Recycled Hat

The Recycled Hat is a common head armor with +2 Shield and the Brittle status, which makes it more fragile than normal. When it breaks, it spawns a random common item as a replacement. The break isn't a pure loss — it's a slot conversion. Depending on what the common item roll produces, this can be a net upgrade or a wash, making it a mild gamble dressed as armor.

It's worth wearing if you want the 2 Shield now and don't mind what replaces it later. Don't rely on it as your primary head protection when you know you're heading into a long fight — Brittle means it'll break from less abuse than standard armor.
