Making the different Dead Rails Potions allows you to create nifty items to help on your journey, with each giving you a unique ability. We’ll go through them all in this guide and explain how they work.
Start brewing potions in Dead Rails. If you think you have what it takes to take on a challenge, check out our Dead Rails Scorched Earth Challenge Guide. We also have a Dead Rails Classes Guide that goes through each.
Dead Rails Potions Guide
Potions are a new mechanic to Dead Rails. If you combine the necessary ingredients, you can brew a potion that has a unique effect when you use it! Now, let’s find out what you need and the different potions available.
Potion Ingredients
These are the key ingredients you need for potions, and where to find them.
- Blood
- You can either find bottles with blood inside around the map, or by killing opponents.
- Unicorn Blood
- Kill a unicorn.
- Water
- Found in bottles around the map.
- Falls as rain, forming puddles on the ground when the weather is active.
- Kerosene
- Also found in bottles around the map.
- Falls as rain in the Scorched Earth game mode.
- Milk
- You can either get this from someone (or yourself) in the Milkman glass, or in bottles found around the map.
