Should gas masks make it easier to see through smoke?

[Go_Coup]

Considering there isn't always a coughing sound and it's a logical mechanic, I think there should either be a penalty for not wearing the mask or a benefit for wearing one, regarding vision inside of smoke. They could blur the screen of players inside of smoke without a gas mask, and they could add a vignette to go with it.

Imagine thinking the game is going to get any better. Imagine thinking the devs are actually working on this game in any meaningful way

They are going to release a new game mode which I'm interested in: Hardcore Checkpoint. They're considering allowing us to change the magnification levels of sights. They intend on adding more voices/dialogue. They're actually working on the game.
Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are working on the console version. The game is already worse than it should be because they're catering to a gamepad, and now they're not updating as quickly as they could because they're working on a console release. However, that will get them more money which can be spent on further improvements.

Gas Mask should not hinder scrolling through your weapons at the very least. Try cycling equipment with and without a gas mask in your inventory.

I've never noticed that, Casual. That's a weird bug.

Why are you even scrolling through equipment without having a dedicated button for each slot? What are you, a flithy casual?

Casual Sun already created a thread for this complaint (and others). No need to let them hijack this thread any more than they already have, yeah?

Gas mask should not provide vision through smoke, but I never wear a gas mask and can't remember ever having died from chemical weapons. Maybe the effects of chemical weapons need to be strengthened to necessitate donning a mask?

[Go_Coup]

I'm okay with increasing the damage of chemicals, but it seems really odd that someone can see just as fine inside of smoke whether or not they wear a mask. I think a squinting and blurring effect would be great for immersion and for buffing smokes. Considering that we can't run around with 6 smokes, they seem pretty weak.

Real life smoke is very noxious and hard on the eyes. The noxious part kinda exists - people cough their lungs out when walking through smoke - but it's not affecting the gameplay very significantly. Inhaling smoke without a mask should give heavy stamina penalty and generate strong suppression, there should be "tearing up" where vision becomes distorted as if entire screen was covered with a slow moving heat turbulence effect.
