The VST sits at the low end of base spread among Black Ops 7 SMGs, while still bringing the kind of handling and mobility that makes people reach for an SMG in the first place. In other words, it is exactly the sort of weapon that ends up in far more loadouts than the balance team probably intended.

If you are adding it to your camo grind, here is the full list of VST challenges across Multiplayer, Zombies, Warzone, Co-op and Endgame, and Weapon Prestige.

If you are planning to finish the VST’s full camo path, that is a lot of headshots, critical kills, and very specific behavior from a weapon that mostly just wants to be pointed at things quickly. A fair trade, apparently.
