HVR

"Full-auto ballistic firearm. Uses heavy terrestrial ammo for best in class stopping power."

- In-game description.

The HVR is a ballistic submachine gun featured in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. It resembles the UMP45 from previous games except the stock is in its folded position.

Campaign
The HVR is one of the rarest weapons to find in the game, where it can only be obtained from one of the two scouts Reyes and Salter kill at the beginning of Operation Phoenix.

However, the soldiers will have different weapons on each playthrough, making it hard to obtain. This can be solved by reloading the last checkpoint before the encounter until the weapon spawns.

When all side missions are completed, the HVR unlocks the Akimbo upgrade, which allows the player to dual wield HVRs.

Zombies
The HVR appears in Zombies in Spaceland and can be bought as a wall weapon for 1250 points. It has fairly high damage, and a middling fire rate which makes it perfect for prolonged fire without having to worry about wasting shots. The weapon's preferrable fire rate makes Bang Bangs an unnecessary addition, as the weapon will simply spray away, increasing recoil and losing accuracy.

When upgraded via the Pack-a-Punch Machine, the HVR becomes the Pray N' Spray, gaining increased damage, a larger magazine, and more reserve ammo.

Trivia

 * The upgraded name is a reference to the popular term Spray N' Pray, meaning to keep firing an automatic weapon and pray to get out of a sticky situation.
