The biggest highlights are the 12% Protection from Elites Mod, Unit Alloys Mask, The Matador, Legatus Backpack, Salvo, and The Mop. There are also several weapons with useful native attributes that make them excellent recalibration candidates.

🧠 SHD TACTICAL NOTES

🔸 Crit builds: Unit Alloys, Matador and Salvo give you several opportunities to build around Crit Chance/Crit Damage.

🔸 SMG builds: The Legatus backpack is one of the pieces worth investigating this week, particularly if you’re building around Adrenaline Rush.

🔸 Protection from Elites: If you’re missing high-roll PFE mods, the 12% Clan Vendor mod is one of the first things to check.
