Engineer and the spinel tonic

[Toadking2000]

Not sure if its been said or not, but it need repeating if so.
But is this working as intended or is the buff not supposed to go to the turrets?
And if not they need to be immune to the negative effect as well.
Had a run ruined because of the debuff... My turrets never had more than half health.

Equipment is only used by the player. The turrets cannot activate an equipment.

The tonic works like this: when you use it you get a buff in various stats, when it wears off the is a chance of getting a temp debuff. (with gesture and fuel cells you can get infinite buff ;) )

sounds like turrets having half hp is because you also picked up shaped glass.

negative, they get all the same items you do and when the tonic procs for the debuff it gives you the item. so your turrets do less damage have less health and shoot slower

so yes the gesture and fuel cells keep it going on you full time but your turrets end up garbage heaps

if thats how its made it sucks cause its working against the fun i get outa playing the engineer

Yes, the debuff is technically an item, that WILL go on your turrets. The buff from the tonic will not go on your turrets. As least as far as I am aware.

your right, and it sucks pretty bad

Are we sure the debuff is just temporary ? Because last time I picked the tonic with gesture, I ended up missing a chunk of my health (a part of the health bar was hollowed), and it never went back to full until I ended my run.
Or maybe I missed something that did that to me ? I don't know what could.

The debuff is permanent, but you can avoid suffering from its effects permanently with four fuel cells and a gesture.

^ what he said. but for the poor turrets theres nothing. its unusable for that character and once you start using it on any others you have to stick with it.
just annoying is all
