Cursed Torch still heals on kill right now
* DisabilityImmunity: The Cursed Torch's upside enables you to heal a little after every kill; the downside is that [[spoiler:it forces you into Hope Eradicated mode, which sprinkles a generous helping of {{Elite Mook}}s all over every level. However, if you're planning on playing on Hope Eradicated difficulty anyway to get high scores on its separately-tracked level layouts]], equipping the Cursed Torch for that enables you to enjoy all of that augment's benefit while not really being affected by its downside.
* JetPack: A BioPunk version -- the Biojets are a pair of faucet-shaped lumps of flesh growing from the user's back. They enable you to fly into the air by ejecting shit from the spouts on those jets.
