G18C

The Glock 18C, now known as the G18C in-game, is a fully automatic Pistol in surviv.io that uses the 9mm Ammo, added in the update on Jan. 30, 2018.

Summary
It is useful for close-range combat against vulnerable players. Due to the damage-reducing nature of armor paired with the 18C's low damage, the weapon is not viable late-game as a single bullet may only deal 5 damage against a Level 3 Vest. The G18C is very inaccurate and is not useful for heavily armored players.

Strategies

 * 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 the AK-47 or M416.
 * It uses a lot of ammo, and it is very inaccurate, which leads to many wasted shots. Keep an eye on your ammo reserves.
 * Since the G18C is a pistol, you can hold two in one weapon slot simultaneously. Due to the wide spread of the Dual G18Cs, they can substitute for a shotgun, but chews through ammunition quickly, with slow reloads in-between.
 * As said above, you can dual-weld this pistol. If you are in very close range, you can absolutely obliterate your opponent.

Countering

 * The most obvious one is long range battles because of the low accuracy and range of the G18C.
 * It's hard to use cover like Trees and Rocks for cover because of the huge spray that can hit you on both sides, so try to get bigger obstacles and do the fire and hide strategy (Visit the Surviv Help Center)

Pros

 * High fire rate
 * Can be dual wielded
 * Decent reload as a single
 * When dual wielded, the DPS doubles and can completely disintegrate a player if in close range

Cons

 * When dual wielded, the reload time doubles and the reload time becomes unsuitable for combat
 * Limited range
 * Low DPS as a single

Rarity
The G18C is a very common gun along with the OT-38 and the M9, and can be found almost anywhere.

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, Gun's Out Update", in 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.
 * Its internal ID is still "glock".
 * This also applies to other games, such as PUBG.
