Gotchas
The mechanics people most often get wrong about this item.
- Low-health threshold raised 40% -> 50% and the bonus lowered 22% -> 15% on 6 Mar 2026
- Resistances multiply rather than add, so the low-health total is worth more than simple addition
Problems it answers
- Sustained gun damage — “Their gun grinds me down in a long fight.”
- Burst damage — “I die before I can react.”
