What are Gas Bombibg timings on official?

[Based_On_Cringe #FixTF2]

How much time between bombings and how long before gas disappears after bombing?
Thanks in advance.
I want to go into territory that gets bombed, but have no Hazmat suit, only gasmask. And it will not protect against Gas Poisoning through cuts on body.

You need full nbc gear.
It's worth collecting. Pox grenades in dynamic gas zones and top tier weapons at Rify.

I don't know at what intervals they happen but it's not really relevant because the places they hit are randomised so it's hard to say when the same place is gonna be hit again. From what I've heard the gas disappears in 30 minutes.

You can survive in the gas with only a mask without getting sick for about 15 minutes. Then you'll die of blood loss. So just bring lots of bandages with you and don't get stuck with zeds while bleeding. A blood bag might be a good idea too, in case you manage to get sick or really low on blood.

Thanks. I have also heard, there are around 45 seconds after flare and before gas starts to spread, and also it is possible to be safe on top of high buildings.
So it is possible to run away from zone or get up and stay there for 35 minutes until gas goes away.
Or just log off for 40 minutes in case of danger

Yeah running or getting up is viable option, although counting on getting high enough is risky unless you're sure the place you're going to is outside the gas, because the gas isn't at a fixed height from the ground except on a completely flat area.

I’ve heard that it also depends on the number of players on a server. For example, if you are the only player on and you’re near a dynamic gas zone, supposedly the chances of that zone getting hit are higher because you’re near it and the only one on.

Maybe someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

The type StaticContaminatedArea has a lifetime of 1800 seconds (30 minutes), while the event StaticContaminatedArea has a lifetime of 2100 seconds (35 minutes).

I can't confirm Jethro's point about spawnability, but in my experience, I feel bombarded with dynamic events, like heli crashes or gas zones, while alone on a server.
