Quick answer

The MK II is a very quiet integrally suppressed handgun chambered in .22 LR. It is one of the weakest pistols in raw damage, but its built-in suppression makes it useful for clearing infected without drawing much attention. It is best used for close-range headshots, stealth looting, and emergency defense rather than serious PvP fights.

In-game description

“Semi-automatic, integrally-suppressed pistol, fed from a detachable magazine. Stealthy and lethal at short range. Uses .22 LR rounds.”

Main Uses

How to get MK II

Important notes

  • The MK II uses .22 LR Rounds.
  • It feeds from detachable 10rd MK II magazines.
  • It is integrally suppressed, so it does not need a separate suppressor attachment.
  • It is very quiet and useful for stealth gameplay.
  • The MK II is weak in raw damage compared with most other handguns.
  • It is best used for close-range headshots on infected.
  • Body shots with .22 LR are inefficient, especially against players or armored targets.
  • It has low recoil and is easy to control.
  • Because it cannot stop bleeding quickly through damage alone, it is not ideal for serious PvP unless you have no better option.
