Summary

Items found in chests always come with at least one add-on and can spawn with a second add-on. Any add-ons on your current item are kept when you escape.

Add to New Survivor build
In-game description

Lady Luck always seems to be throwing something good your way.

Effect

Causes all regular Items you retrieve from a Chest to come equipped with 1 to 2 Add-ons:

  • First Slot: 100 % chance to be equipped with an Add-on of Visceral Rarity or lower.
  • Second Slot: 50/75/100 % chance to be equipped with an Add-on of Uncommon Rarity or lower.

Ace in the Hole prevents any attached Add-ons on your currently held Item to be consumed upon escaping the Trial.

Quote

Everything that glitters isn't gold. But gold isn't worth a damn in this place, so this should come in handy.
