Special Effects

Feelin' Lucky? – Reduces health by 75%. Restores 25% of health on a kill. Increases Luck.

Usage & Description

The Loaded Dice states that it increases the user's chance of finding rarer items from any suitable loot source, but reduces their max health in return, making the user more vulnerable to being crippled and more reliant on their shield for survivability. However, player testing has been unable to find a significant increase in drop rate or item rarity while holding the Loaded Dice. Instead, it affects success rates at slot machines.

The Loaded Dice does not affect shields, so character builds that can achieve high shield capacity (such as Moze) can effectively ignore the penalty.

Stats

Notes

• The max health bonus provides a flat bonus to health, mitigating the health penalty of the relic.
• The artifact will affect Moze's Thin Red Line as the skill takes from max health to increase shield capacity, and since this artifact lowers max health rather than reserving it, it will result in her having lower shields.
  • The reduction in health will also decrease the maximum health of Iron Bear.

Trivia

• The name refers to a loaded (also known as a weighted or crooked) die, which has been purposely tampered with so that it will land on one side more often than a fair die would.
