How to get it

1-1, Public Assembly: silver briefcase in the small house in the north-east corner, right of the gate Kirk blows open at the end. Take it before Kirk arrives: once the chapter ends it is gone for this run and goes to the shop (₦2,000).

Verdict

Weak damage: upgrade it only as the road to the Gatling Gun or for its cheap infinite ammo.

Exclusive

Maxing it and clearing the campaign unlocks the Gatling Gun (₦50,000, Chris only).

Shop: ₦8,500 of upgrades before 1-2; all the Critical is on sale by 2-1 (★3 at ₦15,000). The last capacity step (300, ₦10,000) opens at 6-2.

  • The AI aims at the torso and wastes the Critical: hand it to Sheva and you lose its only edge.
  • Filling the 300-round magazine takes two slots of Machine Gun Ammo.
  • Machine Gun Ammo only drops if someone carries a machine gun without infinite ammo.
  • When you pick up the H&K MP5 in 2-1, store the VZ61 instead of selling it for ₦200 if you plan to go for the Gatling Gun.
  • Desperate Escape: Jill starts with one VZ61 (in 5-3 she dual-wields them under the P30's control).
