Bug #5687
Upgraded Item Loses Streetwise Charges Post-Exultation
| Status: | Open |

| Due date: | |
| Reported for: | |
| Actual Result: |
the upgraded item via exultation does not keep extra charges from streetwise nor does it count as a new item for streetwise's aura reading effect
|
| Expected Result: |
either a) the upgraded item is considered a new entity, loses the extra charges from streetwise, and allows for aura reading with streetwise upon charge depletion; or b) the item is considered the same entity after upgrading with exultation, keeps the extra 80% charges from streetwise, and does not allow for aura reading with streetwise UNLESS the item has never been depleted before (ie. the item was never depleted pre-upgrade, so depleting it post-upgrade would count as the "first time" depleting an item's charges)

Steps to Reproduce
- loot an item from a chest with steetwise (item a)
- upgrade that item (item a) with exultation by pallet stunning the killer (upgraded a)
- the upgraded item (upgraded a) does not retain the 80% extra charges from streetwise
- loot a new item from a chest with streetwise (item b)
- deplete that item's (item b) charges
- see the killer's aura for 8 seconds via streetwise
- upgrade the item (item b) with exultation by pallet stunning the killer (upgraded b)
- deplete that item's (upgraded b) charges
- you do not see the killer's aura with streetwise this time
Explanation
exultation + streetwise interaction:
i don't know if this is intended, but when you loot an item from a chest with streetwise, and then upgrade the item by pallet stunning the killer with exultation, the upgraded item no longer retains its 80% extra charges from streetwise. if the upgraded item is considered a "new" item, then that makes sense; however, depleting the upgraded item's charges doesn't give the aura reading effect from streetwise. i understand that the wording is "the first time you deplete an item's charges", but if the upgraded item is being considered a new entity which is why it doesn't retain the 80% extra charges, shouldn't depleting it give the aura reading effect at least? since you would be depleting a "new" item for the first time technically. personally, i'd prefer it if the upgraded item from exultation kept its 80% extra charges from streetwise but i can understand if that doesn't work balance-wise - although i think bringing along two perks just to accomplish this does keep the balance somewhat in-line, along with the randomness of looting items from chests.
also wanted to tack on a similar interaction between exultation + built to last, can there be some clarity between whether the upgraded item is considered a "new item" and therefore effectively resets built to last's uses? or if upgrading does not turn the item into a new entity then the uses remain three total throughout upgrades. thank you!
