Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3[]
The BTR-80A makes its return in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. They are common throughout the campaign and are seen in almost every level featuring the Russian military.
Call of Duty: Ghosts[]
Multiple BTR-80As are seen in No Man's Land, where the player has to sneak past them. Later, a BTR-80A appears briefly in Clockwork.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare[]
A BTR-80 appears in Embedded, firing at the player after the backpack explosion just beforehand.
In "Wolverines!", if the player stands right in front of the BTR, it will not shoot the player.
The BTR-80 models in Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 3 and Ghosts are actually BTR-80As. The main difference between them is the new turret on the BTR-80A with 30 mm 2A72 automatic cannon instead of 14.5 mm KPVT machine gun found on BTR-80.
The BTR-80A has a Romanian flag on the rear of the vehicle.
The symbol on the side of the BTR-80A resembles the Linkin Park logo.
