🧩 FEATURED ITEMS THIS WEEK

This week’s vendor reset focuses on skill utility and hybrid options. While most rolls aren’t top-tier, there are a few key items worth grabbing. The Strategic Alignment backpack at the White House and the New Reliable LMG from the Countdown vendor stand out as must-haves, especially for agents building into skill damage or flexible DPS. The Wyvern mask at Haven and the Walker holster at the Campus also offer solid rolls that can be optimized further. Even if they don’t fit your current loadout, picking these pieces up will boost your Expertise Level and give you more room to experiment in future builds.

Top Picks & Must-Haves:

• Strategic Alignment Backpack (White House) – Named item with Skill tier & Skill haste

• New Reliable LMG (Countdown Vendor) – Strong rolls, needs minor optimization

• Wyvern Mask (Haven – Marco) – Skill tier, Skill haste, Skill damage (roll Status effect)

• Walker Holster (Campus Settlement) – Weapon damage, Crit chance (roll Crit damage)

• Gloves (Haven – Marco) – Crit damage & Crit chance

• Chem Launcher Mod (Castle) – 6.1% heal mod (for healer builds)
