MK.48 MOD 0

"An upgraded model of the MK.48. Accuracy has been improved and a scope has been attached to enhance long range attacks."

- Item Description

The MK.48 MOD 0 is the NX-Standard variant of the Mk.48.

Overview
The Mk.48 MOD 0 is an excellent weapon at both close and long-range combat; its portability and built-in scope make it a force to be reckoned with. It can be equally devastating in crowded areas, making it a preferable weapon in situations like Cabin Fever or Quarantine. With lower recoil and a pre-attached ACOG TA1 Scope, this Machine Gun can easily hold its own against even the toughest of foes. These unique modifications allow the Mk.48 MOD 0 to assail enemies even across long distances, giving it a definite edge over most non-scoped Machine Guns. The MOD 0's excellent control, heavy stopping power, and dead-aim accuracy allow this weapon to occasionally be used as a makeshift Sniper Rifle.

Not very many Machine Guns can best the Mk.48 MOD 0 in combat, especially since it has some of the highest damage ratings in the game. Even the MG36 doesn't come close in terms of power, and only the RPK-series equal the MOD 0 in handling and precision. The MK.48 MOD 0's statistics give it a damage rating of 51, putting it above the 50 mark making it a possible 2 shot kill if the enemy is slightly weakened.

One of the major "drawbacks" of this weapon is actually a blessing in disguise. The Mk series' slow rate-of-fire allows you to deal sufficient damage at a constant, steady rate; without depleting your ammo supply within seconds (like the MG21E), which is ideal for Fireteam and Quarantine.

As of December 2010, Nexon has retired the weapon from being purchased permanently. It was sold for 9,950 NX/Permanent from Wednesday 12-22-10-Wednesday 01-05-11at 11:00 am PST.

Trivia

 * The Mk.48 MOD 0 was one of the first Machine Guns to incorporate a scope and is one of six Machine Guns with a (pre-)attached scope.
 * It is considered by many to be an exceedingly overpowered weapon, and some players have openly wondered why such a weapon is an NX-Standard (like the TPG-1 Pro)
 * Upon the release of the MK.48 MOD 0, common GP-using players were annoyed that it was one of the only Machine Guns (with a pre-attached scope) in the game. However, there are now many Machine Guns with a buiilt-in scope, including the RPKs MOD and RPK-74M which both use a PSO-1 sight (Dragunov scope).
 * The foregrip that was on the original Mk. 48 has been removed, but the recoil hasn't increased.
 * The MOD 0 is one of the most preferred Machine Guns in the game; exceedingly partial to Greatfullded and this guy.
