The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The firearm, designed by company founder Gaston Glock, entered Austrian military and police service in 1982 as the P80 after outperforming established competitors in reliability and safety tests.
- Despite initial market resistance due to its "plastic" construction, the Glock became the first commercially successful line of pistols with a polymer frame.
- The weapon uses the company's proprietary "Safe Action" system, which consists of three independent internal safety mechanisms: the trigger safety, the firing pin safety, and the drop safety.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Glock article was read about 970,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 96 and blocks with 87: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
How to get Glock
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
