    Honestly, played 250+ hours and never once used a single one x( Never crosses my mind to x(

    I use food and drink for the health and stamina boost when I remember.

    When I don’t remember, I’m just thankful that they don’t weigh anything anymore in the inventory.

  3. Detective_Fapp

    Sell them. Or drink a couple Brosephs before a boss battle to make it a little more challenging

  4. Own-Extension-635

    Capacity booster has saved me and my looter hoarder tendencies innumerable times

  5. beckychao

    Eat them all the time

    That’s the best way to deal with them

  6. akronixz_

    After 300+ hours of play, ive only ever had one David Martinez. Thats it.

    I’ll use them & or I’ll sell them. I’ll save the ones I like. Like Mr. Whiteys. Moon munchies. Soulhiker. I’d use the one that adds ram. Dogtown has some that actually add some cool benefits.

    Some shops also sell top tier consumables that adds permanent buffs, like extra max health or increase ram recovery rate by a few percentage points. They are the purple ones with a background.

    I only knew of this during my second playthrough when i chanced upon one, didn’t use any consumables during my first playthrough except those that increased my carrying capacity temporarily.

    I sell all the alcoholic ones, I have so many though and a lot that do the same thing, that I think I’m going to sell a bunch to lower my carrying capacity, I don’t feel I need them with all the other perks and points in the game. The only one I really used is the ram jolt, sometimes but mostly the carrying 50% extra capacity if I pick up too much stuff

    I forget the name of it, but I used an again to turn food into cat food and water. The stat bonuses are pretty much the same across the board. I think the booze got turned into water too.

    Started very hard in the middle of act two, can’t use them in combat? Worthless, love the game but wtf.

    Scrap the green and blue ones, smash X on the rest.

    In an earlier edition, before patch 2.0, you needed to eat in order to heal all the way back to 100% after a fight, but there was a perk you could buy which allowed you to heal fully without eating.

    I would deliberately not buy the perk, which forced me to eat after a fight. It added to the immersion for me.

    I’m a little sorry that they got rid of that in a patch.

    Edited to add: it looks there are mods that add a “survival mode” similar to the later Fallout games

  14. DedicatedDetective34

    I constantly run out because I keep snacking on them. V be famished all the time.

  15. Futaba_MedjedP5R

    Sell all except ones that boost hp, ram, stamina, or carrying cap

  16. beefedwellington

    I try to be realistic and eat a few times during each day cycle

  17. Ollie-OllieOxenfree

    I ain’t living in this dystopian hellscape to be sober. In my current playthrough I try to consume everything when I find it.

  18. sell unles itr te powder stuff i deconstuct in early game

  19. TheSharpestHammer

    I horde them all up in my inventory and every few hours I look at them and I say “Wow, look at all those consumables.”

  20. Outrageous_Mix_4469

    before anything challenging I use the ram, stamina, and blue health pack, as well as a drink and food item; to help stamina and health regen

  21. STORSJ1963

    Sell it all except for health & power boosters

  22. ClaimDisastrous7495

    Collect them like trading cards

  23. tcarter1102

    Binge eat them from time to time to see what happens. Every now and then I use them for their actual uses.

  24. cristakhawker_182

    I open my consumables menu from time to time, exclaim aloud how much useless shit is in there, close it and forget it till the next time I do it.

  25. JaMoraht

    I’m very surprised Cyberpunk never introduced a “survival” type mode. It has all it needs, you can sleep, shower, eat, drink, apply different meds.

    I’m sure there’s a mod for it.

  26. Odd_Ad13

    Drink a bunch and then drive while my vision goes wavy

  27. mamadovah1102

    Consume a bunch when my inventory is full

  28. lordsofcreation

    Pound a couple beers and liquor then go out causing trouble

  29. ottermupps

    Sell, though I keep a couple capacity boosters, ram jolts, and health boosters around. I have no use for any of the food or drink. My cyberware means that unless I actively don’t fight back I basically don’t die, ever.

  30. kingflamigo

    Quickly eat them the buffs are actually nice only are easy to apply

  31. Bahatmogan

    I like to have all 9 (non-detrimental) buffs active when I can, so I eat and drink whenever the timer runs out.
