It also has an S2 shield slot, but only comes with an INK-1 (S1).Īssuming your powerplant can handle it, you could upgrade the shield to an S2 (such as the INK-MARK 204-ID or INK-MARK 204-IS, which protect better against projectiles and missiles respectively), and add two S1 weapons to the unused mounts (even replacing the M3As, if you prefer other weapons).Never used the avenger but here is my PvE build.
