Looking for a mid-range and long-range Fortnite weapon? Epic Games now has a new version of an old weapon in store for you: the MK Alpha Assault Rifle.
The old Fortnite fans among you can certainly still remember the MK7. This weapon was first added in Chapter 3 Season 1. It is a fast, fully automatic rifle.
When the player aims, it uses a red dot sight instead of zooming slightly and staying in third person. This allows for greater accuracy, but the recoil of the gun must be controlled.
This feature quickly made the weapon a fan favourite, however it hasn't been in the game since Chapter 3 Season 3. Until now. Because with the last small patch, the MK7 unexpectedly came back into the game under a new name, MK-Alpha Assault Rifle.

MK-Alpha Location: How to get the new weapon
Yep, you see right. There will also be a mythical version of the weapon coming to the game. There will be a new boss in Fortnite, the Wild Guard Relic. If you defeat him, he will drop you the Mythic MK Alpha Assault Rifle. However, we don't yet know exactly when he'll be coming to the island this season.
Fortunately, all other versions of the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle are available everywhere on the island. The rifle can be found on the ground and in chests.
So you shouldn't have any problems getting the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle in Fortnite, but of course the rarer copies are harder to find, so it pays to know all the locations of the upgrade benches in Chapter 4 Season 3.
