The G36 is a German Assault Rifle. It is unlocked at rank 25, or it can be purchased with credits.

History

In 1990, Heckler and Koch (H&K) began working on a new 5.56×45mm NATO Assault Rifle, to replace the larger-caliber G3 battle rifle. The rifle was designed from the ground up and was designated "Project 50" or HK50. The prototype was trialed against the Austrian Steyr AUG, where it was rated better. The weapon was finalized in 1995, with production commencing a year later. The HK50 rifle was adopted by the German Bundeswehr in 1997 as its standard-issue rifle, under the designation Gewehr 36, or G36.

Multiple variants were derived from the original G36. Notable variants include the G36C, a sub-carbine variant and the MG36, a light machine gun variant which features a heavier barrel, bipod, and 100-round Beta C magazine.

In-Game

General Information

The G36 is only capable of automatic and semi-automatic fire. The weapon comes with a unique 4.0x magnification scope by default, higher than the AUG A1's default scope and the same level as the TA01 ACOG. Another similarity with the AUG A1 is that the G36 shares is the ability to switch between the default optic and an attached optic by pressing T. The G36 is an accurate, long-barreled weapon that also has very controllable recoil and a moderate rate-of-fire (RoF), although it is slower than some other assault rifles, like the FAMAS and AS VAL.

Thanks to its long barrel and aforementioned accuracy, this rifle has very low recoil per shot and can accurately fire off rounds on semi-auto to engage distant enemies. The telescopic sight issued with the G36 further improves its long-range accuracy. However, this scope also proves rather inaccurate when moving - equipping any other optic will mitigate this issue.

The G36 is generally much more effective at medium to long range. While it does have a high RoF, the mediocre hip-fire accuracy of the weapon means that engaging enemies without aiming is relatively ineffective. When firing the weapon in full-automatic, it is important to fire in controlled bursts as the weapon is very capable of burning through several magazines very quickly.

Finally, no suppressor for the G36 decreases the shots-to-kill (STK) number, meaning the weapon is a good candidate for a stealth build.

Usage & Tactics

While using the G36, one should keep in mind that it does not particularly excel at short range, but performs better at medium and long ranges. Due to this, close-quarters-combat (CQC) is not recommended with the G36. It would be preferable to switch to a secondary weapon in case such a situation arises.

The G36 comes with a default optic and is quite accurate at long ranges. One can use this to their advantage by concealing themselves and picking out enemies one by one, much like a designated marksman rifle. To further increase accuracy, users can opt for a Stubby Grip or Angled Grip. An important thing to note is that since the G36 has a fairly fast RoF, engaging at CQC range is still a viable tactic with this weapon should the user need to. Compared to the AUG A1, its faster RoF makes it easier to use against personal defense weapons and shotguns in CQC, since with its lower TTK, there is less time for enemies to react and counterattack. While the faster RoF also increases ammunition consumption, it can be kept to a minimum by tap-firing or switching to semi-auto at longer ranges.

Conclusion

While not as powerful as some assault rifles, the G36 is a very versatile one, with helpful additions like a default scope, good RoF, and good range. Though it may not be very attractive in the stock format, one can customize it to their needs.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Integral telescopic sight - press T to switch between an equipped optic and the G36's scope.
  • With no optic, press T to switch the magnification level of the G36's scope.
• Moderate damage-per-second (DPS) for its class.
• Low recoil per shot.
• Moderate recoil when firing full-auto.
• Good RoF.
• Good range for its class.

Cons:

• Default optic has a low field of view (FOV).
• Carry handle can obstruct a user's vision.
• Poor hip fire spread.
• Lacks backup iron sights.

Trivia

• Originally, when an optic was equipped on the G36, the carrying handle was removed. This is no longer the case.
  • Instead, the new sight is put on top of the carrying handle, allowing the player to switch from the default sight to the new sight by pressing T.
  • It is not incorrect to the actual G36 as it is optional for the G36. The carry handle can be easily removed to replace with other style of carry handle or other accessory systems.
• The German service G36 has a x3 magnification optic and a red dot optic on top.
• Prior to the 3.9.? update, the G36 lacked any alternative aim.
  • Currently, pressing T with no optic equipped changes the magnification level of the default scope.
• Prior to the New Steel Update, the Canted Iron and Delta Sights were horrendously misaligned.
