Overview[1]
Milkman is a class in Dead Rails — Your health, damage, speed and health regeneration speed increase based on the amount of milk on you..
Cost: 75 Bonds The Milkman starts with a Bottle of Milk, once the milk is poured on the player, they get a massive damage increase and speed buffs scaling with how covered the user is in Milk. Unfortunately, the damage increase only affects melee weapons and does not affect gun damage. When covered in Milk, the player's stats are changed: The maximum speed at 100% Milk is 83 (5.1875x). It is currently unknown if this accumulates linearly. The player deals 3.5% more damage for each milk percentage, maxing at 4.5x damage (Shovels would deal 135 damage, Excalibur would deal 405 damage). This may or may not be outdated. The maximum health at 100% Milk is 200. It is currently unknown if this accumulates linearly. 0.02 HP regeneration per milk percentage and second (maxes at 2 HP/s). This may or may not be outdated. 1x Shovel 1x Bottle of Milk The buffs, while temporary, are extremely strong at higher percentages. Extremely powerful when raining milk due to the buffs being essentially permanent until the rain stops. Gives Milk another purpose than using it for Primordial Soup. Starts with a Bottle of Milk. Milk can be infinitely reused by pouring one drop, standing on it, and picking it back up before it disappears completely. The Milk effect is temporary and must constantly be replenished for the class to be effective. Useless when it's raining any other liquid due to the other liquid preventing the Milk from being applied. Very expensive at 75 Bonds.

Strategies
When pouring Milk in a corner, the Milk can glitch out, allowing the player to get 100% covered without actually using any Milk. It can also be duplicated. Can be useful for the 'Electric Remains' Challenge. The buffs are extremely useful when raiding Towns and other Structures. Ensure that the Milk effect does not run out at a bad time since if it does, the player will be left vulnerable. When you plan to speedrun the game with Milkman (with or without help or glitch), it is always recommended to prioritizes Bandages over Snake Oil when you want to be always covered in Milk, since Bandages heals you in one time, more common to find, doesn't interfere with your speed, and most importantly, you can't use Snake Oil much since instead of buffing your speed, it will cancel Milk's speed effect instead. However, taking Snake Oil with you is still important for emergencies, when you can't rely on Milk. You can also have infinite Milk by exploiting the game's mechanics. Start by dropping 2.5% (3 drops/ the smallest puddle) of Milk. Then, cover yourself in Milk. Make sure to recollect the Milk once you reached around 50% Milk coverage. This doesn't duplicate or make the process faster, however guarantees no sudden glitches risking the possibility to LOSE your Bottle of Milk. Perform this move twice before losing lots of milk will get you 100% Milk coverage in no time. Pouring Milk directly below you (using the rotate feature) will cause it to always be at the same percentage while still allowing the player to get covered without issues.
Strategy
Milkman is the first class that gives Milk a purpose other than making Primordial Soup. Using Snake Oil while the Milk is still in effect will cancel it. When fully covered in Milk, Milkman has the fastest walk speed and regeneration speed in the entire game. It will take ten seconds to travel 1000 meters if the player is 100% covered in Milk. Assuming the player does not stop, it will take 800 seconds to reach the end, which is 13:20 minutes. The hat and the name for the class takes inspiration the of the Milkman from the video game Psychonauts. The character is known for the quote, "I am the Milkman. My milk is delicious." which is sometimes used in memes. If the Milkman is 100% covered in milk, and drinks Snake Oil, they will unfortunately slow down instead of speeding up. Milkman is the one of the classes that can technically heal in the game without relying on Bandages, Snake Oil, or natural regeneration, which is useful in Nightmare Mode. The others being Vampire (Class) and Zombie (Class). This class is considered to be one of the best classes in the game by players. It seems that using this class increases the chances of rain on the day Previously, the milkman's bottle was outdated and could not be thrown. This bug has been fixed.
