"Pep Pills"

Every military in WW2 used different types of stimulants to different degrees
Germany/Pervitin, US/Benzedrine and Japan/USSR to a lesser extent, less documented at least

-Used in medkit / tools slot
-Effect lasts 1-2 minutes

Positive Effects:
Increase speed of doing almost anything
-Increase speed/quickness of pretty much everything (2%-5%? idk):
-Sprint/run
-weapon aim/ reload
-crawl/prone movement/.changing positions
-in/out vehicle
-building for engineers

If you switch soldiers after taking “Pep Pills” the AI would also react quicker/fight slightly better overall (similar boost to upgraded soldiers/weapons but stackable)

-Also gives the same benefits as the flask (Restore stamina and increase regen rate)
BUT unlike taking a few seconds it would the “Pep Pills” would be consumed almost instantly

Negative effects:
-Jitteriness, reduce aim stability 3-5%
-Tunnel vision, slight fuzzy ring around soldiers peripheral vision, also HUD slightly fuzzy but still visible

After Effect
-After effect wears off, all stats that we’re improved are lowered below base level (by half as much as they we’re increased?)
-Negative effects persist during after effect period, but also at half of amount as during the effect
-After-effect duration is half as long as initial effect, unless player re-doses.

Hmm… Interesting.

I mean, it’s historically accurate, but I’m not sure it’d be that popular with most players. I mean, not everyone uses the flask, for example. Still, it’s definitely an interesting idea.

True but the flask takes a while 2-3 seconds to use and it only affects stamina
Obviously wouldn’t replace the flask, just compliment it . Especially since Pep Pills are consumable not reusable and you would have to sacrifice your med-kit to have it.

I could see players using them with certain classes in certain scenarios.
-Assaulters just before they get into CQB
-Engineers to rapidly build fortifications before the enemy shows up
-Flametroopers to get into range quicker
-All to charge to the next objective quicker / rush the point before enemy finished capping

  • All to close the distance on a tank to destroy with TNT/Dynamite
