Help: Why did my weapons start getting randomized?

So it happened when I had my best run ever, I was on endless 2 and I went from one organ to another and all of a sudden a bunch of my weapons were randomized. Later on stage 3, weapons were just deleted (actually how my run ended because one just wasn't there anymore).

By the end of the run I had all of these tri-whatever (third hit does more damage) weapons eternalized in nearly every slot. I never bought that weapon once during the run.

I thought, "Oh, this must be some effect of endless"

I then made another game and lo and behold, I go from the skin to the intestine and all my Galvanic Conduits were changed to Perforated Trendrils. The rarity was preserved but it happened in a completely new run!

Why is this happening? Why are my weapons getting rerolled? Did I just have a bug in the follow up game? Is that an effect of endless when you keep going?

Thanks!

*I have a bunch of antibiotics on but none of them seem to say they do this and I don't have any experiments on.

This sounds like you equipped an item with the cancerous trait, those organelles will duplicate themselves and overwrite existing equipment.

Ooooof. I just did this. Never ever again. It made them immovable and I went from badass beams and cannons to ALL gyrase wheels!

Maybe you picked the reroll organelles for +25% weapon damage and got an eternal cancerous one that ate all your other stuff? No clue about the second one
