The Glock 18C, known in-game as the G18C, is an automatic 9mm pistol added January 30th, 2018 in the v0.2.3 "" update.

Info
It is useful for 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 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 therefore can be found almost anywhere.

Strategies

 * It Is Based on the Glock 18C
 * The G18C can be useful against opponents with low health or unarmed encounters early-game. It is not viable late-game due to its low damage and clip size, which is outmatched by most rifles.
 * 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 the Dual G18Cs, they can substitute for a shotgun. However, it chews through ammunition quickly with as many as 34 rounds. 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.
 * The bad range and spread of the G18C makes for an easy counter. Almost any gun can outmatch the G18C at long ranges.
 * 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.
 * The MP5 does even more damage, even less spread, and almost the same amount of rounds.l

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 "" update on June 21, 2018, along with the HK416 to the M416. This is done because of copyright issues (Glock is the name of the company).
 * 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 a challenge as it fires two, quick shots.
 * Its internal ID is still "glock".
 * The G18C is the third pistol in-game that can be spawned in dual as a single item.G18ccompare.jpeg
