XDefiant offers extensive customization, from diverse Factions to a variety of weapons for player loadouts. Among the array of choices, Submachine Guns (SMGs) are particularly favored by players, with the MP7 being the standout. However, the Vector .45 ACP is a strong alternative, noted for its power and mobility, despite some trade-offs in accuracy and ammunition.
The Vector .45 ACP is a potent SMG in capable hands, excelling in firepower and agility at the expense of accuracy and ammo capacity. Although its range is inferior to other SMGs like the P90, its exceptionally high fire rate ensures a remarkable time-to-kill (TTK) if all shots connect, making it one of the top Primary weapons in XDefiant. Below are the best loadouts for the Vector .45 ACP.
Best Early Game Vector Loadout
Vector .45 ACP Attachments:
- Muzzle: Light Suppressor
- Barrel: Recon Barrel
- Front Rail: Superlight Grip
- Optic: Reflex Sight
- Magazine: Quick Mag
This early game loadout is ideal for players who haven’t fully leveled up their Vector. Using attachments available from levels 1 to 11, it enhances ADS speed from 180 milliseconds to 153 milliseconds, allowing quicker target acquisition. The Reflex Sight improves precision, compensating for the weapon’s obstructive iron sights, while the Quick Mag provides five extra rounds per magazine and speeds up reloading. This build also reduces player visibility on the minimap when firing. For a secondary weapon, the 93R is a good choice for close-range combat when reloading isn’t an option.
Best All-Round Vector Loadout
Vector .45 ACP Attachments:
- Muzzle: Muzzle Booster
- Barrel: Chrome-Lined Barrel
- Front Rail: Tactical Grip
- Optic: Reflex Sight
- Magazine: Extended Mag
This versatile build enhances the Vector’s firepower and range, increasing effective ranges to 16 meters for short-range and 23 meters for medium-range. The fire rate is boosted to 1025 RPM, enhancing DPS and TTK. The Extended Mag increases capacity from 25 to 40 rounds, accommodating the weapon’s high fire rate for engaging multiple opponents. Although this build reduces ADS speed to 198 milliseconds and slightly impacts mobility, these changes are manageable. Pairing this loadout with the 93R provides additional support in tight situations.
Best High Handling Vector Loadout
Vector .45 ACP Attachments:
- Muzzle: Muzzle Booster
- Underbarrel: Superlight Grip
- Optic: Reflex Sight
- Magazine: Quick Mag
- Rear Grip: Quick Draw Grip
This loadout focuses on maximizing the Vector’s handling for fast-paced, close-range combat. It improves ADS speed to 144 milliseconds and enhances sprint-to-shoot time by 10%, boosting it from 180 to 162 milliseconds. Additionally, movement speed is increased by 2.5%, and the fire rate is faster, making this build comparable to top MP7 loadouts. The Quick Mag adds 5 rounds per magazine and increases reload speed by 15%, reducing downtime between engagements. Although recoil control and ADS stability are slightly compromised, this loadout excels in quickly eliminating opponents in close-range battles.
