BugArtifacts
Adds 3 new Artifacts. Back and Buggier than ever.
About this mod Author’s original text
Currently adds 3 new artifacts aiming to change gameplay; Knowledge, Pestilence, and Violence. Probably multiplayer compatible.
Knowledge: All natural item spawns are replaced with "Inscription" items of corresponding tiers. Each Inscription grants a % of your current level's exp. Leveling up grants a completely random item.
(Yes, this includes items you can't get in most normal runs and modded items with:toggle_loot set as false! Have fun:))
(also has a special interaction with Artifact of Command)
Pestilence: Using any interactable has a 45% chance to spawn a swarm of Archerbugs, similar to interacting with the corpse of The Bloated Survivor. Killing enemies additionally has a 20% chance to spawn Archerbugs.
Violence: Actor deaths enrage nearby actors (includes players and allies), granting a stacking buff boosting damage and attack speed by 10% each stack. While actors are enraged, they can't take knockback, be stunned, or die.
Includes custom Knowledge interactions with other mods!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide. If the mod depends on a loader such as ReturnOfModding, install it first as the readme describes.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
