Rust Anti-Rad Tea

Recipe & tiers

Brew at a Mixing Table or Cooking Workbench. The order of berries in the slots matters — check the Berry & Tea Reference if unsure. The Tea Brewery Calculator tells you how many of each tier you can brew from your current berry stockpile.

When to use it

Heavy-rad monuments: Launch Site, Military Tunnels, Train Yard, Underwater Labs. Drink before entering — 30 minutes is plenty for a monument clear with loot run.

What it stacks with

• Hazmat suit — Stacks multiplicatively — tea + hazmat lets you stay almost indefinitely
• Anti-rad pills — Different mechanic (pills clear current rad, tea reduces incoming)
• Max Health Tea — For unexpected PvP at the monument

What it doesn't stack with

• Another Anti-Rad Tea — replaces, doesn't double up.

Tips from the wipe meta

• Green berries are mid-rarity; plant a small green-berry plot once per wipe just for Anti-Rad teas.
• If you're in a hazmat already, the marginal gain from Anti-Rad Tea is smaller — but for green/red protection setups it's huge.
• Don't drink it before you've confirmed your route; 30-minute buffs feel long but disappear fast in monument runs.

Common mistakes

• Drinking for low-rad monuments like Outpost — you don't need it.
• Relying on Anti-Rad Tea instead of a hazmat for Launch Site — the tea reduces, doesn't eliminate rad damage.
