How do you unlock the Vector CRB?

The Vector CRB is a 32-round automatic SMG costing 7 Squad Points. Its tidy handling makes it a practical close-range choice when the route occasionally opens into a medium sightline. Its camo track finishes at Woodland (25 kills shortly after sliding). Complete every camo challenge on it and Gold unlocks.

Current product and add-on availability was checked against Xbox, PlayStation and Steam listings, while weapon rosters, Squad Point costs, magazine descriptions and the class-specific camouflage matrix were cross-checked against dedicated historical references.

How does the Vector CRB play in Ghosts?

RoleControlled close-range SMG
Real-world basisModeled on a short-barrel KRISS Vector SMG despite the CRB label
StrengthsControlled automatic fire helps track a moving close target; A conventional 32-round magazine supports active objective play
TradeoffsIt remains disadvantaged when challenging dedicated rifles across open ground; Overextending a burst wastes the handling advantage
Attachments and setup notesA suppressor and mobility-focused setup suit flank routes; Use sight or recoil support only when the map regularly creates medium transitions
Challenge noteComplete Vector CRB's twelve class-specific multiplayer challenges—Snow, Brush, Autumn, Ocean, Red, Caustic, Scale, Crocodile, Green, Net, Trail and Woodland—to unlock Gold on this weapon. Clan Wars and downloadable camos are not required.
Progression tipCamo progress is stored on the Vector CRB itself. Read each challenge's smg requirement before building the class, because Ghosts does not use one shared objective for every gun.
Camo tipEnter with the sight already at chest-to-head height and keep bursts compact beyond the room.
Compared withThe Vepr carries more rounds, while the Vector CRB is the cleaner conventional SMG package.

Vector CRB — common questions

How do you unlock the Vector CRB in Ghosts?

The Vector CRB costs 7 Squad Points per soldier in Call of Duty: Ghosts; it is not locked behind a player-rank level. The level cap is 60, and prestige is 10 Prestige levels in the original multiplayer progression, with the squad system linking soldiers to Prestige milestones.

How do you unlock camos on the Vector CRB?

Camo progress is per-weapon. The standard Ghosts ladder contains Snow, Brush, Autumn, Ocean, Red, Caustic, Scale, Crocodile, Green, Net, Trail and Woodland. The condition changes by class, so every camo page includes the exact assault-rifle, SMG, LMG, marksman, sniper, shotgun and Riot Shield matrix. Only primary firearms and the Riot Shield use the normal twelve-camo path. Handguns, launchers, the Combat Knife, Gold Combat Knife and Gold PDW do not earn those camos. On the Vector CRB the final tier is Woodland — 25 kills shortly after sliding. After that, Gold needs every camo challenge on the weapon done.

Can you unlock the Vector CRB for me?
