Special

Special are a type of item in Eternal Return.

Description[]

Special items consist of three item types: Summon, Gadget and Exchangeable items. Summon items can either be found in containers, looted from wild animals around Lumia Island or crafted by mixing different materials and components together.

Summon items are a variety of deployables such as traps, camereas, etc. Using one of these items will allow players to select where on the ground they wish to place it within a certain range from the character. The deployable will then remain in that spot for a duration or until it is destroyed (from being attacked or triggered by enemies).

Different summon item subtypes have different global modifiers:

Traps
- Trap Duration: 60s
- Trap Installation Time: 0.7s
- Trap Placement Limit: 2
Cameras
- Camera Duration: 150s
- Camera Placement Limit: 2

Traps and Trail Cameras are invisible by default, but are revealed when an enemy steps near or on top of them (certain effects can also reveal them).

While revealed, deployed summon items can be destroyed by basic attacks. All deployables have 3 HP, with each basic attack removing 1 HP (some character skills can also deal damage to deployables).

Gadget items are usable items that provide tactical advantages during experiments. A player can only possess one type of gadget at a time. They can be obtained through various means such as hunting wild animals, looting epic boss monsters, Lumi or air supplies. Upon use, other test subjects on the island will be alerted of which team is using them, so players need to be fully prepared when activating them.

Exchangeable items provide a selection of weapon or armor, allowing the player to pick one item of their choice, which will replace the exchangable item for the selected item.
