Syringe

Syringes are a unique item, as they come in a colorful assortment, each with their own effects. The uniqueness of the item comes from the fact that effects are reassigned to different colors each game, meaning you don't know what the effect is until you use it or you have the trait Drug-a-Lug.

When a syringe has an unknown effect, ??? will appear next to the syringe's name. The proper effect name will appear after you have inflicted its effect on yourself or an NPC.

Trivia

 * In the early Chinese version of the game, the Syringes were renamed into Wacky Needles.

Tips and Strategies

 * The fun of Syringes is that they can be both good and bad. Therefore, testing them on yourself is a risk. There are multiple ways to test a syringe, besides simply using it:
 * Giving it to an aligned NPC.
 * Using an Identify Wand
 * Putting it in a Air Filtration System or Water Pump
 * Asking a Scientist to identify it for a price
 * Mixing it using a Drink Mixer and giving it to an NPC
 * Attaching it to a Water Pistol and shooting an NPC
 * Just because a syringe is bad doesn't necessarily mean it isn't useful. Messing with an Air Filtration System or a Water Pump is a good use for them, along with attaching them to a Water Pistol.
