Chems are consumables found in Fallout 76.
Background[]
Chems are substances created both before and after the Great War, resulting in both positive and negative side effects.
Characteristics[]
Each chem has an individual profile and cannot be "stacked" - only one may be active at a time. Taking multiple chems of the same type at once does not increase their duration. Instead, chem duration can be increased with the perk Chem Fiend. Different chems can restore Hit Points, temporarily change SPECIAL stats, and a variety of other effects. Many of these chems can be crafted at chemistry stations located across Appalachia or at one's C.A.M.P. Chems can be purchased from vendors or medical supplies vending machines.
Addiction[]
Abusing chems results in addiction, a type of negative condition. Addiction is temporarily relieved by substance use but otherwise results in decreased stats until the addiction is cured by Addictol or tasty radscorpion egg omelette.
