Why each mod is in this Shade loadout.
Budget radar Exilus for solo tiles where nobody else marks loot or spawns.
Primary survivability layer — stay cloaked so you never need Sacrifice in the first place.
Solo loot vacuum; no squadmates to share pickups.
If you go down, Shade can burn itself to revive you — last-resort solo safety when Ghost wasn’t enough.
Periodic heal beam on the owner — tops off chips between cloaked rotations without a frame heal kit.
Damage resistance aura while the companion lives — softens hits when Ghost flickers or you break cloak to revive.
Brings Shade back after Sacrifice or a death so Ghost and Shelter return.
Shield HP so Shade survives long enough to Medi-Ray and Shelter you.
Health bulk for the solo sentinel that cannot rely on squad revive pressure.
Frame builds that list Shade in Arsenal.
