With 20 rounds per magazine, the G3SG1 offers plenty of ammo for extended engagements.

  • Semi-Automatic Firing

The rifle’s semi-automatic firing mode allows for rapid, sustained fire, making it effective in both close and long-range engagements.

  • Versatility

The G3SG1’s balance of damage, fire rate, and accuracy makes it a versatile choice for various situations.

Weaknesses

  • Significant Recoil

The G3SG1 has a strong recoil pattern that can be challenging to control, especially during rapid fire.

  • Slower Movement Speed

The rifle’s movement speed is slower compared to other weapons, making it less mobile.

  • Lower Accuracy at Range

While effective at long ranges, the G3SG1’s accuracy decreases significantly compared to bolt-action sniper rifles like the AWP.

  • Cost

At $5000, the G3SG1 is one of the most expensive weapons in the game, making it a significant investment.

Recoil Pattern

The G3SG1’s recoil pattern is characterized by a strong vertical kick and a slight horizontal drift. Mastering this recoil pattern is essential for maintaining accuracy during sustained fire. Practice firing in controlled environments to get a feel for the recoil and learn to compensate for it.

Tips for Effective Use

  • Precision Shooting

Due to its high damage output, focus on landing precise shots to maximize the G3SG1’s effectiveness. Aim for the head to secure quick kills.

  • Controlled Fire

To maintain accuracy and conserve ammo, consider firing in controlled, single shots, especially at slightly longer ranges.

  • Positioning

Use the G3SG1’s high damage output and large magazine to hold angles and control key areas of the map. Its versatility makes it effective in both defensive and offensive positions.

  • Movement

While the G3SG1 is not the most mobile weapon, you can still strafe and counter-strafe to make yourself a harder target to hit. Utilize the scope for long-range engagements and switch to unscoped for closer combat if necessary.

  • Practice

Spend time in the practice range or deathmatch modes to get comfortable with the G3SG1’s recoil and handling. The more you use it, the better you’ll become.
