The '''gas mask''' is a piece of [[apparel]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]]. 

== Acquisition ==
Gas masks can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work.

== Summary ==
Gas masks increase [[Toxic Environment Resistance]] by {{+|80%}}, causing [[tox gas]], [[toxic fallout]], [[rot stink]], and [[pollution]] to be 20% effective. It does not protect from [[disease]]s, which are not contagious between pawns in RimWorld, nor does it prevent [[toxic buildup]] from attacks such as the [[cobra]]'s bite. [[Quality]] does not affect this resistance.

== Analysis ==
{{Rewrite|section=1|reason=Written before insulation and armor changes. Verify stats are correct, add them to the version history log and then rewrite/expand comparisonto helmets. note blunt armornis comparable to plasteel simple or steel flak}}
For many purposes, such as against [[rot stink]], a [[face mask]]'s 50% toxic resistance is sufficient. Face masks also do not cover the head and so can be worn along side [[simple helmet|simple]] and [[flak helmet]]s, unlike a gas mask. 

On the other hand, gas masks provide superior protection against [[toxic buildup]] and prevents the immediate effects of [[tox gas]] on sight, breathing, and pain.{{Check Tag|Verify and specify|Isn't it just that they build severity slower?}}

== Version history ==
* [[Biotech DLC]] Release - Added.
* [[Version/1.5.4062|1.5.4062]] - Armor and insulation bug fixed - previously gas masks had armor and insulation values defined as [[stuff]] effect multipliers but as the gas mask is not stuffable, this resulted in the gas mask offering no armor or insulation at all.
