In the evening, there are a few thin rays of light in the sky, like a newly polished dagger, slanting on the horizon. You sit in front of the window, and you can hear the wind coming from afar, and you can also hear the gunshots in the game. The gunshots are dense and rhythmic, like raindrops hitting the iron roof. They are another language of the world.
In this game called “UBG Mobile”, guns are not cold numbers, not cold iron, but heavy choices.
You met two guns: one is AUG and the other is M4. They are placed in the corner of the dilapidated house, lying in the light and shadow of the sun and dust, like two silent veterans, waiting to be held again.
AUG used to be a weapon in the airdrop. At that time, it was like some kind of mysterious gift, you had to chase it through the hail of bullets and risk your life. It is rare and proud. However, after the 2.8 version update, it changed. It was put in the corner of the map, standing side by side with those ordinary guns.
It is no longer rare. It has become a thing that everyone may encounter.
But its change is not only a change in status, but also a change in its temperament. The damage of AUG is now 41, the same as that of M4. This is superficial equality. But everyone knows that the true character of the two guns is more than that.
The recoil of AUG has been reduced a lot after the update. Its vertical recoil has been reduced by 20%, and its horizontal recoil has been reduced by 10%. This is a meaningful change. It has become gentle and steady, like a once unruly teenager who has become calm after the wind and rain. He no longer makes you work hard to tame him, but when you need him, he will firmly hold your hand.
What about M4? It is familiar, like a path under the old tree at the door of your home. Countless dusks, it has accompanied you through, and the gravel under your feet has become part of your memory. Its recoil is slightly higher, but the reload is one second faster. This second, at the most intense moment of gunfire, may be the distance between life and death.
The bullet speed of AUG is still 900 meters per second, slightly faster than M4. This little bit of speed may allow your bullet to reach the enemy’s chest first in a silent confrontation. This is not a numerical superiority, but an early arrival – it comes with a certain calmness, like spring coming a day earlier than you expected.
These changes may only be experienced by those who are attentive.
You will pick up this AUG behind a wooden door in an uninhabited village one morning when the fog has not yet dissipated. At that moment, the sun shines in, and you can see that its metal surface reflects a light that is not dazzling, which is quiet and almost gentle.
You will slowly realize that it is no longer a legendary name, it is a partner you can really rely on. It does not need you to look up, but hopes to fight side by side with you.
Of course, it is not common. It is still rare, like a small flower quietly blooming in the mountains, and it takes some luck to meet it. It is not as popular as M4, but it is there. It is willing to wait for you.
And what are you waiting for?
You may still be hesitating whether to give this once unattainable gun a nice skin. This is not vanity, but an agreement between you and it. You hope it looks better, and you also hope that you can be a little special on the battlefield. You will use UC to exchange, but where does UC come from? Maybe Treabar can help you spend less money and get more choices. This is just a process, like an account in life, simple and important.
You continue to walk in the game map, the wind blows through the wheat fields, and time flows through your fingertips. You don’t know if you will meet AUG again next time, and you don’t know if M4 can still bring victory. But you know that you once chose and believed.
And this is the meaning of everything.
