On the subject of battle stims, there can also be:
- an LSD-inspired drug that gives you +2 to intuition and +1 to perception in ground combat, but also gives you synesthesia and leaves you vulnerable to PSI-based mind-screwing weaponry:
- the one that boosts your handiwork and auxilliary skills, but in return gives you a severe form of OCD ;
- a drug that increases your Willpower in ground combat at the cost of shutting down parts of the brain responsible for intuition and perception - basically, making you into a numb senseless killing machine;
There is also a way GK drug may work - it's by unlocking long-forgotten childhood memories - but it has to be RP-plausible (if you lived in a primitive tribe, no way you'll remember advanced PSI engineering, but you might remember where is the Gigantosaurus' weak spot), and it has to come with a (low-to-medium) risk of the possible unlocking of memories that are painful and unpleasant and completely useless instead, especially if the character tries to remember something that doesn't agree with his backstory at all.
