How to Prevent Artifact Radiation

The Rat King artifact gives off Weak Radiaton, meaning you will take radiation buildup and damage over time while this artifact is equipped in your suit's artifact slot.

Radiation buildup can be prevented by having Weak or more Radio Protection artifacts equipped, or by placing the radioactive artifact inside a Lead Container.
