How Headhunter fits a setup
Headhunter is a Heavy Belt whose defining modifier grants rare-monster modifiers after a kill. The duration in the current source card is sixty seconds. Its version history records an earlier twenty-second value, so an old guide can describe a different item without proving that the present record is wrong.
The kill condition explains its mapping role. A route containing many rare monsters gives a different opportunity to acquire modifiers from a fight that supplies no such enemies. That is an interaction implied by the item wording, not a measured claim that Headhunter wins every boss comparison. Life, attributes, stun threshold and charm slots remain part of the equipment decision alongside the stolen modifiers. Check the actual item before replacing a belt that supplies a needed defensive statistic or charm arrangement. The sources classify the base unique as a general drop that can also be chanced, while the history notes a change to charm slots. Neither statement supplies a current market price or a guaranteed acquisition time. Use the uniques table to compare slot and restrictions, and the endgame guide to identify the activity a build is optimising. Legacy modifiers and current rolls should remain separate when comparing listings.
