Is "Weird Pot" worthless or just bugged to be worthless?

[Arndell]

It says it alleviates thirst and hunger but "be careful as the zones gifts can be unpredictable.

Ok, so you equip it, it immediately makes your hunger symbol turn on full, you eat and then get hallucinations and permanent health damage until death.

Unequipping it doesn't remove the effect, using it at all is literally just an inescapable death sentence.

Seems a bit extreme to be an intended effect, and if it is the intended effect that's the point of finding it in a stove and having a description about alleviating thirst and hunger?

Looks like bugged or possibly could be intended. At least the perma health loss seems bugged, bcs out of nowhere this can strike anytime and outside of reloading last saves this will eventually happen. But this: "Unequipping it doesn't remove the effect, using it at all is literally just an inescapable death sentence." -- is certainly a bug as unequipping it shouldn't have any artifact effects

Sounds like you came across a psi field and got the effects mixed...

[AJRimmer Bsc Ssc]

confirm bugged, dont use it

[Kentucky Dam]

It's useful only for bingo achievement

[lockwoodx]

The exotic artifacts are for the Bingo achievement when you put them on and be thirsty, hungry, sleepy, etc all at once.

Don't actually use them except maybe the weird water one if you don't mind your aim being dodgy.

so how to fix that hallucinations problem? I used around 50 medkits and die anyway...
