The Hydra - Vanu 45, similar to the GR-22 and  TAR, is a close-range assault rifle that sacrifices a large amount of accuracy and damage range for amongst the highest close-range damage-per-second in it class and exceptional mobility.

Similar to those other two weapons, the H-V45 features a tight hip cone-of-fire in addition to the weapon's 0.75x movement speed modifier while aiming-down-sight, in contrast to the typical 0.5x multiplier found on most weapons, making the H-V45 an exceptionally mobile weapon platform, as a trade-off for heavy penalties the weapon suffers when fighting at range.
