NERO Injector: Stamina

A Stamina NERO Injector permanently raises Deacon's Stamina bar. Injectors come from NERO checkpoints and research sites, and Stamina helps melee builds and Horde escapes most.

Type: Upgrade
Skill tree: NERO Injectors
What it does: Permanently increases Stamina.

Found in

NERO CheckpointsNERO Checkpoints are abandoned federal quarantine camps you clear for the World's End storyline. There are 12, and each one you power up gives a NERO Injector, an Intel Recorder and a new fast travel point.

Good to know

Each injector raises one stat by one step: Health, Stamina or Focus.
Injectors sit in NERO medical trailers at checkpoints, which you open after restoring power.
Your first injector unlocks the Better Living through Chemistry trophy.
Maxing one stat unlocks Performance Enhanced.

Is it worth it

Yes for melee and roll-heavy players. It means more sprinting and more dodging.

Tips

Pair Stamina upgrades with Catch Your Breath and Shape Up.
