The Gas Mask Filter is the canister that makes a Gas Mask work. It runs down with use and can be refilled.
Its use is simple. Fitting it to a Gas Mask (No Filter) turns it into a working Gas Mask. A spent filter can be recharged with charcoal and a few common items. That keeps a mask in service for a long time.
The filter comes in two looks. The Gas Mask Filter is the factory piece. The Gas Mask Filter - Crafted is the handmade one, made by recharging a spent filter. Factory filters are found in army surplus stores and army lockers. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Tailoring
The Recharge Filters recipe restores a spent filter. It uses a Sponge, a piece of charcoal, a Rag, glue and tape, with a mortar and pestle that is kept. No skill level is needed. The same recipe also recharges respirator filters.
Research Craft on a factory filter teaches Make Gas Mask Filter, Recharge Filters and Make Improvised Gas Mask. The crafted filter teaches Recharge Filters and Make Improvised Gas Mask.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Gas Mask Filter and teaches the recipes below.
