The mean streets of Los Santos are dangerous places to be hanging around without adequate protection, which is why you’ll always want to be packing the most powerful version of the weapons you own. Many guns in Grand Theft Auto V can be upgraded to MK2 versions that give you more tactical options and more firepower. Here we’ll run you through how to get MK2 weapons in GTA V Online.
Before we get started, it’s worth noting that not every weapon has a MK2 variant. You’ll only be able to upgrade the pistol, SMG, Heavy Sniper, Combat MG, Assault Rifle and Carbine Rifle.
Once you’ve upgraded, you’ll have the option to add some very cool tactical customization options to give you the edge during combat. These include new magazines packing tracer, incendiary, armor piercing, hollow point and other types of rounds. Add Night Vision, Holographic and Thermal Scopes, new grips, suppressors, Muzzle Brakes, Liveries, Tints and much more.
