## Description

The Lucky 7 is a futuristic SS quality pistol with a slot machine ability that allows the player to randomise between three attributes after the gun is reloaded. The abilities of the Lucky 7 are chose at random and some abilities can stack with one another. These abilities are:

* Lucky 7: This ability makes the user shoot multiple bullets in one shot like a shotgun, with the bullet spread in the shape of the number 7. Each bullet does 50% of the base power of the Lucky 7. Hitting multiple bullets at one person can one shot kill the player.
* Person Piercing: This turns the Lucky 7's bullets into a purple, player piercing lazer that can deal large amounts of damage to players. **When stacked with the Lucky 7 ability, it allows the player to shoot seven lazers.**
* Extreme Speed: This increases the user's movement speed drastically and is the weapon's most popular ability, the movement speed of the player is higher than a melee weapon with 2 S quality Movement Speed Up enchanted cards.

In gameplay the Lucky 7 is used unanimously among its owners, and most of the game's PvP development revolves around the use ofthis weapon.

## Gameplay Tips

When using the Lucky 7, it is preferable to use either Movement Speed up cards for bonus speed, Reload Up cards for reloading faster or other cards if you are using the weapon for combat rather than as a method of traversal. The Lucky 7 can replace melee weapons if you hold a melee weapon for movement speed. When rotating between abilities, make sure to pay close attention to the icons at the bottom left of your HUD, as these tell you what abilities you have unlocked.

The Dual UZI | 6Y Limit's movement speed buff stacks with the Lucky 7, if you kill a player with the Dual UZI and hold the L7, you will move extremely quickly.

When using the Lucky 7, it is best to switch to another weapon during reload and switch back to get a randomized ability immediately. It is much faster, however you will be less mobile or able to concentrate on fighting while doing so. It is best to use the L7 this way when hiding in cover.

## Fighting against L7

If you are fighting another L7 user, play in defensive positions that force the user to go into locations you can press like corrdiors or entries to buildings. If you have a good eye or are close to players, you can time your shots and attacks in time to when they are switching the weapon as they will be likely to choke and wont attack whilst switching weapons. If the player is lacking a speed buff, you can press their position to attempt a kill before they are able to switch to speed.

Use higher power weapons over higher accuracy weapons as their speed will make precise shots like SMG attacks harder unless you can accurately predict their move for a head shot. You can also try to keep the L7 user at a long distance, which therefore would make them switch to other weapons as the L7 is quite insufficient at far ranges.

## Appearance and Origin

The Lucky 7 is a purple futuristic revolver with a purple and silver theme with a tint of gold. On the grip of the pistol a number 7 hangs under it with a chain. The weapon's design is referencing a theme of gambling, where the number 7 is considered a number of good luck, and is a number that appears on slot machines. It is the second Anniversary themed weapon in the game.

## History

The Lucky 7 was initially released with a greater movement speed buff than the current. In version 10.0.1, the Lucky 7's Movement Speed was given a nerf. To date this gun is one of the few weapons to be announced a nerf, regardless the weapon is still considered to be one of the best weapons in the game.

The Lucky 7 is extremely popular and controversial at the same time. The special abilities it grants players allows advantages that non-owners are unable to have such as the ability to parkour between far ranges and having a faster base movement speed. In Season Mode, owning a Lucky 7 is a dominant trait and newer players who are unable to own one can have difficulty in facing another player who does own one. The L7 is considered 'overpowered' to some, whilst other players say that the weapon can be dealt with easily.

The Lucky 7's addition to the game and it's status as a limited edition weapon has increased the trend of trading player's accounts with one another in hopes of players owning an L7 or current owners being able to own multiple.
