📝 INTRO:

This week’s vendor reset is a bit of a mixed bag, with several useful pieces hidden among a lot of average stock. The biggest standouts are The Zero F’s, The Thorn, The Backbone, and The Matador, while the new Broken Rain Incursion and seasonal activities give Agents plenty of reasons to stay active. For veteran players, this is more of a targeted shopping week than a full vendor-run week.

🧩 FEATURED ITEMS THIS WEEK

🔶 Zero F’s — Named chest with Perfectly Unbreakable, Crit Damage and Explosive Resistance. A strong defensive DPS foundation. 🔥

🔶 The Thorn — Named SPAS-12 with Perfect Brazen and high damage. Recalibrate the Crit Chance to Damage to Armor or Damage to Targets Out of Cover. 🔥

🔶 The Backbone — Named Lingmo backpack with Perfectly Unstoppable Force, Armor Regen and Weapon Handling. Excellent for LMG and regeneration builds.

🔶 The Matador — Named Walker Harris backpack with Perfect Adrenaline Rush. The current Headshot Damage and Weapon Handling rolls are niche, but the talent makes it worth considering.

🔶 Petrov Chest Piece — Obliterate with Crit Damage and Skill Damage. Recalibrate Skill Damage to Crit Damage for a strong double-crit SMG/LMG piece.

🏬 VENDOR LOCATIONS & NOTABLES

🔹 COUNTDOWN VENDOR

🔥 Zero F’s — Perfectly Unbreakable with Armor, Crit Damage and Explosive Resistance. Change Explosive Resistance to Crit Chance for a strong defensive DPS piece.

🔥 The Thorn — Perfect Brazen with high base damage. The current Crit Chance can be changed to Damage to Armor or Damage to Targets Out of Cover.

✅ Mozambique Special — Named pistol with Perfect Breadbasket.

⚠️ Countdown items cost 75 Countdown Credits each. The Zero F’s and Thorn will also be available at Cassie Mendoza tomorrow for regular credits.

🔹 HAVEN — MARCO & ROY

Marco:

🔥 Petrov Chest Piece — Obliterate with Crit Damage and Skill Damage. Replace Skill Damage with Crit Damage to create a powerful double-crit piece for SMG or LMG builds.

Roy:

⚠️ Enhanced PP-19 — Available this week, but not considered a priority pickup.

Overall, Haven is fairly weak this week outside of the Petrov chest.

🔹 WHITE HOUSE VENDOR

🔥 The Backbone — Named Lingmo backpack with Armor, Armor Regen, Weapon Handling and Perfectly Unstoppable Force. A strong option for LMG and armor-regeneration builds.

Other stock is fairly average this week.

🔹 CLAN VENDOR

🔥 True Patriot Chest Piece — Worth considering with the upcoming gear-set improvements. Look for the Armor and Armor Regen combination.

✅ Healer Guard Gloves — Max Armor Regen makes these useful for regeneration and tank-focused builds.

✅ Measured Assembly Gloves — Niche option for specific skill/support setups.

⚠️ Overall Clan stock is useful for specific builds but does not contain many must-buy items.

🔹 THEATRE SETTLEMENT

🔥 Brain Break — Named rifle featuring Perfect Headscratcher. Pick this up if you need the talent for your Recalibration Library.

✅ Zeodora Gloves — Potentially useful for specific builds, although not a priority purchase.

🔹 CAMPUS SETTLEMENT

✅ Quiet Roar — Named LMG with Perfect Overwhelm.

✅ Covert SRS — Marksman rifle available this week for players looking for a niche MMR option.

Overall stock is fairly average.

🔹 CASTLE SETTLEMENT

🔥 Spot On — Named holster focused on Accuracy. A useful option for builds that want to maximize weapon accuracy.

✅ M60 — Available with Unhinged for LMG players who prefer the talent.

Other inventory is fairly average this week.

🔹 DARK ZONE VENDORS

DC West

✅ Calibbre — Named shotgun featuring Perfect Jazz Hands.

🔥 Reconstructed Caches — Excellent option if you’re hunting legacy named-item blueprints.

Also available: various Dark Zone caches and rotating specialty items.

DC South

🔥 The Matador — Named backpack with Perfect Adrenaline Rush. The Headshot Damage and Weapon Handling rolls aren’t ideal, but the talent makes it useful for armor and tank-focused builds.

✅ Exotic Caches — Available this week.

✅ Prototype Caches — Worth checking depending on your current Prototype needs.

DC East

✅ The Commando — Named marksman rifle featuring Perfectly Naked.

⚠️ Negotiator’s Dilemma Mask — Available this week, but not considered worth spending limited DZ resources on.

🔹 BROOKLYN BRIDGE SETTLEMENT VENDOR

🔥 Vector — Available with the new Headscratcher talent. Pick it up if you need to add the talent to your Recalibration Library.

✅ D50 — Comes with Damage to Targets Out of Cover already equipped.

Overall, Brooklyn is more of a targeted stop than a full shopping destination.

💰 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! 🧭🟧

🆕 ESCALATION REQUISITION VENDOR

Located beside the Countdown Vendor at the Base of Operations.

🔹 Random Prototype Cache — 5 Tokens

🔹 Gloves Cache — Current rotation

🔹 Shotgun Cache — Current rotation

⚠️ Daily cache categories rotate every 24 hours.

This week’s current Prototype Cache rotation is Gloves and Shotguns, so check the vendor before spending your Escalation Tokens.

🧠 SHD TACTICAL NOTES

 Zero F’s is one of the safest purchases this week. Recalibrate the Explosive Resistance into Crit Chance for a strong defensive DPS piece.

 The Thorn is another strong pickup if you can use Perfect Brazen. Consider changing its Crit Chance to a more useful damage attribute.

• Don’t overspend your resources this week. The overall reset is fairly weak, so target the few pieces that actually improve your builds.

📌 SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS

Top Picks: 🔥

✅ Zero F’s (Countdown Vendor)
