The radiation suit is a powerup that appears as a white hazard suit. Picking one up will make the player immune to damaging floors for 60 seconds and fill their vision with a green haze. When 5 seconds remain, the green haze will begin blinking, signaling the end of the suit's effects. The suit has no armour value and does not protect the player from monster attacks.

For the 20% damaging floor types, there is a small chance (6/256 = 2.3%) that the damage will penetrate the radiation suit during a given second, thus reducing health (or health and armor combined) by 20%. However, it is much less likely that this would occur more than once during the lifetime of a suit.
