The VX Compact is a bullpup full-auto assault rifle added to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in the Season 4 update (June 11, 2026). Its in-game description reads "Full-auto assault rifle. Best-in-class rate of fire and excellent handling, offset by lower range and ammo capacity," and coverage notes its manageable recoil and minimal muzzle flash paired with a small 25-round base magazine. It appears to be an original Call of Duty design rather than a real-world firearm, with styling reminiscent of the Razorback SMG from Black Ops 3.

A full-auto assault rifle built around the fastest fire rate in its class and strong handling, suited to aggressive close-to-mid-range play at the cost of range and a small magazine.

How to unlock: Unlocked by completing event weapon class challenges (nine total, across any mode) during the Illicit Cargo Camo Event, reported as running June 11-25, 2026.
