Radioactive Water

RUST Radioactive Water is a relatively scarce resource players can find in only two small shallow puddles in the Toxic Monument.

Players can acquire this item using a water-retaining receptacle while at one of these sources. It can be gathered with items such as Water Jugs and Small Water Bottles, as well as with squirt guns for offensive purposes.

At this point of development, radioactive water is experimental at best. Players who drink it or are exposed to it, either through consumption, standing in it, or being shot with it, will take damage and begin stacking the Radiation Poisoning status ailment.

In addition, players killed by or having died while carrying Radioactive Water will emit their own small radiation zones when converted to corpses. Players may spread this radiation to other players not adequately geared to resist it.

Throwing, spraying, or pumping Radioactive Water on crops will immediately kill them.
