Vector .45 ACP/FC3

The Vector .45 ACP is a submachine gun featured in Far Cry 3.
==Vector .45 ACP==
In Far Cry 3, it can only be obtained from the shop since it's neither carried by the Rakyat, Privateers nor the Pirates. While the weapon is not available for purchase until the player reaches the Southern Island, its signature version can be unlocked while still on the North Island. The basic version is also briefly given to the player during one of the final missions on the North Island. It becomes free after activating 12 Radio Towers. Since there are just 11 Radio Towers in North Rook Island, it can only be unlocked after reaching South Rook Island, specifically, after completing the mission Fly South, which would also make it available for purchase at the shops.
In Far Cry 4, it can only be attained by progressing in the campaign.
===Signature Version===
In Far Cry 3, a signature version called the Shredder is available for purchase after the player finds 10 Memory Cards. It has a custom paint job, an Optical Sight, a Suppressor, an extended 50-round magazine, enhanced accuracy and damage, and costs $3275.
The Shredder is a very powerful weapon that can take down small groups of enemies with ease. The suppressor allows the Shredder to silently eliminate targets when playing with a stealthier approach, while the extended magazines allow the weapon to be used in large fire fights, as well. Combined with the fact that the weapon can kill lightly armored enemies in just a short burst of bullets, the Shredder is one of the best guns to equip, simply because of its versatility and sheer power. It should be noted, however, that when fighting Heavy Gunners you may want to choose a weapon with better burst damage, as prolonged gunfights with these enemies can often be lethal. The SPAS-12 is an excellent choice, as the high damage combined with the quick fire-rate can down a Heavy Gunner at close range fairly quickly when aiming for headshots. The AMR is also an extremely powerful weapon, being able to kill Heavy Gunners in just one shot, at the cost of a low fire-rate and awkward handling at close ranges.

==Trivia==
*The gun is based on the KRISS/TDI Vector, an SMG chambered in 45ACP.
*The real-life Vector has 25-round magazine with optional MagEx 25+ extension.
*The Vector .45 ACP is available in Far Cry 6, but only as the "Yarapunk Side Piece" in the shop and (occasionally) the black market. It is one of several weapons in Far Cry 6 which do not have a standard, non-overclocked version, or any choice of cosmetics.
