OverviewEdit

Before an update to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the Glock-18 was available to both teams. In the previous games however, it stills retains its status as a double-sided weapon. In these games, it is used almost exclusively by the Terrorists. In fact, it is fairly rare to encounter any Counter-Terrorists utilizing the weapon. Although it doesn't have any recoil, it loses precision when fired rapidly. Compared to the more expensive pistols, the Glock-18 sports inferior firepower and poor accuracy. For many, it is overshadowed by other, more flexible, handguns. For medium to long ranges, the semi-automatic mode increases accuracy while reducing damage output. When firing in burst mode, damage increases and overall accuracy suffers tremendously. The Glock is the cheapest firearm in the Counter-Strike series, costing only $200 in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and $400 in the previous iterations. In the first three Counter-Strike games, a Glock-18 user moves at 250 units per second, meaning they do not suffer any speed reduction. In Global Offensive however, a Glock-wielder moves at 240 units per second, slightly slower when compared to the older games. The Glock is also one of the many weapons capable of shooting underwater.

GameplayEdit

TacticsEdit

• For close quarters combat, switch to burst-fire mode and aim for the head. 
• If you encounter an enemy at medium, switch to semi-automatic fire.
• At long ranges, it may be smart to retreat or switch to a primary weapon (if one is available).
• Finishing off your opponent with burst-fire, in some situations, is easier and your best option.
• Make sure you occasionally take cover, especially with harassing enemies with a plethora of bullets.

CountertacticsEdit

• Use shotguns, submachine guns, or more powerful pistols when a user is nearby.
• Any full-automatic and/or long range weapon should be able to overwhelm a Glock. 
• If possible, simply avoid contact with skilled users at close ranges.

TriviaEdit

• The Glock was once to have a silencer, similar to the USP, as evidenced by incomplete animations in the Counter-Strike files. Those animations may be from Half-Life, where a silenced Glock was left in the files, but was unusable in the game.
• Even if the Glock fires a "burst" of one or two shots due to a low magazine count, the animation still shows three casings being ejected.
• This is one of two weapons in Counter-Strike with a burst feature, the other being the FAMAS.
• In Global Offensive, the Glock has a desert tan frame instead of its black one from the previous games.
• If equipped with the KM Sub-Machine Gun or Schmidt Machine Pistol, the Glock will share an ammo pool of 120 rounds with them. This is because all three weapons use 9mm Parabellum.
• Bots will never use the burst-fire of the Glock, preferring the semi-automatic mode instead.
• The Glock-18 model from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is reused from the dual-wielded Glock pistol in Left 4 Dead 2. However, it comes with newer textures, animations, and a slightly higher polycount.
