G36K A1

The **G36K A1** (also known as simply the "**GK**") is a Rifle released around 2016. It is purchasable for  6000.

## Description

The G36K A1 is a popular, old rifle known for it's high effectiveness in tap-firing and it's very high damage output especially when maxed. It is usually considered a good rifle but only when used tap-fired and maxed out. Since it's release, it remains a very popular rifle.

It has great power, armor penetration, effective range, reload, and a good fire rate. However, the G36K A1 suffers from its poor accuracy compared to it's original counter part, the G36K, and many other system rifles. It has a mere 36 ammo each clip at Level 1, but has a high 58 ammo each clip at max.

The G36K A1 can easily kill an enemy in 3-4 shots, and with enough upgrades can guarantee a one-hit kill headshot. and cards with a quality of A or higher like Heroic Strike, Balanced Strike, Power Up can increase it's damage drastically. A Crack Shot enchant may also be useful to compensate for it's poor accuracy and increase it's long-range effectiveness. Combined with good damage or armor penetration boosting armor, it can 2-3 shot an enemy easily.

The G36K A1 is very unique of it's kind; many other rifles do not have similar stats or play styles to the G36K A1. This in turn has made this rifle very popular and fun to use.

## Gameplay Tips

It is first priority to max the G36K A1's Weapon Quality to S and Level to 7, to ensure it is fully effective and viable enough for more competitive gameplay.

### In-Game

It is best to fire this weapon when defending by tap-firing and moving slow or standing still or with a Crack Shot enchanted card. Using the G36K A1 at a medium to short range distance is recommended as it is very hard to get hits at a far range due to it's poor base and moving accuracy.

Like weapons such as the Defender, it can be good for taking out clear, unaware, and still opponents quickly. Standing still and tap firing at a clear and close opponent can quickly take them out with good skill and aim. Due the poor accuracy and fast pace this weapon will likely perform the worst for rushing tactics. The G36K A1 may be pre-fired, with it's large clip and high power, however the poor accuracy may make this tactic unoptimal.

### Armor

Accuracy boosting armor is most important for the G36K A1 to make it more easier to use and well-rounded, as it has poor base accuracy. It's best to have as much accuracy as possible, but at least +4 accuracy will make a difference. Power and Armor Penetration boosting armor is also be useful for extra damage and effectiveness.

There isn't much need for clip or effective range boosting armor; the G36K A1 has a good amount of ammo already and an already great effective range; 47.

### Enchanted Cards

The best cards for G36K A1 are Quality A+ Heroic Strike, Balanced Strike, Power Up, and Continuous Shot, for massive damage bonuses. With good accuracy-boosting armor and aim, a Long Range Strike may be useful. A Crack Shot card may be useful for long-range effectiveness.

## Appearance and Origin
