Description
Choosing this special equipment grants the player with one dose of Combat Stimulants that are consumed when activated. The perk Favor of the Armory increases this to two doses of the equipment in the inventory when the player spawns. Regardless of whether the Favor of the Armory perk is chosen, the maximum number that can be carried by picking up equipment drops from slain players is always two (2).
When activated, the Combat Stimulants apply an effect to the user that reduces incoming ranged, explosive and environmental damage by -25% and reduces incoming melee damage by -50%. Note that this reduction in incomming damage only works on damage being applied to health: until the armor value reaches zero the incoming damage will not be modified. Delivered melee damage is increased by 35%.
When used by a Tactical Marine with the perk Master-Crafted Wargear, the reduction in received ranged and explosive damage is improved to -40% and received melee damage is decreased by -65%. Delivered melee damage is increased by 100%.
In either case, they also cause a player to be immune to the stunning effects of Interrupt melee attacks and explosive blasts for the duration of the effect.
All the aforementioned effects last for 5 seconds, and are indicated with a visible glowing effect on the user.
