Amphetamine is a psychosimulant drug and a substance part of the amphetamine group, of which Ecstasy and Methamphetamine are also part of, among others. Most well-known by its street name "Speed", it increases the user's wakefulness and focus. It is used as a recreational drug, or as a performance enhancer.

It has been historically used by students, truck drivers and in certain other fields, to stay awake and concentrated for extended periods of time.
It also was, and still is used by several armed forces in the world: the British Royal Air Force used 72 million tablets of amphetamines during the Second World War. It was so popular that sayings and rumors started appearing, claiming that "Methedrine won the Battle of Britain" ; however this is a slight inaccuracy, as Methedrine was another name for methamphetamine, not amphetamine.

Strategy

In Mazeworld, Amphetamines are used as combat enhancing drugs, allowing a contestant to possess the coveted increased alertness secondary effect, as well as a reduction of his/her failure threshold through increased accuracy. They are also a mild hunger suppressant.

However, it also increases Libido by +2d20 percent, putting the contestant at certain potential risks. As such, the substance should be kept and used only if the situation calls for it and the contestant has no better accuracy-enhancing substances.

Aside from the usual methods of finding (at random in the rooms or purchased in a hospital room), amphetamines can notably be found in MEDAID3 crates.

Being a blue pill, it is strongly required the drug is kept until the contestant finds a medic or a peaceful scientist to identify the pill, as it shares its appearance with the similar steroids, the blue placebo, or the potentially deadly pentobarbital.
