The '''ACB-90''', colloquially known as '''"The Boxcutter"''' is a melee weapon in ''Battlefield 3''. It is acquired after buying Battlefield Premium, and replaces the standard Knife. There is no functional difference between the ACB-90 and regular knife. It's also worth noting that it has its own kill message, "ACB-90" instead of "Knife." However, ACB-90 kills are still tracked as 'Knife' kills. It uses a crosshair reticle as opposed to the standard knife's dot reticle. The ACB-90 was based off the United M48 Kommando Survivor Guthook Knife.

*[[M224 Mortar|Mortar]] users are immune to takedown attacks—vehicle operators cannot be taken down, and the mortar is considered a vehicle for gameplay purposes. It is possible to provoke the user into exiting the mortar, although there is a slight risk of being struck by an outbound smoke mortar (the regular HEDP mortar round does not inflict damage until it falls).

*A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qm8UAMK9Ys glitch introduced after one of the 2012 patches] limited the number of consecutive takedowns to one, causing players to not attack for up to five seconds. It has since been patched in the October 11th server update.

*If caught in a takedown from certain angles, it is possible to counter the attempt with a Quick Knife attack. Certain animations will place the attacker's body in the victim's crosshairs, allowing the victim's knife attack to kill the attacker if already weakened below 50 health. A few of these even hit the attacker's head, permitting a headshot (2× 50 damage). Takedowns from behind cannot be countered, nor can takedowns made on crouching victims.

This may either be a case of latency causing both enemies to be caught in a takedown, or the "shot" from the takedown on one enemy also striking the second enemy.
