The USP Tactical is a GP Rare pistol that was released in the 8-06-08 Patch.

Overview
The USP Tactical is can only be obtained in the Supply Case MYST-G or through purchase at the rank of Colonel IV. It has a slightly faster firing rate and a built-in Suppressor, without the consequences of more recoil and lower damage. It has a small (non-functioning) laser sight attachment near the end of the barrel, and is mostly green and brown as opposed to the standard black.

The Tactical also has a 12-round standard Magazine, making it have a total of two more bullets compared to the original USP. It is considered by many regular pistols only players as the best Gear Point obtainable pistol, and can be classified as an overpowered weapon.

This gun is a usually a 3-4 hit kill with a decent fire rate, in addition to having very high accuracy, even when moving. Adding an extended magazine is suggested as it will give the weapon a 17 or 19 round clip. This gun is widely considered to be the second-best pistol in Combat Arms, next to its NX Rare variant, the USP Tactical SE.

On July 11, 2011, a 90 day duration USP Tactical was obtainable in the 3rd Anniversary Kalika Case.

Trivia

 * This pistol has served as a sidearm for the Special Forces, with the designation Mark 23. The accessories are supplied with the pistol, however use/attachment of them is at the soldier's discretion.
 * While the Mark 23 served as the basis of the much lighter and less bulkier USP, they are in no way the same pistol. The USP is a full inch smaller and features a different barrel, frame and internals. However the accessories are interchangable.
 * The small box forward of the trigger is a laser. On the Mark 23, the standerd laser would be an AN/PEQ-6 LAM. However this laser has few aesthetical similarities with the AN/PEQ-6
 * Despite the stats being identical to the USP's, this pistol performs exactly the same as the USP Tactical SE minus 2 points of power.
 * This gun is famous in the "Metal Gear Solid" series, and resembles each other greatly, a reference? Perhaps.
