Rumbledrugs became notorious for their use during the [[Insurrection]], most notably on [[Hellas]] and [[Fumirole]]. On both worlds, they were used by rebels in a vainglorious attempt to fight [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Midnight}}{{Ref/Reuse|Hippo}} The first known incident of rumbledrugs being used against Spartans occurred on Hellas in [[2527]]. During the fighting the Spartans were able to successfully push a [[company]] of rebels into a foxhole and whittle away their numbers until they numbered only twenty. At this point, while ostensibly outgunned and cornered, one of the rebels was spotted to get a vial of rumbledrugs and inject it into his arm, beginning to push forwards in a sheer rage—reportedly not stumbling until he'd taken half a magazine of an [[MA5B assault rifle]]'s [[7.62x51mm]] rounds. When the insurgent's allies moved to cover him, the rebel turned on them too. The Spartans of [[Omega Team]] had knowledge of this event, but it is uncertain if they participated in the mission or were simply briefed on it | Rumbledrugs became notorious for their use during the [[Insurrection]], most notably on [[Hellas]] and [[Fumirole]].

Similar reports soon emerged from Fumirole and a number of other colonies, leading the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] to finally get their hands on the drugs and perform an analysis on them—coming to designate them as "Waverly-class augmentors."{{Ref/Reuse|Hippo}} Unencumbered by the body's normal safety limits, subjects were capable of feats of enormous strength, but the subsequent lack of control and mental instability together with the immediate physiological damage meant that users often died long before they ever laid hands on an actual Spartan, but not before doing tremendous damage to themselves and anything that got in their way.{{Ref/Reuse|Midnight}} | Similar reports soon emerged from Fumirole and a number of other colonies, leading the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] to finally get their hands on the drugs and perform an analysis on them—coming to designate them as "Waverly-class augmentors."{{Ref/Reuse|Hippo}} Unencumbered by the body's normal safety limits, subjects were capable of feats of enormous strength, but the subsequent lack of control and mental instability together with the immediate physiological damage meant that users often died long before they ever laid hands on an actual Spartan, but not before doing tremendous damage to themselves and anything that got in their way.{{Ref/Reuse|Midnight}} | ||
