Dumpster Dive Sprite Effects
Equipping the Dumpster Dive Sprite gives you bonus healing whenever you eat food items from containers. You can find food items in chests, wooden crates, and occasionally from fishing. It is worth noting that the healing bonus does not apply to standard healing items like medkits, so it only triggers specifically on food items found in containers.
The sprite also lets you find food items while using hiding spots across the map giving you a passive way to stack food and keep the healing bonus active throughout a match. The Dumpster Dive Sprite gets stronger as it levels up. Here is how the power increases at each level:
| Level | Power Increase |
|---|---|
| 1 | Bonus 5 HP |
| 2 | Bonus 7 HP |
| 3 | Bonus 10 HP |
| 4 | Bonus 15 HP |
| 5 | Bonus 20 HP |
The bonus HP scales significantly from level one to level five so prioritising level ups through container opens and eliminations is worth doing early in a match to maximise the healing advantage.
