M6A2

The **M6A2** is a pistol in BlastGen II. It appears in all modes.

## Campaign

The M6A2 is a common sidearm, being used by all factions, though the Phantom Company use the M93X much more than the M6A2. As such, ammo for this weapon is very common to find. In the SAS campaign, the M6A2 is commonly found with a silencer.

## Multiplayer

The M6A2 is unlocked at the start and is the first pistol unlocked, and the only semi automatic pistol. Being a starter weapon, the M6A2 is a rather weak weapon, but has good handling traits and mobility traits. The M6A2 deals about 30 damage per shot, netting a 4 shot kill, though considering the M6A2 is a pistol, it is good for finishing off weak enemies. It has a rather plentiful magazine of 15 rounds, which is average for its class. It also has above average handling traits, aiming down sights in about 0.35 seconds and has a rather low amount of kick and recoil. The M6A2 has a fire rate of about 400 RPM, which is faster than the HK12, but is still rather slow. The main advantage of the M6A2 is its much faster reload time, clocking in at roughly 1.65 seconds. This is faster than all other pistols and much faster than any other weapon in the game, making it one of the fastest reloading guns in the game. Despite this key reloading advantage, the M6A2 is still offset by its low damage, which makes it less reliable than other pistols, especially at close range. Though, headshots can reduce the total amount of shots taken to kill from 4 to 2.

As the M6A2 is a pistol, it has very little attachment options. The Suppressor lowers the sound of the weapon, allowing it to become a more stealthy weapon. However, the M6A2's damage is significantly impacted, being lowered to 25, requiring 4 shots to kill. This is one of the most lowest damage a weapon can deal with a Suppressor attached, as such this attachment is never recommended for use. Extended Mags increases the magazine size to 22 rounds, and considering the low amount of damage this weapon deals, having more ammo to work with is a good thing to have. The Laser Sight reduces hipfire spread, making it more suited towards close range. This, combined with Extended Mags, makes it a better weapon for close range. Despite the M6A2's seemingly weak damage, the M6A2 is by no means a bad weapon, and is good for finishing off enemies.

## Battle Royale

The M6A2 appears in Battle Royale as Common loot found either on the ground or in Loot Boxes. Unlike its Multiplayer variant, the M6A2 does much more damage, at 40 damage. However, it has a smaller magazine size of 10 rounds to counterbalance this. It is the only semi automatic pistol in Battle Royale, and as such, it is weaker than most other pistols. Though, in the right hands, it can be a broadly effective weapon, effectively downing a player in as little as 3-4 shots. It also has a faster fire rate of 500 RPM, which is much faster than revolver type pistols, which means the player can pull off quick followup shots with relative ease, though the player should be mindful, as the 10 round magazine can easily be burned through if the player fires too fast.

## Survival Mode

The M6A2 is the starting pistol in Survival Mode. It deals 50 damage, has a 12 round magazine, and has a large amount of reserve ammo. It is good for the lower rounds, as the enemies are generally weaker in the first 5 rounds. However, as the enemies' health increases with higher rounds, the player should purchase a stronger weapon or upgrade damage as soon as possible.

## Trivia
