L85 Holo or MK 48 Mod 0

[victusmortuus 1074]

So I just found both these guns and I'm going to give one to my friend and keep one for myself, which is best?

For me it's the MK48 mod0 every time. I just love the thing, I would choose it over many of the guns in the game but it just suits my style of play.

I got a Ghillie suit to :lol: If I'm honest I prefer Assault rifles over LMGs. ...maybe I kill my friend and take both... >:( haha

lol, the Mk 48 is a bloody death machine. You can treat it like an assault rifle with a bit of practice or go full potato and supress a hole squad with it, it honestly is an awesome weapon. It's pretty good for destroying vehicles too, or if you just stick to burst firing it one belt of ammo will last you forever.

The Mk 48 and its not even close. It literally rains down death on anything that dare stand on the other end of the barrel.

And it looks sexy. Put it this way, if two of us are in a forest, one of us had the L85 and the other the Mk 48, only one of us is leaving that forest and it's not the guy with the L85.

Seems like a popular view :D

I have 3 boxes of ammo for it. I do love the smell of Chopper crash sites in the morning.

Findin ammo might be tough with the mk i run with a L85 usually but since the patch im forced to run with a m4 sd ....

[victusmortuus 1074]

Thanks for the tips. :)

3555dmg against 8000dmg and possible instant knock out the Mk 48 wins hands down. Its a loud bastard though Be carefull of the mobs of zed that will come swarming.

an MK48 uses nothing if you get trapped by 100zombies after 1 shot. Its one of the loudest guns in game. Fireing the mk48 in a town and you have to change position within the next 10 seceonds and this makes you weak.

Im allways go for m4a1 sd and u killed a lot of bandits and assholes with it.

[rustledmyjimmies 361]

I would take the l85 simply because i'm british, and it looks pretty awesome imo

[Victim187 23]

MK48... No doubt about it. I've destroyed so many people with that weapon.

Take the MK 48, just remember to gone prone when you shoot.

[victusmortuus 1074]

Put the L85 in my mates bag.... disappeared THERE IS NO God!. :lol:

Sucks to hear about the bag eating the L85, just gotta double check you have space next time.

They're not really similar guns, but I'd take the Mk 48 any day. Yes, it's a bit loud, but if you get in a firefight in a town, it one shots zeds, so you can just clear the oncoming hordes you agro with ease, and the enemy will take it as suppression fire. Granted the M249 is better for suppression fire in a town for a squad, but if you need to kill things, Mk 48 is better.
