Nekro (Drug)

Nekro is a performance-enhancing/recreational drug in Mother Russia Bleeds. The four playable characters are used as subjects for testing Nekro, against their will. Nekro has the ability to reduce pain (or prevent bleeding) and increase strength and aggression, but it is also highly addictive, causes various side effects including hallucinations and vomiting and is potentially lethal long-term.

Nekro has two uses in the game, healing and activating berserk mode. All Nekro variants except Blue Lagoon and Greyhound can do both (Blue Lagoon exclusively heals and Greyhound exclusively berserks). How much a shot of Nekro heals depends on the variant. The number of shots also depends on the variant of Nekro selected. Nekro is harvested from the blood of convulsing corpses (which have pools of vomit next to them); one must use the syringe to draw blood from the corpse whilst it convulses.

Trivia

 * The strains of Nekro all derive their names from Vodka Cocktails.
 * It is heavily implied that Nekro accelerates the heart rate of it's users, given how a heart appears in almost all of the Nekro-induced hallucinations experienced by the player characters. Also, using Berserk mode will cause whatever song currently playing in-game to increase in tempo, which can be seen as a reference to this.
 * Nekro is likely to be inspired by Krokodil, also known properly as Desomorphine, due to it's extreme addictivity and ability to ravage the user's body in certain cases.
