TRYHARDS HELP ME! (Need help with mk2 weapons)

Pistol MK2: not worth buying that upgrade whatsoever. Other pistols are still superior in every way.
SMG MK2: Hollowpoint rounds. With it's fast fire rate, it shreds NPCs/people without armor into piles of minced meat when it comes to close-quarter combat.
AR MK2: Incendiary, just for the lulz. The AR MK2 is inferior to the Carbine MK2, so it's not really a weapon you'll use often. At least it makes nice flames.
Carbine MK2: Armor piercing for when you need to fight people with body armors. The weapon has a decent range and decent damage, so it becomes useful all around with this ammo.
Combat MG MK2: Full Metal Jacket rounds. It's so strong that it's so good, it takes down cars, trucks and helicopters in just a few rounds.
Heavy Sniper MK2: NOTHING! Why? Because it's the best sniper to use when you need to oneshoot NPCs/people, and special ammos give you so few rounds that it's so not worth it (on top of being expensive af to upgrade and resupply). Best used without any special ammo and with the thermal scope IMO.

thanks lads, good info so far appreciated
I don't think I'll be posting for a while 
this 666 satan tag is just too nice. 

Upgrading pistol and SMG seems like a waste of money to me.

Carbine rifle mk II with FMJ rounds for shooting through windows of armored cars.

Combat MG mk II with normal ammo. In this case, I prefer ammo capacity over FMJ rounds because it's the gun I use the most (480 rounds is gone in no time) and because there's no decent alternative for the combat MG (unlike the carbine rifle where you still have special carbine and advanced rifle which are all quite the same).

Heavy sniper mk II: normal ammo or explosive. They're both great and that's why I use them both. You can switch between these once you bought the upgrade and it doesn't cost anything (it remembers the amount of ammo you had). With normal ammo it's still a fantastic weapon, but with explosive rounds you can shoot down a hydra with ease. Best. Feeling. Ever.

Since I don't have all the MK2 weapons ill just speak about what I have with the ones I own:


Pistol MK2: useless in my opinion as it doesn't offer much new to the table in the pistol category as well as it removes the ability to kill yourself with your pistol, which can end up in ruining s situation where might need to kill yourself to stop a personal vehicle getting impounded by cops.

Carbine Rifle MK2: Normal rounds - While armour piercing rounds are a good ammo type for the carbine rifle, there are much better options in the game to use against armoured targets that end up making the increased magazine size in the normal carbine rifle a lot more useful, especially when dealing with GTA Online randoms, where they much prefer to roll all over the place than put some armour on their chest.

Combat MG MK2: FMJ - Despite losing half your original magazine size, this is still more than useful on the combat mg as it gives you a easy access weapon to use which can make any car with any type of bulletproof resistance redundant.

Heavy Sniper MK2: There is 2 ways you can approach this. One way is to use explosive rounds on the weapon which gives you a boom-stick to remove any troll or griever that decides to bother you with their chosen vehicle of destruction (Night vision scope can also work very well with this as it gives you a much clearer picture of distant vehicles when in less clear environments). The other way is to use a thermal scope paired with extended mags to give you a very solid sniper rifle that allows you to identify and pick off targets easily (due to the thermal scope) with a decent magazine size to boot.

Never knew the effects of the headgear remained when looking through the scope. Then again I barely used the things.

Pistol MK 2: Yeah, no, this one's still not all that good.

SMG MK 2: I personally use the HP at close range fights in PVP, it just melts people.

Assault Rifle MK 2: Again, not all that worth it. But it does look pretty nice to be honest.

Carbine Rifle MK 2: Extended, it's my go to weapon for PVE.

Combat MG MK 2: Either extended or FMJ, depending on if we're gonna be fighting Merryweather or not.

Heavy Sniper: Explosive. I see a Hydra or Lazer in the sky, take aim, and with one shot, the Hydra is beheaded, so to speak.
