Shani

--Loading view countThe no-nonsense head of Speranza's defense force. Shani runs a tight operation and her vendor inventory reflects that — defensive gear, security keys, and armor solutions. She's less concerned with profit and more concerned with keeping people alive.
Best Deals
Raider Hatch Key
1000Opens locked Raider supply caches throughout the map. Each key is region-specific (Lower District, Industrial, Facility). The most valuable single purchase for loot-focused players.
Ballistic Vest Mk.II
1100+25% damage reduction from kinetic sources. Significantly improves survivability against ARC snipers and heavy units. Shani's best defensive item.
Perimeter Alert System
750A deployable sensor that detects enemies within 20m and alerts you with a HUD ping. 60-second duration, 3 charges per purchase.
Riot Shield Fragment
900A portable barrier piece that blocks 80% of incoming frontal damage. Essential for pushing through automated turret corridors in the Bunker sector.
Tips
1.Raider Hatch Keys are region-locked. Make sure you buy the correct key for the sector you're exploring — Shani doesn't accept returns on keys.
2.The Ballistic Vest stacks with armor from other sources additively, not multiplicatively. Equip it before heavy missions for maximum benefit.
3.Deploy the Perimeter Alert System before entering unknown territory. It frequently detects cloaked ARC units that would otherwise ambush you.
4.Shani's quest 'Defense In Depth' rewards a permanent Turret Vulnerability Scanner that increases damage to defense turrets by 35%. Complete it early.
5.Riot Shield Fragment can be picked up after being downed once per mission — it respawns at your drop-in point. Don't waste it on trivial encounters.
