- Antibiotics (Survival mode only)
- Fury
- Jet Fuel
- Overdrive
- Poisoned caltrops
- RadAway (Survival mode only)
- Refreshing beverage (Survival mode only)
- Stimpak (Survival mode only)
- Ultra jet
Notes
- Because each effect is evaluated separately, it is possible for only some effects from a chem to be boosted.
- The Pip-Boy will show the enhanced duration of chems, even though the crafting interface only shows the base duration.
- When moving the mouse over the perk in the level-up menu, the "potion created" sound effect from Skyrim can be heard.
- The perk lengthens the duration of the heal-over-time effect of many different items, including RadAway, without modifying the healing per second, which results in a higher amount healed.
- The bonus duration also applies to most negative effects from a chem.
- As with Fallout: New Vegas, the perk also increases the HP effect of many edible aid items including plants, raw meat and pre-War packaged foods.
