mechanical wings are a type of back armor that acts similarly to the mutation Wings. When equipped, the wearer is granted the ability to fly, and while in flight, to swoop or land back on the ground. When unidentified, they appear as bizarre contraption. It must be understood in order to be used.

While flying, the wearer is able to travel 2 time faster on the overworld. While in flight, there is also a 6% chance to fall back down. Any time the wearer crashes to the ground by any means, there is a 1% chance for it to become broken.

A guaranteed broken one appears somewhere in the center zone of a Salt Marsh parasangAn area made of 3x3 screens, which is represented as one tile on the overworld map.located on flattened remains. It will initially be unidentified; since you cannot normally identify broken artifacts, and cannot repair unidentified artifacts, you will need to pay an artificer such as Argyve to identify it for you, or use Fix-It spray foam.

See also the Gyrocopter backpack and Anti-gravity boots for alternative artifacts that provide flight. While the mechanical wings are far more prone to random crashes than these artifacts, they are unaffected by electromagnetic pulses and do not require any sort of power or fuel.
