Buffs 20
Temporary effects from food, medication and actions.
| Buff | Duration | Levels | Description | Granted by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amped | 5 min | 5, 10 | Pharmacologically suppressed pain response combined with adrenergic surge. Brief window of substantially elevated physical output. Severe comedown follows. | |
| Calibrated | 8 h | 1, 2 | Sustained neuromuscular conditioning from supplemented nutrition. Refined motor control and ocular tracking yield consistent improvement in strike accuracy. | |
| Cranked | 5 min | 5, 10 | Acute adrenergic surge from injected stimulants. Tremor suppression and target fixation produce dramatic increase in hit accuracy. Effect terminates abruptly. | |
| Displaced | 0 s | 1 | The Scar didn't take you anywhere. It let you go, and the ground that caught you was the ground that was willing. Where you are now is where you are now. | — |
| Focused | 8 h | 5, 10 | Sustained nutritional state supports prolonged perceptual focus. Improved pattern recognition increases yield from gathering operations. | |
| Grounded | 1 h | 5, 10, 20 | Injected agents flatten the operator into cold, total focus -no tremor, no flinch, every action committed fully. Strikes and shots land with enough stun an opponent The clarity drops as fast as it came. | |
| Hydrated | 8 h | 1, 2, 3, 5 | Optimal cognitive function from restored hydration. Improved focus and memory consolidation accelerate skill acquisition during active operations. | |
| Inspired | 4 h | 5, 10 | Stimulated neural cross-association produces non-linear cognitive output. Subject derives novel design solutions during active engineering tasks. | |
| Liquid Courage | 1 h | 75 | Ethanol-induced suppression of the amygdala's threat-response signaling. Fear thresholds are elevated. | |
| Methodical | 4 h | 5, 10 | Pharmacologically enhanced pattern recognition and fine motor control. Subject identifies salvageable subcomponents missed under normal cognitive function. | |
| Off the Grid | 3 h | 1 | Attacked without provocation, your signal's gone dark: no target to lock, no trail to follow. Other players cannot initiate combat against you for a limited time. Taking hostile action will break this protection immediately. | — |
| Outlaw | 8 h | 1 | The wasteland has a long memory and a short temper. You've been marked for unprovoked aggression - visible to everyone, barred from cities and open season for any trigger-happy stranger who wants the rep. Every hostile act resets the clock. | — |
| Random Food Effect | 0 s | 1 | Applies random food effect | |
| Random Meds Effect | 0 s | 1 | Applies random drug effect | |
| Refreshed | 0 s | 1 | Cold water from a verified source, taken in the field. Restores the operator fully. One of the small reliable things the wasteland still offers. | — |
| Settled | 0 s | 1 | Something the shrine put in you hasn't left. The body holds a quieter baseline now - slower to fray, slower to break. You don't think about it often. It thinks about you. | — |
| Sharpened | 8 h | 5, 10 | Heightened sensory acuity from sustained nutrient intake. Improved hand-eye coordination produces measurable increase in critical strike frequency. | — |
| Sick | 1 h | 1 | Something you ate, drank, or breathed in disagrees with you. Movements feel sluggish, aim drifts, and the wasteland gets a lot harder to handle until it passes. | — |
| Stoked | 8 h | 1, 2 | Elevated metabolic output from high-density caloric intake. Sustained energy reserves translate to consistent increase in strike force. | |
| Wired | 5 min | 25, 50 | Acute sympathetic nervous system response from injected stimulants. Tunnel-vision focus produces dramatic critical hit elevation. Effect collapses without warning. | — |
