- Ace in the Hole extends its effect both to the guaranteed Emergency Med-Kit
found with Pharmacy and the guaranteed Flashlight found with Residual Manifest . - There is a very rare possibility for a found Item to have two of the very same Uncommon Add-ons attached to it, which is otherwise impossible to obtain.
