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.
 * As with its regular counterpart, the Golden Friend is based off of the real world Heckler &amp; Koch MP5A2, as evidenced by the weapon's fixated stock.
 * There is a chance of getting the Golden Friend in different lethality rates, but the rest of the stats stay the same, like you can get it's lethality to 25, being the max.
 * Even if the lethality stats are different, they all do around the same amount of damage.
 * In the 11.0.0 update, this weapon's lethality stats were nerfed to 10.
 * But the lethality was changed to 25 in the 11.3.0 update.
 * In the 11.1.0 update, this weapon was given the "shine" like other golden skin weapons had.
 * Despite this weapon being a reskin of the Simple 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".
 * The name does not make much sense for being a reskin of the Simple Machine Gun.
 * This may be an oversight from the developers because the Simple Machine Gun was originally called "Best Friend".
