What do the pills do in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – Definitive Edition

Grand Theft Auto has always been a series that doesn't take itself too seriously. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a prime example of this. The same can be said for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - Definitive Edition. It perfectly captures the arcade feel of the original while giving it a spiffy HD coat of paint. This arcade gameplay leads to all kinds of wacky inclusions.

One of these is Adrenaline Pills. These appear as red and white pills in a pink circle. These are spread throughout the map and can be collected by walking up to them. Once collected, they will increase Tommy's move speed and slow down time, almost like a bullet-time effect.

This is useful when battling the police or when completing a rampage. While time is slowed down, you can still move at your normal aiming speed, giving you a big advantage in gunfights. Another benefit is that the player can jump further than normal. Players should also note that entering a vehicle will remove the effects of adrenaline pills.

This pickup is a fun little boost the player can grab to make things more interesting, especially during firefights. While cruising around Vice City, keep your eyes out for these power-ups!
