In the dynamic world of Fortnite, weapons are constantly reshuffled. One such example is the Red-Eye Assault Rifle, which survived the previous season but was vaulted within a week of the WILDS season. However, Epic Games wasted no time in introducing the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle as a replacement. This new addition comes with a guide to help players locate it and understand its unique features in contrast to the MK-Seven Assault Rifle from the previous chapter.
How to Find the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle
The MK-Alpha Assault Rifle is readily available for players to acquire in various ways. It can be found in regular and rare chests, floor loot, Combat Cache drops, and vaults. It is also possible to obtain it through vending machines by purchasing it with gold, or by using keys to unlock specific areas. With its wide availability, players can easily add this powerful weapon to their arsenal.
Since the loot in the game spawns randomly, players just have to keep scouting locations and landmarks for it, and it shouldn't take too long to come across it.
MK-Alpha Assault Rifle Compared to the MK-Seven Assault Rifle
While the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle may bear a striking resemblance to the MK-Seven, its unique set of statistics distinguish it from its counterpart. Despite similar names and appearances, the MK-Alpha is a distinct weapon in its own right.
Base Stat | MK-Alpha Assault Rifle | MK-Seven Assault Rifle |
---|---|---|
Damage | 22 | 18 |
Headshot multiplier | 1.5x | 1.5x |
Magazine size | 30 | 35 |
Fire rate | 7 | 9 |
Reload time | 3.85s | 3.4s |
The Red-Eye Assault Rifle, which has now become highly sought after, boasts a faster reload time and a higher damage per shot compared to the MK-Alpha. However, its fire rate is only half of that of its counterpart. For players who do not find the new weapon to their liking, there are other assault rifle options available in Chapter 4 Season 3. The Thermal DMR, although slow in firing, is perfect for the jungle season with its thermal vision scope. Alternatively, the Havoc Suppressed Assault Rifle is a great choice for players who prefer faster and scopeless weapons.
