Vanguard doesn't have a Fitness Expert, only Melee Synergy/Durability.

Hi, I dont understand why the geth plasma smg for the 200% recharge power. Because of the light Weight ? This one is not the only light one. Thanks

I have noticed if I upgrade enough the paladin pistol then I can even have the default smg which is quite good and still be at 200%. Depends on the mod I put on the pistol though.

Yes, I think the thought process is that it's a secondary/fallback weapon that's light enough to keep you at 200% recharge. It also works well with Incendiary Ammo, which Charge combos with.
