Golden weapon along with golden bullets?? You'd better invest in your own business. Yeah-yeah, we know you are Tony Stark.

—Weapon description in the Gallery

This article describes the Pixel Gun 3D weapon. If you're looking for the same weapon in Pixel Gun World, see Golden Friend (PGW).

The Golden Friend is a weapon introduced in the 10.2.0 update of Pixel Gun 3D. It was originally available as a rare prize from the Lucky Chest, but now, it requires obtaining 250 parts of this weapon to fully earn it.

Description[]

It is a golden Machine Gun with enhancements that shoots like a machine gun. It has somewhat decent mobility and has a high rate of fire, just like the Machine Gun but deals incredible damage even for higher leveled players, and has a fair capacity for the type of weapon it is.

Appearance[]

This is a golden reskin of the default machine gun. It has a green laser pointer which serves of no use in-game and has a optic on it. The gold color is actually a pale yellow and unlike the other golden weapons in pixel gun. However the handguard, grip, and barrel are the only parts of the weapon that's black.

Performance[]

This weapon is a standard automatic gun. It has no special attribute. This can be used as a powerful version of the machine gun, with an optic for accuracy. Try to avoid engaging with users at close range too much as this is reckless and will most likely get you destroyed by a shotgun or heavy spammer.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • Aim for the head to maximize the damage of this weapon.
  • This weapon is incredibly accurate, and is best used at long ranges.
  • If you want this weapon to be even more efficient, use the maximum upgraded Storm Trooper Cape, and the Burning Tiara and the Hunter's Altar and get headshots.
  • It has high ammo, but burns through them quickly, take advantage of its fast reload
  • The scope can be useful for encountering enemies at long range.

Counters[]

  • Jump and run around with a weapon with 85+mobility to avoid getting hit by too many shots while trading blows with an SMG or rifle.
  • Alternatively, this weapon deals low damage per shot, so charge the user with a close-range weapon, such as the Acid Shotgun or the Shotgun Pistol.
  • Avoid fire from this weapon by taking cover behind an object or by fleeing from the user while using a weapon with a high fire rate.
  • Although this deals decent damage, the other stats are like the Machine Gun. Use this to your advantage.
    • However, keep in mind that this weapon does have a scope.
  • Use a 1 shot sniper such as the Anti-Champion Rifle to quickly decimate it's users before you take damage.

Recommended Maps[]

Equipment Setups[]

Have a Backup weapon with a high fire rate, due to the fact that this weapon can easily run out of ammo. Although a very excellent substitute for one, bring in a good sniper with a 10x zoom for long-range duels. It is also recommended to bring in a good close range weapon, flamethrowers are ideal but an excellent close range backup would be something like the Shotgun Pistol, etc.

Trivia[]

  • The Golden Friend is one of the four weapons exclusive to the Lucky Chest, the others being the Candy Baton, the Power Claw, and the Spark Shark.
    • The Golden Friend is the rarest out of the 4 chest-exclusive weapons.
  • As with its regular counterpart, the Golden Friend is based on the real world Heckler & Koch MP5A2, as evidenced by the weapon's fixated stock.
  • The Golden Friend is given in different efficiency rates depending on the level, but the rest of the stats stay the same.
    • Even if the efficiency stats are different, they all do around the same amount of damage.
  • This weapon is easier to get at lower levels for some reason.
  • Despite this weapon being a reskin of the Machine Gun with modified statistics and an added scope, this is the only golden skin weapon that cannot be purchased through leagues.
    • There are also numerous other weapons with golden skins, but they have a "different kind of gold", which is the gold that does not shine, such as the "Predator".
    • This may be an oversight from the developers because the Machine Gun was originally called "Best Friend".
    • It is an improved version of its counterpart, the Machine Gun.
  • In the Gallery, when previewed, instead of being slightly curved (around like 10-20° counterclockwise), the Golden Friend is viewed being rotated to 120° counterclockwise and obstructs the first two letters of the word "Golden"), as you can see from the right image.
  • The Gallery quote mentions that this weapon has golden bullets, but then being golden doesn't really have an effect to the weapon, since they are practically regular bullets.
  • The Gallery quote also mentions Tony Stark, who is the real name of Iron Man.
  • It is a reskin of Machine Gun.
