Stacking

Its melee damage buff is exclusive: taking another chem that buffs the same stat replaces it, whichever came first.

Its damage resistance buff doesn't stack with other items' buffs to the same stat: only the strongest one applies.

Taking another Red Trench refreshes its timers instead of stacking; everything else it does stacks freely with other consumables.
