G18

}The G18 is an automatic pistol unlocked for at level 18.

Overview
The G18's damage is below average, usually taking a couple of shots to kill weaker enemies, and a few more to kill stronger enemies like the bulldozer. It has poor accuracy and has trouble killing enemies further away, even with tap firing (shooting a few bullets at a time).

Its ammo pool is the highest in its class, and its ammo pickup rate is very high, doubling with outlaw basic. Just be aware that because of its magazine size, fire rate, and low damage, the player might run out of ammo quite fast if they are constantly spraying.

Tips

 * Since this is a pistol, it can be improved with pistol skills under mastermind. This will improve the G18 significantly to be viable for a loud build.
 * The damage can be further improved with a silencer and Specialized Killing under ghost.
 * Because of this weapon's high concealment, the player can equip a suppressor and be used for stealth.
 * This weapon can be effectively used to refill sentries due to its above average ammo pickup rate.

Conclusion
The G18 is a great starting weapon and is very useful for restocking sentries, but has a reduced effect on nightmare difficulty due to its low damage output and range (even with skills). Regardless, it is still a good pistol to use in conjunction with pistol messiah.

Trivia

 * This weapon used to have the one of the highest concealments in the game.
