Welcome back, Agents — and Happy Halloween! 🎃 The servers are live, and this week’s vendor reset brings a spooky mix of tricks and tactical treats. Whether you’re farming Countdown credits, chasing perfect rolls, or hunting those elusive named pieces, there’s plenty of loot worth haunting the vendors for. The Halloween 2025 event is also live — expect glowing pumpkins, spooky décor across DC and NYC, and even some mini Warhounds roaming around the settlements.

 Must-Buy:

Converted SMG9 SMG (New York Public Space Vendor): This is highlighted as a top priority item and an “amazing smg” because it comes pre-rolled with Damage to Target Out of Cover (DTO). The recommendation is clear: “buy this”.

 Contractor Gloves (Clan Vendor): These gloves are noted as being good, featuring Crit Damage, making them a definite pick up, especially for new players.
