There is currently a bug with the chapter 10 archive reward item, "Ninja Scarf": it will deactivate itself if the player goes through a hardline.

This is not the intended behavior, and we are looking into a fix for the issue.

EDIT:

In fact this is not isolated to the "Ninja Scarf" item; all the chapter FX items have this problem, but only if you activate them when they are equipped in the Tool slot. If you activate them without equipping them (either by right-clicking them in the inventory panel and selecting "Activate Item," or by using a hotbar shortcut created by dragging the item from inventory to the hotbar--but NOT by right-clicking the item in inventory and selecting "Add Item to Hotbar"), then they will stay active through HLs.

Obviously this is slightly screwy, and something we hope to straighten out in the not so distant future.
