The red dot sight in Battlefield 2.
A red dot sight appears in Battlefield 2 on the AKS-74u, M4A1, SCAR-L, SCAR-H, and P90 weapons as an unremovable sight. Although the frame of the sight is different for each weapon (a Kobra sight for the AKS-74u, an Aimpoint M68 sight for the M4A1, SCAR-L and SCAR-H, and an FN micro red dot for the P90), the actual dot is the same amongst all of the different sights.

Trivia
- In Battlefield 2, the PLA QBZ-97 does not come with a red dot sight, making it the only Special Forces default weapon to not have a red dot.
- The Red Dot Sight in Battlefield 3 is referred in the game files as the RX01.
- The Red Dot Sight seen in the Battlefield 4 17-minute gameplay trailer shares the same appearance as the Trijicon RMR seen in Medal of Honor: Warfighter. If it is the same model, it most likely just a placeholder.
- However, this may also imply that the RMR sight will appear in Battlefield 4.
- The Red Dot Sight seen in the Battlefield 4 Angry Sea gameplay trailer reuses the same model from Battlefield 3.
