"Temporarily boosts speed" - Pre-Run Shop

Vitamins are an item that can rarely be found in containers or can be bought at the Pre-Run Shop or the Jeff Shop.

Usage

When consumed, the player will receive a temporary speed boost of 8 seconds. Once the player has run out of uses, the vitamin(s) will be removed from their inventory.

Notes

• Multiple vitamins cannot be taken in quick succession (and by extension the player cannot stack its effects). After the effects wear off, the player must wait 5 more seconds before using another vitamin.
• The player can only carry 3 vitamins at a time.
• Vitamins can be helpful in evading fast entities, such as the Figure and Seek.
  • The vitamin boost stacks with the player's speed during the Seek chase, which can make the player run even faster.
• Vitamins can be bought at the Pre-Run Shop for 100, which grants the maximum stack (x3).
• Vitamins used to also provide a small health boost, however this was removed in the Hotel+ update. Supposedly, it was removed as more healing items were being added.^{[citation needed]}
• Vitamins used to disable the ability to be silent while crouching when consumed. After the Mines update, this doesn’t occur anymore.
• Should all active players have a light source, Vitamins and Lockpicks will start spawning instead.
  • This was changed after The Hunt: First Edition update. Now only one player needs a light source for them to start spawning.
  • The speed boost icon of Vitamins actually disappear in 10 seconds. However, in the past 8 seconds it becomes unnoticeable if you still barely have more speed.

• Available at the Pre-Run Shop in The Hotel (Pre-Run shop sells 3 Vitamins).
• Jeff Shop sometimes sell vitamins on a random rotation.
• Are commonly found (and almost guaranteed) in The Infirmary.

Cons

• Speed boost cannot be stacked while active.
• Won't be available in The Mines' Pre-Run Shop.
• Rarely only found on Vine-Covered Chests in The Mines.

Bugs

• Vitamins' bottle can appear without a lid or open, possibly from animation bug.
• If during the Vitamins taking animation the player quickly takes other Vitamins, the taking animation will stop.
• Figure used to still able to detect fast crouching speed, however in The Mines update this has been patched.

Trivia

• LSPLASH confirmed that vitamins taste "like gummy".
• Before Hotel+ update. Vitamins used to give health regeneration, however this had been nerfed after Hotel+Update.
• Its Pre-Run shop description also used to be 'Provides health & speed boost' before Hotel+ update.
