Extra Notes

I'll write down anything else interesting here as I learn it:

Only 1 Stimm effect can be active at a time. Using a new Stimm overwrites the previous one. (So be careful who you inject with your stimms!)
Abilities like Shroudfield start charging after activation, so a new one is ready to go almost instantly after the first runs out if you use the 🟡Concentration Stimm.
BOTS can't carry Stimms for you.
Passing a Stimm to another player who has no Stimm, as they are picking up a Stimm can sometimes delete one of the Stimms from existence?
Currently unsure what happens to Stimms you are holding if you temporarily disconnect and get replaced by a BOT.

It makes them faster yes. I copy and pasted from the patch notes at the time, it was their wording for it

In the section on Celerity stims, the part "Charge up time of Plasma guns, Psyker’s Brain Burst and Psyker Staves" - shouldn't it be "speed" instead of "time"? Otherwise it feels like the stim will make some of those things slower?
