Glock 17

"Semi-auto pistol. Good damage with excellent handling." ― Description

The Glock 17 is an Austrian semi-automatic handgun. It is a fast handling pistol that can only be obtained via the Mystery Box.

The Glock 17 boasts great handling with a swift reload speed and can be considered a straight upgrade from the Beretta M9. It has a good magazine capacity and offers decent damage per shot, comparable to that of assault rifles. A high fire rate means that it can practically shoot as fast as the player can click and is further supported by its manageable recoil.

However, the weapon tends to fall behind the Desert Eagle in terms of raw damage potential. When it comes to saturating an area with bullets, it is unable to keep up with the fully-automatic fire of the TEC-9.

Despite its superior handling characteristics, the Glock 17 seems to fall off in viability much sooner when compared to the other possible handguns from the Mystery Box due to its lower damage output potential.

Pros & Cons[]

Pros:

Excellent handling with a fast and snappy reload.
High fire rate that shoots as fast as the player can click.
Controllable recoil even when spam fired.
Lightweight nature allows for unhindered mobility.
Can be used while downed.

Cons:

Lower damage output overall due to its semi-automatic fire.
Has to be acquired through chance from the Mystery Box.

Weapon Upgrade[]

When upgraded via the Pack-a-Punch machine, the Glock 17 becomes Synthetik Polymer.

With the EKO Cobra Module, the weapon is converted to fully-automatic fire and allows the user to move at 115% mobility when held.

In addition to the fully-automatic fire and increased movement speed, Synthetik Polymer benefits from increased damage. The upgraded weapon also gains an increased magazine capacity and a larger maximum ammunition reserve.
