Status Effects — Outback Uprising

Buffs & Debuffs

Every status badge you see on the HUD — what it actually does. Slow-type insults (Lazy, Sluggish, Slowed…) share one mechanical slow as of 0.9.1; they do not multiply into a crawl. Hover badges while paused in-game for live tooltips; this page is the full field guide.

Insults (enemy chat)

Bogans, eshays, traffic controllers and others shout insults. Negative rolls only apply half the time; the speech bubble still shows for flavour. Slow flavours share one mechanical slow (0.9.1).

Name	Type	Source	Effect
Slowed All slow-flavour insults share ONE mechanical slot (0.9.1). A second slow is refused while one is active — badges merge as “Slowed”, they do not multiply.	Debuff	Insults (Lazy, Sluggish, Drowsy, Stumbling…)	Movement speed ×0.5 for ~5s.
Startled Insult data marks some Startled lines as “negative” flavour, but the mechanical type is speed_burst — same ×1.5 as Frenzied.	Buff	Insults (speed_burst type; often a red badge)	Movement speed ×1.5 for ~5s (speed burst).
Frenzied / Taunted / Enraged	Buff	Positive insults (speed_burst)	Movement speed ×1.5 for ~5s.
Exposed	Debuff	Insults	Armour ×0.5 for ~5s (you take more damage through armour).
Weakened / Fumbling (insult)	Debuff	Insults (damage_reduction type)	Outgoing damage ×0.7 for ~5s.
Amnesia No longer blocks loot drops — it only tanks XP.	Debuff	Insults (beer-effect channel)	XP gain ×0.25 while active (~5s).

Combat & environment

Enemy attacks, weather, terrain, and mate-related statuses.

Name	Type	Source	Effect
Camel Spit Same-type re-apply is blocked while the badge is already active.	Debuff	Camels	Movement ~80% slower (speed ×0.2) + armour ×0.5 for ~2s.
Venom-Eaten	Debuff	Venomous boss bites / mutators	Armour ×0.5 for ~15s (does not refresh/stack while already active).
Stunned	Debuff	Kookaburra mate, some boss hits	Locks movement/actions for the badge duration.
Poison (DoT) Weapon-coated poison attributes DPS under the coating weapon / Venom Coat.	Debuff	Cane Toad, Platypus venom coat, Platypus Venom item	Damage over time each second for a few ticks.
Heatwave Sunscreen / heat resist weakens or fully blocks it; Fairy Bread also negates it while active.	Debuff	Weather event (~60s)	Damage ×0.8, move speed ×0.8, cooldowns ×1.25, XP ×0.8 (before heat resist).
Terrain (mud / water / etc.)	Neutral	Map tiles	Per-tile move-speed multipliers while standing on that terrain.

Beer, food & pickups

Beer machine rolls and field consumables. Positive beer duration can extend further with the Stubby Holder item (Schooner of Time excepted). Positive beers last ~15–30s; negatives ~8–15s unless noted.

Name	Type	Source	Effect
Sluggish	Debuff	Beer (HALF_SPEED)	Movement speed ×0.5 for the beer duration (~8–15s).
Dutch Courage Display name for the double-speed beer — not the same as Liquid Courage.	Buff	Beer (DOUBLE_SPEED)	Movement speed ×2.0 for the beer duration (~15–30s).
Beer Strength	Buff	Beer (DOUBLE_DAMAGE)	Outgoing damage ×2.0.
Weak Arms	Debuff	Beer (HALF_DAMAGE)	Outgoing damage ×0.5.
Giant Spells	Buff	Beer (DOUBLE_SPELL_SIZE)	+100% spell/attack size (size bonus +1.0).
Tiny Spells	Debuff	Beer (HALF_SPELL_SIZE)	−50% spell/attack size (size bonus −0.5).
Frothing	Buff	Beer (ADD_EXTRA_ATTACKS / rapid fire)	Weapon cooldown ×0.25 (fires ~4× as often).
Fumbling	Debuff	Beer (REMOVE_EXTRA_ATTACKS)	Weapon cooldown ×2.0 (fires half as often).
Blurred Vision	Debuff	Beer (FUZZY_SCREEN)	Full-screen blur overlay only — no stat change.
The Spins	Debuff	Beer	Visual spin/sway overlay only — no stat change.
Technicolour Yawn Not a colour filter — it’s a repeating stun pulse.	Debuff	Beer	While active, briefly stuns/roots you for ~0.4s about every 3s (chunder stagger).
Beer Goggles	Debuff	Beer	Tunnel-vision vignette overlay only — no targeting or AI change.
Wobbly Boot	Debuff	Beer	Movement heading drifts with a gentle sine wobble each frame.
Drunken Stagger	Debuff	Beer (inverted controls)	Movement directions are inverted (WASD flipped).
Liquid Courage Stops rolling as a new beer after ~25:00 into a run (existing buffs still finish). Display name is separate from Dutch Courage (speed).	Buff	Beer	Heal ~15% of damage you deal (lifesteal) while the badge is up.
Goon of Fortune	Buff	Beer	Temporary +10 Fair Go (luck) for rarity rolls and luck-gated drops.
Amnesia (beer) Does not block loot drops — only XP.	Debuff	Beer / insult channel	XP gain ×0.25 while active.
Totally Pissed Rare polarity roll (~4% within a bad beer roll), not a multi-effect package.	Debuff	Beer (super-rare)	Double-vision screen overlay only — does not stack extra debuffs.
Schooner of Time Exempt from Stubby Holder’s positive-duration uncap — global effect.	Buff	Beer (super-rare)	Bullet-time: all enemies slow globally for the beer duration; you stay full speed.
Cleansed	Buff	Beer (CLEANSING, ~5% of rolls)	Clears all active beer effects and grants ~60s immunity to new beer effects.
Fairy Bread Re-pickup refreshes to 15s. Boss hits: each boss strike is still fully blocked, but chips the bread — after 3 boss hits the buff shatters (you stay unhurt on that hit; trash never breaks it).	Buff	Consumable drop / fishing / rewards	Invulnerability + movement speed ×2.0 for 15s (sparkle on the character). Also negates an active heatwave while it lasts.
Second Wind	Buff	Beer (STAMINA_RUSH)	Stamina regen ×2.0 while active.
Dead Legs	Debuff	Beer (DEAD_LEGS)	Stamina regen ×0.4 while active.
Footy Boots	Buff	Rare enemy drop / fishing (~0.5% drop)	Movement speed ×1.5 for 30s.
Magnet	Buff	Boss kill / fishing / rewards	Pickup range ×5.0 for 30s.
.303 Rifle	Buff	Rifle pickup	Manual-aim rifle armed for the remaining pickup timer (stacks up to 60s).

Design notes

Slows don't stack — only one temporary slow multiplier can be active. A second different slow is refused; the same slow refreshes duration.
Insult apply rate — only ~50% of negative insults actually land a debuff (the bubble always shows).
Cleanse / Fairy Bread — cleanse strips beer negatives and grants brief immunity; Fairy Bread is full invuln for its timer.
