🛒 Vendor Reset — SHD INTEL REPORT

 Reset Date: February 24, 2026

 Status:🟢 Active

 Vendors Reset Every Tuesday @ 03:30 EST

 Cassie Opens Wednesdays — See Resources Below

📝 Intro:

Agents, this week’s vendor reset is very straightforward — one standout must-buy, a strong settlement stop, and a few new-player friendly pickups. Most vendors are skippable unless you’re filling gaps, but if you know where to go, there’s real value to be had.

🧩 FEATURED ITEMS THIS WEEK

🟡 Chainkiller Chest Piece (Countdown Vendor)
The clear winner this week. Comes with weapon handling, allowing you to roll headshot damage instead of health. Requires minimal optimization and is perfect for Headhunter sniper builds.

🟡 G36C (Brooklyn Bridge Settlement)
Well-rolled and features the newer Pressure Points talent. One of the strongest AR pickups this week.

🟡 11% Protection from Elites Mod (Roy – Haven)
A must-grab for newer agents preparing for the season climax or higher-difficulty content.

🏬 VENDOR LOCATIONS & NOTABLES

 Countdown Vendor

Chainkiller Chest Piece – Buy it. No excuses.

Swap Chain & Mozambique – Available, but largely unused in the current meta.

 Haven – Marco & Roy

Marco:
G36 (worse than Bridge version) and an M16A2 — currently worst-in-slot, skip.

Roy:

11% Protection from Elites Mod – Highly recommended

Chesca Backpack with headshot damage – Situational (shotgun Opportunistic builds)

Healer pieces (American Army gloves, Alps Masters mask) – Good base rolls for healer builds with optimization

 White House Vendor

Glory Days AR – Not recommended

Military M9 pistol with damage to target out of cover – Decent, but better pistols exist

Hannah U jacket – Skip (status effects instead of skill damage)

 Clan Vendor

The Drill & various gear sets (Eclipse, Ongoing Directive, Heartbreaker) – Not recommended

Miraami Gloves with repair skills & skill damage – Decent pickup depending on your build

 Theatre Settlement

Baker’s Dozen – Excellent for newer players

Roll damage to target out of cover and it’ll carry you far

Skill gloves with skill damage – Viable if you roll skill haste

 Campus Settlement

Scalpel & MG5 with Frenzy – High optimization cost, not worth it this week

 Castle Settlement

The Forge (shield health) – Too much optimization needed

Hunting M44 with Determined – Same issue

Urban Lookout mask – Okay, but better farmed in Countdown

 Dark Zone Vendors

DC West:
Everlasting Gaze & Thorn (Perfect Brazen). Thorn is solid, but better farmed in Countdown than spending DZ credits.

DC East:
Ekim’s Long Stick (poor), decent RPK-74, Wyvern/Miraami pieces with skill haste — again, Countdown farming is the smarter option.

DC South:
Poor Cavalier rolls and bad mods — skip.

 Brooklyn Bridge Settlement Vendor

Strong stop this week

G36C with Pressure Points — top AR pickup

D50 with damage to target out of cover — grab it if you don’t have a “Harvest”

RNK gloves (repair skills) & Monkey masks (skill haste) — useful fillers

💰 DON’T FORGET DANNY WEAVER

The hidden vendor is stocked as usual and sells caches for textiles:

1 × Exotic Cache

2 × Named Item Caches

5 × Field Proficiency Caches

Always worth a visit.

🧠 SHD TACTICAL NOTES

Countdown remains the most efficient farming method this week

Don’t waste DZ credits unless you’re targeting something very specific

Newer agents should prioritize survivability mods and flexible weapons
