Bofors Defense Rifle

The Bofors Defense Rifle is a replacement for the SCAR 11 for players who pre-ordered Battlefield 2142 at Best Buy. It has the same stats as the SCAR 11, but a much bulkier appearance and different reload animations and sounds.

While some people loved it for the appeal, most re-installed their games without the Best Buy code because the weapon takes over quarter of the screen which is not only annoying, but can also lead to situations where you will not notice an enemy because you can't see him over your own weapon. Because of impracticality, lost Best Buy codes and people leaving the BF2142 community all together it is now extremely rare.

In the 2142 universe, the Bofors was an "insurance" alternative to SCAR 11 if the latter failed to meet the expectations.
