Why don't we have gas masks?

like really, think about it. we're wearing full face masks anyways, why don't they have respirators built into them?

you have super destroyers floating on the sky raining down bombardments. what makes you think whatever helmet you have aren't already futuristic gas masks?

He probably doesn't realized that the gas we use melts everything and that our closed suit system is made to handle hostile environments only.

You are wearing a helmet, that is entirely sealed. The reason the Gas Strike does damage is because its highly corrosive gas. Which is why it works on Bots as well as Bugs.

One of the warbonds is centred around arc protection armour, that's the only buff they all have.

I expect we'll get a similar thing for gas or fire damage in future.

i hope we do, because on missions with heavy fog or especially spores, people often walk straight into my gas without realising it, often before i have the time to frantically shout at them to turn around, and then they die to it even though the gas strike was in an originally safe position.

we im pretty sure we do ! im pretty sure within those helmets we have breathing apparatus in them ! why do you think we dont? i mean we dont choke and die in brutal sandstorms ! if you mean the gas hurting us from the gas stratergym ?! well that gas is obviously not just a problem to breath but a corrosive gas as it kills the robot that dont need to breath!

By the way, to everyone who is saying that the suit/helmet is sealed like a space suit, have you ever played on a planet with sandstorms? Because I have, and I noticed that during the sandstorm the character coughs a lot more than they do outside of a sandstorm. Which, as you know, shouldn't be an issue for a sealed suit.

i never noticed that, that's kinda weird. i mean we can survive the spores, and insanely hot environments, so maybe they're coughing because the sand is clogging the filters or something? idk, that doesnt even really make sense considering the fact that for the superheated environments you'd think that it'd have to be a scba system and not pulling air from the environment, at least not all the time, and definitely not in those environments, unless you want to fry the helldivers lungs, which are quite sensitive to extremely high temperatures like that. maybe its a developer oversight? and in that case, how do we drown, we should just be able to use the scba system to breathe underwater.
