The **Glock 18C**, known in-game as the **G18C**, is an automatic 9mm Pistol added January 30th, 2018 in the v0.2.3 "*Glock n' spiel*" update on January 20, 2018.

## Info

The G18C is a very common gun, much like the OT-38 and the M9, and can be found almost anywhere. It uses 9mm Ammunition and can be dual-wielded. Dual G18C's have one of the highest fire rates in the game, but they have a wide spread and burn through heaps of ammo. It can be considered a MAC-10 but with a higher DPS and wider spread.

## Pros and Cons

### Pros

* Very common
* High DPS
* Quick reload (when wielding only one)
* Can be dual-wielded
* Great for flushing out metal-plated areas (or areas where bullets can rebound)

### Cons

* Burns through ammo
* Low accuracy mid to long range
* Easily countered
* Small magazine
* Long reload time (when wielding dual G18Cs)
* Impossible to use outside of shotgun range

## Strategies

### Using

* The G18C can be useful against nearby opponents with low health or unarmed encounters early-game. But it is generally not viable late-game due to its low damage and magazine size, along with the fact many fights are taken long to mid range late-game.
* It uses a lot of Ammunition, and is very inaccurate, which leads to many wasted shots. Keep an eye on ammo reserves.
* Since the G18C is a Pistol, it can be dual-wielded. Due to the wide spread of Dual G18Cs, they can substitute for a Shotgun. However, it chews through Ammunition quickly with as many as 34 rounds and has a higher spread than most shotguns. Dual-wielding the G18C also severely increases the reload time. It also has lower damage per shot than buckshot shotguns, such as the Saiga-12 and the M870.
* This is useful for spraying and at close range wherein you can kill someone without a great aim.
* It's also effective for destroying opponents where there are a lot of surrounding walls or when inside a building, as the opponent has a harder chance of avoiding the large spread of the bullets, and they will often ricochet
* Dual G18Cs have a very high fire rate. This allows for short and quick fights.
* The Dual G18Cs are very useful in squads since you can hit several enemies at once.
* Hide in a bush or between two trees, and when someone walks by, ambush them. If they don't die, then finish them off with your secondary weapon or melee weapon.
* Use "dual" dual (two G18C duel wielded) G18C as while having a ridiculous reload time for both guns, you will be able to kill almost everyone if you can get close enough.
	+ This is only advised for skilled players as this is very dangerous since you can easily be picked off by Sniper Rifles and can be countered by Shotguns.
* Dual G18Cs should be considered an entirely new weapon, as they are far different from a single G18C. If battling in close combat (such as in a bunker), Dual G18Cs can win almost any battle, even against weapons such as a Vector. Although the MP220 will prove to be a challenge as it fires two quick shots.
* On the Cobalt Map, classes such as the Tank and Assault are good matches for this gun, as a Tank can use Endless Ammo to shoot without worrying about running out of ammo, and Hollow-points and Firepower allow bonus damage and a larger magazine size, so you can run through entire squads very quickly.

### Countering

* Stay at a medium distance away, as this gun doesn't have a very long range.
* If your enemy has Dual G18C, go for the kill when they're reloading because Dual G18C's have a very long reload time of 3.8 seconds.
* Use quick-firing shotguns such as the MP220 or the Saiga-12 to kill them before they deal too much damage.
* The poor range and spread of the G18C make for an easy counter. Almost any gun can outmatch the G18C at long ranges.
	+ Vectors are especially good at this as they have a very high fire rate, tighter spread, and decent range, meaning you could attack them from far away.

## Trivia

* In terms of DPS, dual-wielded G18Cs are second only to MP220 and Frag Grenades at close range.
* G18Cs have a small size but can fire faster than the MAC-10 and even the Vector while dual-wielded.
* The icon for the G18C does not have an ejection port. It could be on the other side, but that would mean that the fire-mode selector would be on the visible side.
* It was originally called "Glock 18C", but this was changed in the v0.4.2 " *Sun's out, guns out*" update on June 21, 2018, along with the HK416, which was changed to the M416. This was done because of copyright issues.
	+ Its internal ID is still "Glock".
* The G18C is one of 4 pistols that can be spawned in dual as a single item. It spawns this way in the Scout Class Pod and the Golden Eye Chest, which is in the basement of the Alternate Barn.
* In real life, The Glock 18 is a variation of the Glock 17 that can achieve automatic fire.
* During 50v50, the Recon will spawn with dual G18Cs, as well as a full bag of 9mm ammo.
