📝 INTRO:

This week’s vendor reset is honestly one of the weakest we’ve seen in a long time, with poor rolls and duplicate mods across multiple vendors. However, a few standout items like the Rock ‘n Roll shotgun and Orbit pistol still make it worth checking in. Not a full run week — but definitely grab the key pieces.

🧩 FEATURED ITEMS THIS WEEK

🔶 Rock ‘n Roll Shotgun — 🔥 30-round mag makes stacking Striker & Heartbreaker insanely fast

🔶 Orbit Pistol — PvP favorite with Perfect Finisher for huge crit buffs

🔶 Ongoing Directive Kneepads — ✅ Max weapon damage with flexible recalibration

🔶 Police 686 Magnum — Strong sidearm with DTOOC, great with Determined

🔶 Sokolov Concern Mask — Solid SMG piece with crit damage and handling

🏬 VENDOR LOCATIONS & NOTABLES

🔹 COUNTDOWN VENDOR

Cabaret SMG — Average roll, not a priority

Spot-On Holster — Comes with crit damage, decent pickup

Jazz Hands Shotgun — Niche use, not essential

🔹 HAVEN — MARCO & ROY

Marco:

Honey Badger — Works better if you roll DTOOC, otherwise skip

Roy:

Police 686 Magnum — 🔥 Top-tier pistol, roll Determined for best results

Alps Chest & 5.11 Gloves — Not worth picking up

Overall: Roy carries this week with the Magnum — rest is weak

🔹 WHITE HOUSE VENDOR

Quiet Roar LMG — Max armor damage, decent pickup

Hardwired Backpack — Skip

Cavalier Holster — Skip

⚠️ Duplicate Skill Duration mods still present

🔹 THEATRE SETTLEMENT

Whisper Rifle — Low value this week

SIG CQB — Needs heavy recalibration to be viable

🔹 CAMPUS SETTLEMENT

Sokolov Concern Mask — ✅ Great SMG piece, consider armor core swap

Salvo Holster — Needs recalibration to be useful

GR9 LMG — Comes with damage to armor, decent option

🔹 CASTLE SETTLEMENT

Relic Marksman Rifle — Not worth it this week

Overall vendor quality is very low

🔹 DARK ZONE VENDORS

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

Striker & Heartbreaker players benefit most from Rock ‘n Roll this week

Crit-based builds gain strong value from Orbit and Police 686 synergy
