Dead Rails Potion Update Guide – New Codes, The Milkman

The new Dead Rails update just dropped, and it’s nothing short of chaotic brilliance. From a powerful new class to reworked melee mechanics and game-changing potions, this update doesn’t just tweak the game — it transforms it. Let’s dive into every major feature, broken down for clarity.

Dead Rails Potion Update Guide – New Codes,

New Class: The Milkman

Core Mechanic: The more milk you pour on yourself, the stronger you get. You don’t even need to drink it — just stand in a puddle of milk to absorb it over time.

Milk Percentage Meter: Tracks how “milked up” you are. At 100%, your movement speed, HP, regen, and melee damage skyrocket.

Speed Comparison: At full milk, you’re faster than even three Snake Oils on Werewolf or Vampire.

Combat Power: Around 70%+ milk, you start one-shotting enemies with melee attacks. Below that, you’re still incredibly strong.

Milk Efficiency Tip: Don’t waste milk — just drop 10% at a time and conserve it through the run.

Drawback: No gun damage boost. But honestly, who needs bullets when you’re basically a sprinting milk-powered wrecking ball?

Melee System Rework

Melee weapons got a major overhaul:

Charge Mechanic: You can now hold down attacks to charge them for extra damage.

Impact on Classes: This rework nerfs older melee-heavy classes like Vampire.

Synergy with Milkman: Since milk boosts melee, this makes the class even more broken.

Potions & Liquids – The Real Game Changers

This is where things get wild. The update introduces several new liquids and potions, each with crazy effects.

Important Liquids:

• Milk: Found around the map. Required for the Milkman and potions.
• Water: Can spawn or rain naturally.
• Kerosene: Found across the map. Used in explosive potions.
• Blood: Harvested from outlaws or your own character.
• Zombie Blood: Useless — don’t waste your time.
• Unicorn Blood: Extremely rare, either found by killing unicorns (brutal) or…

Created by striking water puddles with lightning! (Use holy water or crucifixes to trigger strikes.)

Devil’s Blood

Recipe: Mix Kerosene + Unicorn Blood

Effect: Creates a volatile red mixture. When ignited with a Molotov, it engulfs the entire area in fire, spreading far beyond the puddle.

Fire lasts indefinitely unless put out with water.

Pro Tip: Only use this potion if you’re playing as an Arsonist (who is fire-immune), or you risk burning yourself alive.

Troll Potential: This thing is so OP, you can wipe out whole zones or trap friends in an inferno. As seen in the video, it’s hilarious and devastating.

Holy Water & Molotov Changes

Holy Water: Still good — can help with lightning events (like creating unicorn blood).

Molotovs: Nerfed hard unless paired with potions like Devil’s Blood. On their own, they’re pretty bad now.

Fire System Overhaul

Fire now spreads more aggressively and is harder to extinguish.

If you catch on fire and don’t have water on you, you’re probably done for.

Arsonist Class Buffed: Now has fire immunity, making it viable again.

This update isn’t just about adding new content — it changes how you approach the entire game. Whether you’re lighting up towns with Devil’s Blood, zooming across the map as a milk-soaked maniac, or crafting rare potions from lightning-blessed puddles, the gameplay variety has exploded.
