The VF-7S is a primary assault rifle in PAYDAY 3.

Overview

The VF-7S is the final base weapon unlocked in PAYDAY 3 at infamy level 77, and as such is also the final assault rifle to be unlocked.

It's one of the more powerful full-auto weapons, with high damage and armor penetration. When utilized with the right skills the VF-7S can mow down entire waves of cops by itself. It is especially powerful when going for headshots, which is effective against Shield units.

Its greatest weakness are its low magazine capacity and extremely terrible recoil control. While vertical recoil can thankfully be mitigated, its horizontal recoil is atrocious and suffers from low stability as well. These issues can be ignored if one chooses to hipfire or if they just do single shots instead. Despite these issues, the VF-7S is one of the best rifles in the game.

Summary

Pros:

• Second highest damage of all ARs
• Highest armor penetration of all ARs
• Above-average crit range

Cons:

• Low magazine size
• Slowest firing speed of all rifles
• Slowest handling out of all rifles (targeting speed, reload, swap)
• Lowest ammo pickup of all rifles
• Low stability, high recoil
• Slow reload speed

Tips

• The VF-7S is best used as a single-shot weapon, as its low magazine size and long reload discourages prolonged firing.
• As long as the player has EDGE, all SWAT, Heavy SWAT, and Special enemies (excluding shields) can be killed with a single headshot. This makes the VF-7S incredibly ammo efficient if the player aims their shots carefully.
• The skill Cutting Shot will only be effective on Shields, saving the player a single headshot.
  • When combined with the "Face to Face" skill, it also saves the player a single bodyshot against Light SWAT and Shields (when not going for the visor), and takes 2 less headshots against the Bulldozer.
• It is not recommended to use the Compact Magazine, as it lowers the already small magazine to the smallest full-auto magazine in the game at only 10 bullets.
  • Conversely, the Quick-Pull Magazine provides triple the reload speed increase while not decreasing the magazine size. It is simply a direct upgrade to the compact magazine.

Featherlight

Don't let the name fool you. This AR doesn't pull any punches. With a dark and sinister palette, this beast aims for speed. With its light mag and skeletonized grip, you're off to the races, my friend. Kill 'em if you got 'em!

The Featherlight preset builds the VF-7S with speed in mind, as it greatly reduces the time it takes to ADS and ready the weapon after sprinting. This comes at the cost of moderately worse recoil, which is most notable when firing the weapon in bursts. Most notably however is that the preset is available 37 levels before the base weapon is unlocked, giving players faster access to the weapon and its challenges.

Trivia

• The VF-7S is based on the FN SCAR-H, also known by its military designation, the Mk. 17 STD (Standard), as seen from the length of its barrel and 7.62x51mm STANAG magazine.
  • Using the Short Barrel gives the VF-7S the appearance of the Mk. 17 CQC (Close Quarters Combat) variant, with the Long Barrel it's the Mk. 17 LB (Long Barrel) variant.
