## Info

The Glock is used in close-range combat against vulnerable Players. Due to the damage-reducing nature of armor paired with the G18C's low damage, the gun is not neccesarily viable late-game as a single bullet may only deal 5 damage against a Level 3 Vest. The G18C is very inaccurate, rendering it ineffective at longer ranges. The G18C is a very common gun, like the OT-38 and the M9, and can be found almost anywhere. The Dual G18C’s have one of the highest fire rates, but it has a wide spread, and burns through heaps of ammo, and can be useless at times. However, it has an very high DPS if you manage to land enough shots.

## Strategies

### Using

* The G18C can be useful against opponents with low health or unarmed encounters early-game. But is generally not viable late-game due to its low damage and clip size.
* It uses a lot of Ammunition, and it is very inaccurate, which leads to many wasted shots. Keep an eye on ammo reserves.
* Since the G18C is a Pistol, they 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 higher spread than most shotguns. Dual-wielding the G18C also severely increases the reload time.
* 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 expecting the large spread of the bullets, and they will often ricochet. It is also useful for destroying cover.
* If you want to use a spray weapon, it is advised to swap out Dual G18Cs for a MAC-10 because of its long reload. The MAC-10 does more damage, less spread, and almost the same amount of rounds.
* Dual G18Cs are one of the Weapons in the game with a very high rate of fire. 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.
* Use “dual” dual 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.

### Countering

* Stay far away, as this gun doesn't have a very long range.
* If your enemy has Dual G18C, go for the kill when they're reloding, because Dual G18C's have a very long reload time.
* Use quick firing shotguns such as the MP220 and the Saiga-12 to kill them before they deal too much damage.
* The bad range and spread of the G18C makes 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 to the M416. This is done because of copyright issues.
	+ Its internal ID is still "glock".
* 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), 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.
* The G18C is the third pistol in-game 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.
