💡 Why Visit Vendors?
Even with optimized builds and a full blueprint library, vendors remain crucial — especially for feeding Expertise, reroll fodder, or filling gaps in hybrid and Hardcore loadouts. For new Agents, vendor stock offers reliable sources of Named items and endgame gear without heavy RNG farming.
