The second you allow people to accomplish goals "by any means necessary", most of them will probably resort to toolbox bludgeoning. For this to work, there'd need to be some way to prevent rounds from turning into deathmatch.There already is a way to prevent rounds from turning into deathmatch, which is the fact that in order to secure a reliable supply of the medicine you need to stay in one spot, because that's where it shows up. People can deathmatch all they want but if they can't control QM or accomplish syndie objectives then they're gonna die off within 15 minutes. People who team up are almost always going to be tough enough to oust anyone who tries to hold down the fort by themselves, and trying to just kill as many people as possible is only sustainable for a little while.
But if you want to keep things from getting silly, how about this: The medicine is delivered in autoinjectors that you need to jab into yourself. They're very fragile, however. They can be set on fire, explosions will shatter them, and if you have one in your hand and get disarmed/knocked down, it breaks. So you have to be fairly conservative when you attack if you don't want to fuck everyone over.
