The Improvised Gas Mask (No Filter) is a homemade bottle mask with its rag filter taken out. It is worn in the eye mask slot and covers the head.
The empty mask is mostly a shell waiting for a new filter. Putting a Rag back in turns it into a working Improvised Gas Mask. Only the filtered mask guards against fumes and corpse sickness.
Until then it still keeps the head warm and dry and stops some scratches. Its costs are the same as the filtered mask: heavy discomfort, half sight and a short life. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The empty mask blocks more than half the wind and keeps out all rain on the head. It stops about a fifth of bites and half the scratches there. These figures match the filtered Improvised Gas Mask.
The Gas Mask (No Filter) stops fewer bites and scratches. It falls off far less often, though.
Discomfort rises sharply while the mask is worn. Sight drops to half. There is a one in five chance it falls off when the wearer is hit or knocked down.
The mask wears out fast. Each hit has an even chance to wear it down, and it holds only two points of condition.
It clashes with other face and eye gear. Glasses, eye patches, breathing masks, breathing apparatus and anything that covers the full head take its place.
Tailoring
The mask is the leftover from the Remove Rag from Improvised Gas Mask recipe. Put Rag in Improvised Gas Mask adds a clean Rag and makes it a working mask again. A used rag turns into a dirty rag over time, so a stock of clean rags keeps the mask working.
A new mask comes from Make Improvised Gas Mask. That recipe takes two Duct Tape, one Rag and an empty bottle.
Notes
- A clean Rag turns it back into a working Improvised Gas Mask.
- Only the filtered mask guards against fumes and corpse sickness.
- Clean rags are worth keeping as spare filters.
- Half the normal sight range makes it a poor mask for everyday wear.
