Getting Unicorn Blood in Dead Rails

Gameplay still (Image via Roblox)

Unicorn Blood is a fairly rare resource in Dead Rails, only available through Unicorns, Unicorn Blood Rain, and a lightning strike on a Liquid puddle. As such, you may only have a scant few bottles of the fluid at a time, unlike the other Liquids that are available in spades.

Getting Unicorn Blood most often requires you to encounter and kill a Unicorn. The mythical equestrian being appears in the game world at random, replacing existing horses at a 1% chance. When you find one, killing it will give you a bottle of the substance. You must have a Glass Bottle in your possession to collect it.

The second way to get it is the even rarer Unicorn Blood Rain. This weather event has a 0.5% chance of activating, dousing the map in Unicorn Blood. You can collect it in Glass Bottles and make the most out of the rare situation.

Lastly, if a puddle of any fluid happens to be struck by lightning, it will transform into Unicorn Blood. It doesn’t matter if the Liquid is Kerosene, Milk, or Water; the end result will always be the same. Since lightning strikes are equally as random as Unicorn Blood Rain, it’s advised not to rely on it as your primary source of the fluid.
