Rat Suit

The Rat Suit is an equippable item described as a suit for hazardous environments decorated with odd or peculiar markings. It functions primarily to mitigate exposure to ionizing radiation: when worn it greatly reduces the rate at which radiation accumulates on the wearer, making it suitable for exploration or operations in irradiated areas.

The item is not a guaranteed find; it can be obtained as a rare salvage reward. There is a small chance to receive a Rat Suit by killing a Lab Rat or a Garage Rat and harvesting their remains.

• Main effect: significantly reduces radiation buildup while equipped, lowering the speed at which radiation dose accumulates.
• Acquisition: small drop chance from harvesting the remains of Lab Rats and Garage Rats.
• Intended use: wear the suit when entering areas with persistent radiation sources to extend survivability and reduce the need for consumables or repeated medical treatment.

The Rat Suit is categorized as protective gear for hazardous environments and should be prioritized when facing zones where radiation is a primary threat.
