Thankfully, Epic Games immediately added a new weapon to replace this scoped assault rifle. Gamers will now be able to find the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle on the Battle Royale island. This will show them where they can go to find it and point out its differences compared to the last chapter’s MK-Seven Assault Rifle.
How to Find the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle
Since the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle has replaced a fairly decent common weapon, players won’t have too much trouble finding it on the map.
Gamers can find the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle in regular chests, rare chests, and floor loot. Additionally, they can also find it inCombat Cache dropsand vaults. It might also be purchasable with gold at vending machines or obtained with keys in locks.
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
The MK-Alpha Assault Rifle is very much like the MK-Seven but there are some differences. These weapons share a similar name and look nearly identical, but their stats are what truly set them apart.
Both MK Assault Rifles can be used in similar situations: medium to long range combat. However,MK-Alpha users are compensated for their precision rather than how many shots they fire from the weapon’s magazine. The MK-Alpha will deal more damage, but it has a slower magazine, fire rate, and reload time.

The now-vaulted Red-Eye Assault Rifle had half the MK-Alpha’s fire rate, but a significantly faster reload time and dealt more damage per shot.
Gamers that end up not enjoying this new weapon after trying it out still have a couple of other assault rifle options in Chapter 4 Season 3. Despite its slow fire rate, theThermal DMRfits the jungle season like a glove with its thermal vision scope, and players that prefer faster and scopeless weapons can opt for the Havoc Suppressed Assault Rifle.
