The KRISS Vector, known as the Vector in the game, is a submachine gun in Surviv.io added in the "Three Heads are Better than One" update on May 10th, 2018, with a .45 ACP variant added in the "Gunfight at the Deadeye Saloon" event updated on November 9th, 2018. It is often found in the Hydra Bunker or more rarely the Storm Bunker in the Hatchet Crate. It may also be found as rare world loot. The .45 ACP variant is found in the secret saloon bunker.

Update Note
"The second largest bunker ever constructed on the island, Hydra bunker is the central subject testing facility for the Poultry Applications and Research on Metabolic Augmentation Initiative. Scientists at this bunker developed the serums responsible for enhancing test subject strength, speed, and pain tolerance. Find Hydra, and you may just find ..."

Info
The Vector can often be found in the innermost room of the Hydra Bunker inside the hydra chest, and it is rarely found as a drop from crates and other containers. It is also common in Airdrops. l ol o l o

This gun uses 9mm (yellow) ammo and spawns with 99 rounds. It has a magazine size of 33, a 1.6 sec. reload, and a 0.038 sec. delay. It is extremely accurate and fires extremely fast, though with limited range about the length of a 4x scope screen.

With this weapon

 * The Vector is a versatile SMG that is well paired with most guns, preferably Shotguns.
 * When using a Vector, use your ammo sparingly. With its fast fire rate, it burns ammo like Dual Glock 18C's. When it is near/end-game, it is best to fire in the open. Try to lure out with your enemies with Frag Grenades.
 * Try to burst fire when your enemies are on the move as this might increase you chance of hits. It also saves ammo as it uses lots of ammo.
 * The Vector is surprisingly useful in close quarters because of how it fires around the speed of Dual Glock 18C's or a MAC-10. This weapon should never be underestimated in close encounters, and you will notice most opponents in close quarters die within a second because of how difficult it is to dodge the bullets.
 * However, be careful in close range where the walls are bulletproof, like in bunkers as you might accidentally kill yourself.
 * This gun is preferably paired with guns of long range,as it can substitute for a shotgun due to the insane rate of fire
 * This is a great weapon to use as its ammunition is common so it can easily be fed.
 * Make sure to have a lot of 9mm ammo, as this gun uses it up quickly. A Backpack (preferably regular or better) is advised.
 * Contrary to many people who advise fire discipline, this weapon actually has an insanely fast reload time to go with its fast firerate; the only actions in the game faster than a Vector's reload are the one-at-a-time reloads of the M870 and Mosin Nagant. Reload obsessively; anytime you stop firing for whatever reason, you reload. Also, to contradict the ammo burn, the Vector will usually quickly reward many kills that will help refill this weapon's ammo pool, as 9mm ammo is extremely commonplace, and pretty much everyone is carrying some of it when you reach the top 5% of a round. However, do avoid using this weapon at anything longer than mid-range.

Against

 * This weapon suffers from range issues, its effective range is about as far as a shotgun's extreme range. Stand back against people holding this weapon.
 * Bait them into running out of ammo by various means, dodging and staying out of it's range.
 * DO NOT directly fight Vector users in close range unless it is absolutely necessary, as despite the Vector dealing low damage per hit, it more than makes up for it in its fire rate.

Trivia

 * The KRISS Vector is a submachine gun designed in 2006 and produced in 2009 by KRISS USA inc.
 * It uses an unconventional recoil mitigation system, where the bolt of the firearm reciprocates downwards and off axis. This downwards motion supposedly "cancels" out the muzzle climb and recoil of the weapon, which may explain its extraordinary in-game accuracy.
 * The Vector is used in Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and the United States, but other than those countries, law enforcement and military usage of this weapon is limited.
 * In-game, the Vector's rate of fire is phenomenally high, spewing over 1500 rounds per minute; while the prototype version of the Vector had a rate of fire of 1500 RPM, the current production model (the one in-game) only has 1200 RPM.
 * The sprite of the Vector is correctly drawn with a 33-round 9mm Glock extended magazine.
 * The Vector icon shows the Vector with a custom Magpul MOE SL Carbine Stock in place of the actual Vector's stock. Adapters exist in real-life that let the Vector take M4 stocks such as this one.

 * It's the first gun in the game to have more than one version of the same weapon, with one version uses 9mm and the other uses .45 ACP.
 * It's the first gun to be able to use two different ammo, which uses 9mm or .45 ACP variants.
