The Space Glick creates a familiar moment of doubt: its stat card mirrors the standard Glick almost line for line. That’s intentional. The differences aren’t about raw damage — they’re about attachment flexibility, a slight handling tweak, a unique unlock path, and how its bullets interact with specific enemy types.
Glick vs. Space Glick (key differences)
| Aspect | Glick | Space Glick |
|---|---|---|
| Caliber | S (Light) | S (Light) |
| Base damage / shoot speed / mag / reload | 14 / 7 / 13 / 1.1s | 14 / 7 / 13 / 1.1s |
| Bullet speed | 68 | 68 |
| Range | 17 | 16.5 |
| Critical damage factor | 1.2 | 1.2 |
| Aim move factor | 0.4 | 0.5 |
| Attachment slots | 1 (Muzzle) | 3 (Muzzle, Tactical, Magazine) |
| Crafting | Craftable (5 Weapon Parts) | Not craftable |
| Unlock / purchase | Used in multiple early quests | Reward from Xiaoming’s “Soul Infusion”; purchasable from Xiaoming after “Technical Upgrade” |
| Ammo type | Small physical (S) bullets | Small physical (S) bullets (“space bullets” label only) |
| Other notes | — | Negative Effect Probability: 0 |
On paper, these pistols are near twins. The two functional departures you’ll actually feel are the extra attachment real estate on the Space Glick and the slightly higher aim move factor (you can strafe a bit faster while ADS). Range drops by 0.5, which is negligible in real play.
Ammo and damage behavior
Despite the flavor text about “space bullets,” the Space Glick still chambers standard small physical S ammo. You feed it the same rounds you’d load into the base Glick (for example, Rusty Bullet S or higher‑tier S ammo); it does not use small energy rounds.
In combat, the “space” damage tag matters against specific targets. Space Glick shots register as space/storm damage on certain enemies and are notably effective on storm creatures and a late‑game boss. This isn’t an armor bypass: armored enemies still require armor‑piercing S ammo to bring time‑to‑kill down.
Attachments and builds
This is the biggest practical advantage. The base Glick only takes a muzzle. The Space Glick adds two more slots (Tactical and Magazine), which opens three helpful paths:
- Recoil and sighting stability via muzzle plus a laser/light in Tactical.
- Sustain via a Magazine upgrade (capacity or reload behavior, depending on what you find).
- Hybrid handling: pair a stability muzzle with a Tactical attachment, then use the slightly better aim move factor to stay mobile while ADS in close‑quarters.
Because damage, rate of fire, and bullet speed are the same, attachments are where you meaningfully shape how the Space Glick feels.
How to get the Space Glick
- Finish Xiaoming’s “Soul Infusion” to receive your first Space Glick.
- After completing “Technical Upgrade,” you can buy additional Space Glicks from Xiaoming at the Tech Center in the Bunker.
The base Glick, by contrast, can be crafted from 5 Weapon Parts and is required for several early quests. You’ll also need to submit multiple Glicks during Xiaoming’s line, so crafting spares is a smart move before you chase the Space variant.
When to use each
- Pick the Glick when you want a cheap, craftable sidearm you can lose and replace without thinking, or when you need it for quest turn‑ins.
- Pick the Space Glick when you’re fighting storm creatures or tackling the late‑game boss, or when you want a more configurable pistol with three attachment points.
Remember: neither version ignores armor. If a target is plated, load AP S ammo — the Space Glick’s damage type doesn’t change that requirement.
If you’ve been staring at the stat lines wondering what you’re missing, you’re not. Treat the Space Glick as a sidegrade with situational upside: same core performance, better build options, a small ADS movement boost, and a damage type that helps in storm content.
