The versatile VMP is back, arriving with the launch of Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 6 The Haunting, the final major seasonal update for the title.
Obtainable through the Season 6 Battle Pass, the iconic SMG combines quick movement and handling with a fast fire rate. Here’s how you can unlock the VMP SMG fast in BO7 and Warzone, alongside its stats and Prestige attachment.
Quick Summary
- The VMP is unlocked through the Season 6 Battle Pass Page 3.
- You need around 15 Battle Pass Tokens to get the SMG.
- The VMP rivaled only by the MPC-25 in reload quickness and ADS speed.
How to unlock VMP SMG in BO7 and Warzone fast
The VMP is available on the Page 3 High Value Target (HVT) tier of the Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 6 Battle Pass. The SMG is included among the free tiers, meaning, you won’t need to buy the premium BP. You’ll just need around 15 BP Tokens to access Page 3 and claim the standard rewards on the page before you can unlock the VMP HVT reward.
To unlock it quickly, I recommend completing daily and weekly challenges across Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, and Warzone. These provide substantial amounts of Battle Pass XP and can help you progress through the required tiers faster.
In BO7 Multiplayer, prioritize objective-based modes such as Hardpoint and Domination, as playing the objective can help you earn XP quickly. For Warzone, Resurgence is a good option because of its faster matches and frequent engagements. Whenever possible, activate Double Battle Pass XP Tokens to further speed up your BP progression.
The Season 6 Battle Pass also includes a VMP weapon blueprint on the Completion Page, although you’ll need to finish the Battle Pass to access it. Activision may also release a store bundle featuring a VMP blueprint. If this happens, purchasing the bundle should provide an alternative way to unlock the weapon.

The VMP is a full-auto submachine gun designed around fast handling, a high fire rate, and reliable damage with light falloff at range. Its stable platform performs well both while aiming down sights and firing from the hip.
The VMP is rivaled only by the MPC-25 in terms of reload quickness and ADS speed. Combined with its 40-round base magazine, the SMG is built for fast, aggressive play while giving you enough ammunition to stay in fights longer.
The VMP’s MFS Tactical Command Grip is its Prestige Attachment. This rear grip improves mobility, recoil control, recoil stabilization, and Tac-Stance spread, making it a useful option for players who want to maximize the SMG’s strengths.
Meanwhile, you can earn the following unique Prestige Camos by progressing the VMP’s weapon level:
- Prestige 1: Magma
- Prestige 2: Refract
- Prestige Max (Level 250): Hotrod (animated)
Similar to other Prestige Camos, these are universal. Once unlocked, you can equip them with other weapons.
Season 6 also introduces the TR51 assault rifle, Roc 20mm special weapon, and Arcblade melee as new weapons to unlock. You can also check out the full Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 6 roadmap through Activision’s blog post.
