In [[Mazeworld]], PCP can be treated as a combat-enhancing drug, because of its alertness and accuracy increasing effects. Using this drug, a [[Contestant|contestant]] may avoid [[Trap|traps]] and fare better in combat, provided he/she does not mind the negative effects PCP procures: it reduces strength, which may be detrimental to melee weapon users, but also and most importantly, it causes hallucinations, which will make the contestant lose grip on reality and start confusing one thing for another; though it must be noted that among the three drugs in Mazeworld that cause hallucinations, it is the one that comes with an '''increase''' of accuracy (decreased Failure Threshold) in lieu of an expected decrease.

Because of the hallucinations it creates, PCP is a poor combat-enhancing drug despite the effects it gives, as the contestant will not know who or what his/her opponent really is (unless he/she consumes the drug during a fight with an already-known enemy). It should only be used in emergencies, if combat is inevitable and a crucial need of increased accuracy arises.

Phencyclidine, commonly abbreviated as PCP, is a dissociative drug. Used in the past as an anaesthetic, PCP also displays hallucinogenic and neurotoxic properties.

It is known for being used recreationally, hitting a peak in the United States in the 1970s. However,t he drug had low use rates, and use of PCP started declining in the 1980s. It comes in many forms, from powders to crystals, to liquid forms dissolver in water or ether.

Largely known for its hallucinatory effects, PCP is also known to induce paranoia, depersonalization, suicidal impulses, and violent mood shifts. Users of PCP often become unpredictable and prone to mood swings at any moment due to this.

Strategy

Using this drug, a contestant may avoid traps and fare better in combat, provided he/she does not mind the negative effects PCP procures: it reduces strength, which may be detrimental to melee weapon users, but also and most importantly, it causes hallucinations, which will make the contestant lose grip on reality until the effects dissipate.

Being white powder, a form of medical aid that has no placebo form, it is generally not recommended to consume it unidentified, as it could be the similar Cocaine. The drug should be identified by a medic or a peaceful scientist.
