Makeshift Gas Mask!

[aztec for president]

As the new Russia map features a lot of dead zones and such, I feel a makeshift gas mask could be put into play. Although the map is meant to promote the use of Gas Masks and Biohazard Hoods, another makeshift item would fit into the game easily, especially one like this.

I'd expect the crafting recipe would be along the lines of:
1*Tape + 1* Filter + 1* Snorkel = 1*Makeshift Gas Mask

The makeshift mask would act just like the normal gas masks, though the durability decreases slower than usual BUT cannot be refilled with additional filters (so when the mask hits 0%, it's useless, unlike the others you can refil with filters).
The recipe would require Crafting I to craft, alike the other makeshift items.

Thoughts?

Crafting II or III and it's a deal, considering the fact that all the items on this list are easy to scavenge.

y.
But this idea is ok I think at first I was like no then I saw that you said when it reached zero you could not fix it. maybe, but I think crafting3

I wouldn't mind a makeshift gasmask being a thing, considering I can never find one.

The reason for the deadzones is so that not everyone can just go there. And as much as Id love to see the crafting skill gaining more importance I fear that a craftable gas mask would disturb the map designs loot progression (aka better loot in deadzones, for players who gained enough loot to be able to survive there).

It would be very one time use. You would need a filter, a snorkel, chemicals, some rope, and some tape. Once it hit 0% it would dissappear, and it would use up its filter way faster due to imperfect craftmanship. You could not put new filters on it. Also, it would require max crafting, and max of something else like cooking and then another skill. So pretty much it is an expensive item that would not be that good. You would not get very far into deadzones with it, and it would take up a lot of inventory space.

Or maybe just dont add it I dont really care.

I like that but crafting 3 is better still

[Robosium]

Crafting II sounds good and at crafting three you could actualy scavenge the snorkel from a 0% makeshift gasmask. Just an idea but maybe it would also need a scuba tank and make the oxygen go down like 3% in a minute without skills

Gasmasks are supposed to be rare so only highly geared players could get into deadzones. This would just ruin the balance.

Thanks for sharing thoughts, it's interesting to see how everyone else thinks about this idea.

I think rather than a makeshift gasmask you should be able to make a makeshift filter with only half the durabuilty of a normal filter

It would be super terrible and super hard to make, so not even worth adding.

Really just camp firestations people.

Yeah. It would be much more efficient than running around trying to blindly find the ingredients to craft a makeshift mask that is pretty much just for laughing at it.
