This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- When deciding between the MK-Alpha and the MK-Seven Assault Rifle, keep in mind that despite slower fire rate and smaller magazine, the MK-Alpha has more power at range than the MK-Seven.
- The MK-Alpha, like the MK-Seven, can be used for cover fire in team modes, and because of its red dot, can be very useful for taking multiple engagements quickly.
- Compared to the MK-Seven, the MK-Alpha has more vertical recoil, but much less horizontal, making it more accurate by default.
Counters[]
- Much like its MK-Seven counterpart, the MK-Alpha suffers from poor hipfire accuracy. Closing the gap between an opponent that is using an MK-Alpha using natural cover or builds is very beneficial.
- Also like the MK-Seven, the MK-Alpha has a longer than average reload time for an Assault Rifle, so an opponent with an MK-Alpha can easily be flanked while reloading, taking them by surprise.
