# Drugs

Drugs (formerly called "boosts") are **consumable items** that can be picked up on the map. They allow players to **temporarily boost certain base stats** or provide various other temporary bonuses.  

Drugs are scattered across the map, but they are usually found near the center. In team games, it is therefore strategic to **control this area** to gain an advantage over the opponents.

Some drugs also cause **side effects**, such as reduced shooting accuracy for [Steroids](game:drugs:steroids) or visual hallucinations for [Mushrooms](game:drugs:shrooms).
