The H-V45 is an assault rifle available to the Vanu Sovereignty. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

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.

Trivia[]

The 'H' in H-V45 stands for Hydra, the largest constellation visible from Earth and one which is typically depicted as a snake or serpent. Perched on the serpent's back is the constellation Corvus, after which the Corvus VA55 is named.
Prior to the release of PlanetSide 2, the H-V45 was known as the XM9 Centauri. It was briefly renamed to the Hydra VA-45, before earning its current name during the interim between the end of the Beta and the release of the game.
