Black Ops 7 Warzone: How to Unlock the VX Compact

Season 4 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone expands the arsenal once again, and the VX Compact joins the lineup as a new assault rifle. Unlike several weapons tied to the Battle Pass, you cannot unlock this rifle through standard tier progression.

You need to earn the VX Compact through a limited in-game event instead. If you want to add this weapon to your loadouts as soon as it becomes available, you must understand how the event works and what steps you need to complete to claim it.

Getting the VX Compact in Black Ops 7 and Warzone

You cannot unlock the VX Compact through the Season 4 Battle Pass or standard weekly tasks. Instead, you must take part in the limited-time Illicit Cargo Camo event, which begins on June 11 and runs for a short period afterward.

This event centers on cosmetic rewards inspired by Black Ops 3. You can earn eight returning weapon camos, including the widely requested Cherry Fizz design. These rewards tie directly to gameplay challenges rather than tier progression.

To secure the VX Compact, you will need to complete event-specific objectives. While full details may vary, you should expect challenges spread across multiple modes, including:

• Multiplayer
• Zombies
• Endgame
• Warzone

These tasks typically focus on weapon class usage or mode-based performance goals. Completing the required set of challenges will unlock the assault rifle for use in Create-a-Class.

If you prefer not to complete the event grind, you can obtain the weapon through a Store Bundle that includes a VX Compact blueprint. This option grants access to a pre-configured version of the rifle without finishing the event requirements.

Key points to keep in mind:

Bundle pricing has not been confirmed, but premium blueprints typically require a significant COD Point purchase. If you want the base weapon without spending currency, focus on completing the event objectives before the event ends.
