You should never use oxycodone at the front because it allows xenos to cap you in crit.
Tramadol is most often better for PFCs frontlining
Reminder that what determines if xenos can drag/haul you is pain levels alone, not damage in itself

huh? they can cap you until you are dead
I remember one round of CM where IA or some main chem recipe changed to EXP and all chem dispensers blew up that round due to people making chems. It was funniest stuff ever 
this current recipe reminds me of that

No, what happens is that if you fall into pain crit, xenomorphs dragging you will quickly stack oxy damage until you die. If xenomorphs try to haul you while you are in paincrit, it instantly applies oxy damage to reach the 200 damage threshold to kill you instantly.
The risk with strong painkillers is that you can fall unsconscious from your wounds without reaching the threshold where you are considered in pain crit, effectively allowing xenos to either drag you further away from allied marines or just to haul you and cap you. This is very noticeable when people freak out and use an emergency injector before getting capped.

the emergency injector heals you so… it keeps you alive longer letting them drag you
Dragging does immense oxy damage if in crit. Talking about 20 oxy damage per tile. The health you gain back by healing some brute and burn is way too low.

Literally all heal chems do this.
Oxy is not the culprit, it’s being slashed into crit, Xenos then disarming you long enough to heal out.
There is a small gap where painkillers will let you live, but Tram will do this too.
They have to learn the hard way. Also absolutely hilarious.
P.S. @LoveShacker I hope you are doing well. Good to see you around.
