G17 (scoped)

Edit on GitHub

The G17 (scoped), also known as the Scoped Glock or simply G17, is an automatic pistol that was added in the v0.12.0 "Trick-or-Tweak" update on October 29th, 2023. It has very low bullet damage and DPS, but infinite ammo and a speed boost when holding.

Strategies

Using

• On the Halloween 2023 map, the G17 is a very common drop from Pumpkins.
  • It is worth getting one early to speed up looting.
• The G17 can also be used to escape from players if you are about to die.
  • Conversely, you can keep a G17 as your secondary gun to chase down other players.
• Use the G17's speed boost to strafe and dodge your opponent's bullets.
  • This can often waste entire magazines with little damage.
  • You can also use the speed boost to get up close with a high-DPS melee weapon such as a K-bar.
  • In addition to melee weapons, SMGs and shotguns also work well paired with a G17.
• Don't use the G17 during the final circle, as the small area restricts movement and negates the speed boost advantage.

Countering

• As aforementioned, you can keep a G17 as your secondary gun to chase down other G17 users.
  • Later in the game, as the circle is getting small, the G17's speed boost is not as valuable. Consider dropping it for a better secondary weapon.
• The G17 has very low damage per bullet and DPS, so unless the opponent runs away, they can be beaten with nearly any weapon, even a G19.
• Use a high-DPS CQC (Close Quarters Combat) weapon such as a ARX-160 or a Micro Uzi. The accuracy will make it easier to hit your opponent. Shotguns can also work well.
• G17 users are often not as aware of their surroundings, especially if they have an 8x or 15x scope. Try and blow up smoking Barrels or Super Barrels to kill or weaken them.
• Hide behind covers, as the G17 has a terrible obstacle DPS.

Obtaining

The G17 has currently been obtainable in only two events.

• On the Halloween 2023 map, it had a 95% chance to drop from a Pumpkin.
• The G17 was also rarely acquired during the Suroi Weapon Swap Event upon killing another player with any gun.

Trivia

• Despite having infinite ammo, the G17 uses the "6mm BB" ammo type. This confirms that the G17 is an airsoft gun shooting orange airsoft BBs.
  • This means that the G17 is an airsoft version of the real-life Glock 17.
• The brightly-colored tracers are caused by a tracer unit that has been mounted to the gun's muzzle.
• At only 2, the G17 has the least damage per bullet of any gun in Suroi, ignoring the radio.
