The Effects of Adrenaline

**Sepharim** · 11-22-09, 08:54 AM

Since it seems every game I join there are multiple people unaware of the multiple effectsof andrenaline shots I am just going to list as many of them as I have confirmed myself here, hopefully it will help those in danger to know when to use it or when to carry it rather then pills.

+25 temporary health
Makes you run faster then normally, for the duration of the effect.
You use items like medkits, defibs and ammo boxes twice as fast.
You swing melee weapons faster, and reload faster with pistols and main weapons, you also have no melee fatigue.
When hit by CI you do not get slowed down.
You can pick up incapped survivors in half the time.

I'm pretty sure thats a fairly complete list of all the benefits adrenaline has, if anyone else can think of any feel free to post them here and I(or a mod) can ammend them into this post.
Happy zombie slaying!

Lasts 15 seconds. The temp health lasts the usual amount of time, however - like 1 health every 4 seconds? Something like that.

So is there any reason to use pills over adrenaline?

pills are basically extra health, all the bonus effects of andrenaline only last for 15 seconds after using it, the temporary health is the only thing that continues to be a benefit past that, in this way andrenaline is more used for certain situations (3 people get incapped so you pop it to get one up faster, using it to move at faster then normal speed to get to the safehouse ahead of that horde, etc) Pills typically i just use(if i am under 40hp) or give them to the lowest hp person

Thank you for this, yes i did knew some of this, but not all usually i am one that picked pills over shot i guess i will not do that anymore :9

I still take pills over the shot most of the time. The shot works great, but 15 seconds goes by in a hurry, and it also takes longer to use than pills... so if you need some health NOW, the shot might take too long.

Both are pretty damn sweet, though.
