Full face gas mask with two small built-in filters. Used to protect from airborne pollutants and contaminated air. In-game description
The Combat Gas Mask is a full-face protective mask with an integrated filter in DayZ. It allows safe travel within contamination zones and prevents survivors from catching or spreading the Common Cold through Sneezing and Coughing.
While worn, the mask slightly impairs vision and disables eating or drinking actions. As long as it has some filter durability remaining, it also lowers the survivor’s Stamina recovery and increases its drain rate.
A damaged mask can be repaired with a Tire Repair Kit or Epoxy Putty. Repairing the mask will not restore its filter.
The remaining filter is shown by a white quantity bar at the bottom of the item’s icon in the inventory, quick bar slot or when held in hands. Inside PO-X gas, the filter depletes after 12.5 minutes. Outside of PO-X gas, it lasts about 125 minutes. Once the filter is fully depleted, the mask no longer protects against lethal toxins, causing rapid Gas Poisoning.
When the filter is almost depleted, the survivor's breathing will become harsher and the mask will start to fog up.
