Chemicals

Various drugs that will give you a temporary boost to various stats. After the effect ends, you'll suffer from after-effects that will reduce those stats. If used too much, addiction will occur which permanently lowers those stats unless more chemicals are taken.

Some chemicals can not be used with other chemicals, replacing the effects (or after effects) of the first chemical. Med-X, Rage and Stampede are different, only replacing the buffs, not the after effects.

Detoxin can be used to reduce chemical addiction, as well as remove all chemical buffs and after effects.

Combat stimulators perk will improves the effects of chemicals. Hydra is the exception to both addiction and improvement.
