In The Division, numerous high-end weapons await agents in the endgame. We take a closer look at the SMG Vector .45 caliber.
In The Division, there are multiple versions of the “Vector” submachine gun of various ranks. Among them is the high-end SMG Vector .45 caliber, which is currently one of the best weapons in The Division.
Where can I get the Vector .45?
- This weapon can drop as Loot.
- A Blueprint for this weapon can be purchased in the Operations Base for Phoenix Credits. Here you can find out how to quickly get Phoenix Credits.
- Additionally, this weapon is currently available at the Dark Zone specialty vendor. Find out what else this vendor has on offer this week in this article.
The Vector version from the Dark Zone is more expensive than the blueprint in the Operations Base. However, it still needs to be crafted, which will cost you additional materials.
What stats does this weapon have?
- The damage this weapon inflicts is very high for a submachine gun. This depends on several factors, which is why no exact figures can be provided. While the Dark Zone version has a fixed damage value, the blueprint’s damage falls within a specified range. Thus, this version could perform better or worse than that of the Dark Zone vendor.
- The fire rate is 750 shots per minute.
- The magazine size is 20, which is quite low.
The advantages of this submachine gun are its high fire rate and decent damage for that rate. The biggest downside is probably the small magazine size. Therefore, you should equip this weapon with an extended magazine.
What talents does this weapon have?
The talents of the blueprint version are entirely random. The high-end Vector .45 SMG from the Dark Zone comes with the following talents:
- Malicious: Damage to named and elite enemies is increased by 13%.
- Gifted: Eliminating a target with this weapon increases skill strength by 8% for 13 seconds. This effect is not cumulative. Eliminating a new target resets the timer.
- Rogue: Eliminating a target regenerates 13% health for 5 seconds.
This submachine gun is very popular in the community, as it combines high damage with a high fire rate. The biggest disadvantage of this weapon, the small magazine size, can be compensated with an extended magazine. Therefore, some agents currently consider the Vector .45 to be the best weapon in the game.
On Reddit, users recommend opting for the blueprint version, as here you have the chance to obtain talents for this weapon that complement each other better. Once you acquire this blueprint, you can craft it until you have your preferred Vector .45. If you buy the Dark Zone version, you must live with its predetermined talents.
