Survivalist's Gaiter

A worn gaiter repurposed as neck protection by someone who wastes nothing. StatusOnBattleStart fires a free status effect at the top of every fight, while PassiveWhenOnTile activates an additional passive when the wearer stands on specific terrain types. Rewards positional awareness and terrain control — useful for builds that plan their starting position carefully.

This item appears in two places in the collection with the same name but different IDs — one is the neck armor version here and another appears as a separate entry. The PassiveWhenOnTile benefit depends entirely on which terrain type triggers it and what passive is granted; in zones where that terrain is common, the bonus is consistent. In zones without the relevant tile type, the Gaiter provides only its battle-start effect.

Part of the Survivalist set alongside the Survivalist's Mask. Both items interact with corpses and terrain in different ways — the Mask converts corpses to resources while this Gaiter rewards specific tile placement. Together they create a Survivalist build philosophy of extracting every advantage from the environment and enemy deaths.
