The new 'MK-Alpha' Assault Rifle has replaced the Red-Eye in all playlists at all rarities. The new weapon is an updated version of Chapter 3's MK-Seven AR, but with some small changes:
- Increased damage
- Decreased fire rate
- Increased reload time
- Decreased recoil
- Decreased magazine side
The MK-Alpha Assault Rifle is expected to remain in the loot pool for at least the rest of Season 3. The upcoming Relik in-game boss will carry a Mythic version of this weapon, dropping it once eliminated.
Today's hotfix introduced no other changes. Bigger updates will be introduced with Fortnite's v25.10 patch next week. We'll keep you updated.
