The Regen Duel is a variant of GAT-X102 Duel developed by mysterious organization known as Librarian Works. First appeared in the series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED VS Astray.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
Similar to other custom mobile suits utilized by Librarian, the Regen Duel is compatible with Striker Packs. The unit is developed from the GAT-X1022 Blu Duel after they discovered it's remains on earth. It's usually armed with the Bazooka Striker, mounting the Gae Bolg 350 mm rail bazooka - an improved model of Duel's hyper bazooka. Regen Duel also armed with similar weapons to Duel Gundam with the addition of the Rudra 115 mm rail rifle, a hand-held version of the Shiva railgun. In theory, Regen Duel should enter combat by destroying large target like a battleship from long range with rail weapons, then discard both weapons and engage enemy mobile suits without the extra weight, which is the flaw of the Assault Shroud armor.
Armaments
- Installed in the head of the Regen Duel are two "Igelstellung'" 75mm multi-barrel CIWS guns, used to shoot down incoming missiles or smaller units.
- Beam Rifle
- The Regen Duel has a single 57mm high-energy beam rifle, which is identical to that of the original Duel Gundam, and mounts a launcher for a single 175mm rocket-propelled grenade . The rifle is carried in the hand when in use or stored on the left hip.
- Beam saber
- As with most other suits, two ES05A beam sabers are mounted on the Regen Duel for close combat. These sabers are of a similar type as the ones used on the Windam and stored in the legs when not in use.
- Railgun
- The unit mounts a single 115mm "Rudra" railgun for additional firepower in ranged combat. This is a handheld variant of the "Shiva" railgun used by the GAT-X102 Duel Assault Shroud and can be stored on the right hip.
- Rail bazooka
- Equipped on the Bazooka Striker, the Gae Bolg 350 mm rail bazooka is an improved model of Duel's hyper bazooka used in long-ranged combat.

Trivia
Despite being based on the GAT-X102 Duel, it is very similar to the GAT-X103 Buster in terms of the combat role.
The "Bazooka Striker" is essentially the back-mounted portion of the AQM/E-X03 Launcher Striker, with the "Gae Bolg" bazooka taking the place of the "Agni" hyper-impulse cannon.
