History: Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, several less-than-scrupulous nations experimented with performance-enhancing drugs for their soldiers. Most of these trials ended in catastrophic failure, but a few did manage to produce viable "supplements" for the modern warrior. Ultimax, one of these few success stories, was later sold on the global black market by its cash-strapped nation of origin. Eventually the "recipe" was also sold off by one of its primary developers, and Ultimax became even more widespread. Arcadian Corporations greedily snatched up the recipe when it was discovered by Scavengers, and now Ultimax is widely available within the city.

Description: When injected, Ultimax causes a nearly instant augmentation to muscle performance. As a result, the user is able to run faster than normal and carry heavier loads without hindrance. Effects last for about 30 seconds.
