, so it is not the best secondary weapon either. - There aren't many SD guns, however; the audible range is only 80meters which is average for the assault rifles. #5 Its large scope reduces FOV in first person. - Better then running with an AS50. #6 Target acquisitions with it is poor. - Not sure what you mean but being able to obtain a target with it is extremely easy. #7 Switching between NV, IR, and normal vision takes time to adjust and leaves you vulnerable. - I have no trouble going from normal vision to IR. It’s only apparent when changing from NV straight to IR or normal to NV but then that's the same as just putting on NVGs The Positives #1 It has IR - That is the whole point of using the L85. #2 It takes Stanag rounds - It's nice they are rare but you should carry more sniper ammo around instead. Personally The L85 is the best weapon in combination with a sniper rifle and team work gun in the game. You should never use it as a primary weapon but should keep a sniper rifle or assault rifle in your bag to switch over once you have spotted a target. In my group of friends we have two of us using L85's (Found from crash heli's and killing people). The best way to use the L85 is to go to the outer edge of towns overlooking them (Make sure you are < 250meters out of the town, so you don't spawn Zeds) then watch the town with the IR as soon as you spot a heat source from a Zed, you can scan the area and be able to find someone. Once you've spotted them, either you or your friend can switch to their sniper rifle and kill the target. Another good point about the L85 is the laser targeting with NVG's makes it ideal for team work at night.
