Laser Sight

The Laser sight appears in Left 4 Dead 2 as a tool used to enhance the targeting on all weapons. The laser is the concept of the LLM01 laser sight. The laser can be attached to any Primary Weapon.

The laser sight cannot be transferred to other weapons or the exact same weapon once the player changes their gun. An example is having a laser sight-equipped to an auto shotgun and picking up another auto shotgun; the new auto shotgun will not have a laser sight.


 * In this video, flashes of a laser sight can be seen coming out of Rochelle's sub-machine gun before and after getting attacked by the Jockey.
 * This video features a laser sight gameplay, which confirms that it increases your weapon's accuracy when equipped.
 * While having the laser equipped, it is possible to use your flashlight as seen in the video above.
 * While also enhancing accuracy by keeping the cross-hairs tighter, there is a psychological effect of seeing the red dot, which also generally helps reduce friendly fire.
 * If equipped to a Hunting Rifle Or Sniper Rifle, it makes no difference to its accuracy while stationary.
 * If equipped to the Silenced Submachine Gun, and the user is crouched and standing still, it will be as accurate as a Sniper Rifle when zoomed in.

Behind the Scenes
The laser sight was originally an upgrade in Left 4 Dead, but was unused in the final version. However, mods on the PC version allow the player to use upgrades, which lets players use the laser sight in Left 4 Dead.

Accessibility
The Laser sight is a very rare find. Players can often play most campaigns without spotting a laser sight at all. The only area that always has the laser sight is Whitaker's store. Swamp Fever also has a high chance of spawning laser sights if playing from start to finish. Since the sight cannot be transferred from weapon to weapon, the ideal solution is to equip it to a weapon the player intends to keep.
