Gas Mask Debuff Discussion

[Kotlol]

Honestly, this is more a merf to antags than anyone else. Because while it maybe hits some secoffs, it will always hit antags that prepare.

Do antags in general need a nerf? No, not really.

For smoke warfare, there is skin-pen smoke. And smoke already is the most superior delivery method chemistry has to offer.
Foam could be a vaible alternative.  Just need sone better chems for it to work, really.

Basically the nerf to gas masks needs to be for those who wear them for extended periods of time.
Science for one wears them all shift and therefor are untouchable by gas attacks.

It's also more benefical for all players to just snag a gas mask and wear it all game. Not just antags.

There is just no deterant for sec to not all wear gas masks all the time. Unlike internals where you have to keep an O2 tank on you at all times.
Gas masks filter out most chems without having to wear an O2 tank and if there is no air, you can wear an O2 tank as well.
