this is moreso a draft than a proper idea - it's kind of all over the place and you can probably see why
anyways, i was thinking about more artifact things, and what could be more interesting than artifact clothing?
the artifacts spawn in a box, labelled with the type of clothing it is, and activating the box will open it, giving you the artifact clothing. wearing it will have special properties based on what it is. (or maybe just look cool. i don't know.)
for example, an artifact jumpsuit could, for example, turn one of your pockets into a shredder that slowly processes items into health, but you cannot heal by any other conventional method, or just have a colored flashlight built into it. defects could include injecting you with a random chem every now and then, emitting a cloud of smoke when damaged or slowly tearing itself apart when worn unless mended by synthflesh or viscerite
artifact backpacks could have a random amount of slots, but be inaccessible when worn or deal a small amount of damage when taking items out of it (unless you dump all of its contents out)
artifact shoes could have fun effects when slipping, like flinging you backwards instead, or making you levitate above the ground, unable to even slip on stuff but also unable to kick things / lay down as a result
artifact belts would be VERY interesting - perhaps an injector belt with an infinite supply of one chem, still with settings albeit very specific ones (like "when health is between 62% and 53%" or "when BRUTE is 20 lower than BURN" or "TOX/BURN damage taken in the span of 9 seconds is 60+") - maybe a turret belt that shoots at whatever you point after saying the activation word but has insane recoil that either knocks you back or deals brute damage if you have magboots - OR something similiar to the aurora belt, either healing a specific damage type or protecting from certain elements (incoming stuns, any type of damage, or even preventing chemicals inside of you from processing, halting their depletion AND their effects)
and more...
an idea that i was thinking of that could go along with this would be a loom / wardrobe artifact, asking for specific materials (viscerite, koshmarite, stone, miraclium, blood) in exchange for a random clothing artifact of the same type.
