This is an era of change, and even the virtual battlefield is not immune.
One day, the update came. It changed everything we were familiar with without warning or asking for our opinions. AUG, a gun that was once only seen in airdrop boxes, now appears in the corner of the map. The “identity” of this gun has changed. It is no longer a “noble” existence. It has become ordinary and can be seen everywhere.
I didn’t believe it at first. In countless battles in the past, I chased airdrops for an AUG in a hail of bullets, and often fell under the enemy’s firepower before I got close. Now it can appear in the world like M4, which is surprising and makes people feel some indescribable emotions.
Maybe some things should not belong to only a few people.
After the update, I began to pay attention to this weapon. While I missed the past M4, I also tried to understand the new look of AUG. The damage of these two guns is the same, both 41. It seems that there is no difference, but details determine victory or defeat, victory or defeat is related to fate, and fate is never a simple multiple-choice question.
I noticed that the recoil of the AUG has been adjusted to be easier to control than the M4. Its vertical recoil has been reduced by 20% and horizontal recoil has been reduced by 10%, which means that people don’t have to suppress the recoil when shooting, and they are more relaxed. And what about the M4? It is still the familiar gun, stable, fast and flexible. The reloading speed is one second faster than the AUG, and this second may be the dividing line between victory and defeat in close-range firefights.
But this does not mean that the AUG has lost. Its bullet speed is still faster, at 900 meters per second, which is faster than the M4’s 880. Such a gap may be insignificant, but it can become a decisive advantage at certain moments. Just like a small choice in life, it becomes a turning point of fate many years later.
I am not a person who only cares about data. The performance of these two guns can be calculated. But I care more about the value behind them. For a player, a person who seeks order and balance in a virtual world, it is not a cold number, but a choice closely linked to the rhythm of life.
AUG can now be picked up on the map, and it is no longer an unattainable existence. What has changed? It breaks the level, allowing more people to have the opportunity to experience the stability and power that was once out of reach. Its performance in actual combat has undoubtedly exceeded many people’s expectations. But I know that many people still choose M4. They are familiar with it and trust it, just like a person is used to the friends around him, and even if the new friends are better, they are unwilling to change easily.
Trust, this is something beyond the gun, it is the accumulation of experience, the memory of battle, and the tacit understanding established on the brink of life and death.
Maybe we should try to accept change. Change is not to deny the past, but to give the future an extra choice. When we pick up AUG in a battle, we might as well put aside our obsession with M4 for the time being and try this once high-ranking weapon to see if it can still bring us confidence and strength as before.
Of course, if you want to make these weapons look better, you can also consider changing the skin. This is not vanity, but a recognition of self. When you are willing to invest in a weapon, it will also become different in your hands. This requires UC, and there are many ways to get UC. Some of them, such as Treabar, are faster and more affordable, and are worth a try.
I believe that no matter which gun you choose, as long as you master it with your heart, it will not let you down. And every battle in the game is like every choice in life. Only by going down to earth can you know what is the real victory that belongs to you.
