These stories first appeared in Hunt's Book of Weapons, an in-game collection of found documents curated by an unknown researcher. They are replicated here in their original format. This means that many of the stories are not presented chronologically, or in one grouping, and it is left to the reader to put together the puzzle pieces and determine to what extent they contain fact, fiction, or fable.

Vitality Shot (Weak)
VITALITY SHOT, WEAK VARIETY. (See also FIELD MEDICINE,
STIMULANTS) The medication commonly known as a vitality shot is a
syringe-administered medical treatment commonly used in hospitals and by army
medics to increase the vitality of patients suffering from extreme fatigue and
other injuries. Patients administered with a vitality shot report feeling
"completely invincible" for a short period of time. Before the shot was
perfected by doctors at the Penn Medical School, a prototype labeled
"small" or "weak" was tested. Because of the low dosage it
contained, it had little effect on patients. It did, however, provide proof of
concept and allow the doctors running the project to continue in the direction
that would eventually result in the completed vitality shot.
Stamina Shot (Weak)
STAMINA SHOT, WEAK VARIETY. (See also FIELD MEDICINE,
STIMULANTS) Stamina shots, generally, are commonly used in hospitals to
increase the endurance capabilities of patients suffering from extreme fatigue
by stimulating the nervous system and raising dopamine levels. However, when
injected into the blood of a healthy adult, the shot can also induce manic
euphoria. The weak variant of this medical aid is less prone to side effects,
though is recommended only for use in extreme cases.
Regeneration Shot (Weak)
WEAK REGENERATION SHOT. (See also, FIELD MEDICINE,
STIMULANTS). A syringe-administered stimulant which has been diluted from its
original potency. Colloquially, this gives the effect of "regeneration", as it
takes longer for the full benefits of the shot to be felt. However, it's
unclear if it actually could regenerate flesh, or if the effects were rather
less dramatic.

Stamina Shot
STAMINA SHOT. (See also FIELD MEDICINE, STIMULANTS) Stamina
shots are commonly used in hospitals to increase the endurance capabilities of
patients suffering from extreme fatigue by stimulating the nervous system and
raising dopamine levels. However, when injected into the blood of a healthy
adult, a stamina shot can also induce manic euphoria. The standard strength of
this medical aid is effective for a duration of ten minutes.
Regeneration Shot
REGENERATION SHOT. (See also, FIELD MEDICINE, STIMULANTS). A syringe-administered stimulant which offers immediate relief, claiming to affect the body's natural healing processes and spurring them into overdrive. This makes the effects of the injection less instantaneous than other types of vitality injections, with the benefit of being potent over time.
