Wearing any four (or more) of a superior Death Lotus armour set (including augmented parts, but not weapons) grants a passive ability, Death Knot, which gives a chance to obtain a ports resource crate when defeating an opponent.
Armour gizmos charged with perks can be used to enhance the armour's abilities. As a torso slot item, the Augmented Death Lotus chestplate can hold 2 gizmos, allowing up to 4 perks (2 on each).
Using this armour in combat can gain experience to increase its level. Levelling the armour will have no effect on its ability in combat, but it will improve the experience and materials gained for disassembling it.
The Augmented Death Lotus chestplate uses charges stored in the universal charge pack. When the charge pack runs out of charges, the item loses stats and gizmo effects, and can also no longer gain any equipment experience. Function will resume when the pack is recharged with divine charges.
Your current drain rate for tier 85 body armour is given by the following table. It depends on your current reduction researched, the item level, and Efficient/Enhanced Efficient perk presence.
The Augmented Death Lotus chestplate can be levelled up by using it. The equipment experience required for each level and the effect of disassembly is as follows:
