Kriss Vector

The **Kriss Vector**, known as the KRISS V in the game files, is a submachine gun in BlastGen. It first appears in BlastGen II and then reappears in BlastGen: Modern Combat.

## BlastGen II

### Campaign

The Kriss Vector is a rather common weapon in the American Campaign, being used by Phantom Company as their standard submachine gun. However, in the British Campaign, it is somewhat rare, being found in weapon caches in select missions. It has a gargantuan rate of fire which can be used to eliminate foes extremely fast but consumes ammo quickly because of this.

### Multiplayer

The Kriss Vector is the third submachine gun unlocked but is available in the default class Recon, equipped with a Reflex Sight. It is a low damage per bullet weapon, dealing 30 damage, resulting in a 4 shot kill to the body, or 2 shots if aiming for the head. This is one of the weakest damage profiles in the submachine gun class and is mandatory to aim for the head for more damage. However, it more than makes up for this weakness with a menacing fire rate of 1000 RPM, which easily gives the Kriss Vector the highest TTK of all submachine guns and all weapons as a whole. It suffers from the smallest magazine size in its class, at a minuscule 25 rounds. Due to the fast rate of fire, the Kriss Vector will tend to chew through magazines at an incredible rate and force the player to reload. It also suffers from recoil issues, with insane upwards kick and vertical recoil, but has very limited horizontal recoil and makes the Kriss Vector extremely uncontrollable at any ranges bar close quarters.

The Kriss Vector comes with the standard SMG attachments. Optics aren't necessary, as its iron sights are clean enough to use, but have no downsides. The Foregrip is an extremely important attachment for the Kriss Vector, as it mitigates the recoil significantly and makes it less of a problem. The Muzzle Brake functions in the same manner and helps to tame the erratic recoil of the Kriss Vector, and equipping both in conjunction effectively lowers recoil to an acceptable value. Long Barrel is a bizarre attachment for the Kriss Vector, because while it does increase the range, the recoil values of the Kriss Vector make it next to useless. Both laser sights are somewhat useful, as they tighten the hipfire accuracy. Extended Mags increases the magazine size to 35 rounds, while Drum Magazine increases this to 45 rounds. Both of these are acceptable magazine sizes but the latter reloads slower. Fast Mags increases reload speed and makes reloads much less of a pain, and gains an extra magazine when spawning. Overall, the Kriss Vector is a very competitive weapon, having a fast fire rate but a smaller magazine, it is commonly seen with Extended Mags, a Foregrip, or both, and is one of the most popular submachine guns in the game.

### Battle Royale

The Kriss Vector can be found as Rare loot in chests. A unique Legendary black variant with a Suppressor, Foregrip, a unique combo of Extended and Fast Mags, and an ACOG Sight with lowered zoom known as the **Tactical Vector** can be obtained from Legendary or Mythical chests as well, but is unable to be customized. It maintains its damage and fire rate from Multiplayer, but is slightly weaker in this regard, needing about 5-6 shots to kill an armored enemy. The Tactical Vector deals 50 damage as opposed to 30, making it a 3-4 shot kill. Overall, the Tactical Vector is one of the most powerful SMGs in Battle Royale, combining both high damage and a fast fire rate, though the regular variant is somewhat of a pittance.

### Survival Mode

The Kriss Vector can be purchased from the Weapons Computer for 1250 credits and can be wielded by enemies as well. Unlike in other modes, the Kriss Vector in Survival Mode comes with a magazine size of 32 rounds and a slightly slower fire rate of 976 RPM, but is still slightly less accurate than other SMGs. It is a surprisingly reliable weapon in Survival Mode, being able to easily dispatch of enemies quickly.

## BlastGen: Modern Combat

The Kriss Vector returns as simply the **Vector**.
