This week’s vendor reset is all about high-end DPS and skill build upgrades, with the Countdown Vendor completely stealing the spotlight. Contractor’s Gloves and The Apartment are the clear standouts, while Brooklyn quietly delivers one of the best skill backpacks we’ve seen in weeks. Overall, this is absolutely worth a full vendor run — especially if you need optimization pieces for PvE or PvP builds.
