The Vector returns in Far Cry 4. It can only be attained by progressing in the campaign. In the multiplayer, the Vector is the second sub-machine gun to be unlocked.

Signature Version

The Shredder returns as the signature version of the Vector, and is very similar to its Far Cry 3 counterpart. It is unlocked by reaching Karma level 6.

Tips

• Due to having the highest rate of fire, it can quickly shred through ammunition if the player's aim is poor.
• Due to its poor damage and range it should only be used in close quarters.
• The signature version, the Shredder, seems to lose some punch and precision when used against targets on the range limit. Used in close quarters, however, it is one of the best weapons available.
• Thanks to the fast rate of fire and combined with the sound suppressor, it can be used effectively to clean small groups of enemies quickly and silently (advisable when the Shredder is not available).
• In Shanath Arena, the Vector is sometimes thrown to the player when he/she has reached a high arena rank. Due to its superior fire-rate, it can prove very useful for clearing out squads and packs of wolves or dholes.
• The Vector .45 ACP is the only sub-machine gun that supports 3 attachments: the suppressor, extended magazine, and modified sights.

Bugs

• It is possible to "Holster" your weapon while using the Shredder. While equipped, sprint forward and jump. In mid air, pull out your camera. Put your camera away by pressing Up on the D-pad (NOT using Y) once you land and your weapon should be "Holstered" (Confirmed for 360 using unique variant only, not sure if glitch works with standard Vector as well)
• Sometimes when running and holding the Vector, it can disappear (like when in friendly village) and appear again.

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.
