The LAW 80 is a shoulder-launched one-shot anti-tank weapon, that can destroy a light or medium tank with one direct hit. Its rockets create a huge explosion, upon impact alerting nearby guards.

Project IGI[]

The LAW 80 is the most powerful weapon which can be wielded by the player ingame. It is primarily used to destroy enemy tanks and destroys them in a single hit. However it is capable of destroying all moving ground vehicles except the train. Usually, if there are tanks in a level, a LAW 80 will be present in order to destroy it, though is not always the case.

Despite this the LAW-80 cannot destroy or deal damage to any aircraft in the game. However in mission 4 GOD, a well aimed shot at the FRV Chopper's landing gear with a LAW-80 ( which can be obtained in this mission by modifying game files)causes the friendly soldiers to be thrown out of the UH-1 and several metal bars (resembling the landing gear) can be seen to fall out of the aircraft. There are no soldiers in the helicopter when it is near the enemy base(implying they all died). This is the closest a LAW-80 has been to damaging an aircraft in game.

The weapon has a dark green-brown color in the game, and can hold up to three rockets. In real life, however LAW 80 can only hold and fire a single rocket.

The 94mm rocket used by the LAW 80 consist of a High Explosive Anti Tank (HEAT) warhead and enough propellant to propel the rocket to a maximum distance of 400-450m .(depending on the inclination of the rocket.) After the propellant burns out, the rocket will be thrown around in a random direction before falling to the ground and detonating on impact. There is a chance for either the rocket or its explosion to strike the target even after the LAW-80's propellant burns out, although this depends on several factors such as the remaining distance between the target and the rocket when the propellant burns out, and the inclination of the flight path.

The LAW-80 is one of the most accurate weapons in game at long distances, owing to the reduced recoil produced by the HEAT warhead and its explosion which deals area effect damage which can still deal damage to the target within its explosive radius, even if the LAW-80 does not directly strike the target.

IGI 2: Covert Strike[]

LAW 80 is only available in multiplayer mode. Just like its real life counterpart, LAW 80 in game can only carry a single rocket. After firing one rocket, the player throws it away. Its color has been changed to light green with "LAW 80" written on it.
