Augmented dyed equipment do not feature the cogs associated with most augmented items (they look identical to non-augmented versions). Disassembling augmented dyed items does not return the dye. Dying in unsafe PvP with this item drops a broken malevolent cuirass - the dye, augmentor, and gizmos are lost. Armour gizmos charged with perks can be used to enhance the armour's abilities. As a body slot item, the Augmented malevolent cuirass (shadow) can hold 2 gizmos, allowing up to 4 perks (2 on each).
