Radiation shielding suit



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, signalling the end of the suit's effects. The suit has no armor value and does not protect the player from monster attacks.

A radiation suit can also be obtained with the cheat code idbeholdr.

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%. Due to the periodicity of the pseudorandom number generator used by the Doom engine, however, the probability of this occurring more than once during the lifetime of a given suit is extremely low.

Radiation suits are not included in the items percentage displayed at the end of each level.
