Overview[]
- v1.30013 - 1.4005:
- Pretty much unobtainable and uninteresting other than for its selling price.
- v1.4007:
- Becomes repurposed as the top-level "health" restore artifact.
- Assigned a parent anomaly.
Notes[]
- v1.30013 - 1.4005:
- Never seen in the wild.
- Only found upon dead NPCs in extremely rare instances.
- v1.4007:
- Possibly available in the wild in the Pump Station on Old Road.
- May spawn in the Smuggler backpack stash in Lost Factory where it will now be the only loot item.
- By the time these locations are available to the player, suitable "health regeneration" modifications will more than likely already be installed in their suit of preference.
Trivia[]
- This artifact was an artifact that was cut from earlier builds of the Base game.
- There is a recipe for creating this item using an Artifact Merger which mercifully, is normally unavailable to the player.
