The VST is a full-auto submachine gun added to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in the Season 3 update. Its official description calls it a lightweight SMG with excellent mobility and good handling that supports multiple calibers, making it a strong close-range option, though outlets note it has noticeable recoil. In Zombies it Pack-a-Punches into the "Entendre" (or "Double Entendre" with the Akimbo attachment).

A lightweight, high-mobility submachine gun built for aggressive close-range engagements.

How to unlock: It is the free High-Value Target reward on Page 6 of the Black Ops 7 / Warzone Season 3 Battle Pass; a Season 3 store bundle can also unlock it instantly.
