furynation 0 Posted April 1, 2014 When people use gas masks do you guys think they are raiders or bandits? Every time when me and my crew are running around whenever we see someone with a gas mask they are usually hostile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veristaya 71 Posted April 1, 2014 I used to wear them simply because it looked hella cool with a ballistic helmet, but since the general perception of people wearing gas masks is pretty much what you said, I stopped that as I'm not hostile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captain_finnish 134 Posted April 1, 2014 Gas mask usually shows that player is new or kid. So therefore KOS instantly them :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMentMan 707 Posted April 1, 2014 i don´t like the gas mask, because it makes me look like a bandit, and i want to look like a soldier, i look like some social force with the gas mask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DropBearChick 1216 Posted April 1, 2014 Never used a gas mask, never will, unless they release toxic gases and such 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tikka (DayZ) 47 Posted April 1, 2014 Obviously kids. Ever tried to walk 20 km or more with a gas mask? Or even better with full (even the light one) ABC clothing? Sometimes I thought I'd rather die than marching on...So I will only start to use gasmask when there is a reason for doing so... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jex 1104 Posted April 1, 2014 Gas mask is great in a room full of CS gas until your instructor tells you to take it off and call out your name and number and maybe what your dogs name is.... Like Spartan alludes, it would be great if they had a use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ankhenaten 111 Posted April 1, 2014 Gas masks are mandatory, too many lactose intolerant nerds on these servers. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irl-calibre 744 Posted April 1, 2014 I think as long as they are just cosmetic all types of face cover is being viewd as bandit, still only KOS clowns though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zalvager 51 Posted April 1, 2014 The only people I contemplate (note: keyword contemplate) KoS are people who wear gas masks, Pay Day masks, or obvious killers/bandits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hannibaldaplaya 1095 Posted April 1, 2014 This discrimination based on cosmetic choice is kind of silly.I know plenty of friendlies who will wear gas masks, just becayse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would know the fog was coming because you'd see animals running passed you trying to get away from it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irl-calibre 744 Posted April 1, 2014 This discrimination based on cosmetic choice is kind of silly.I know plenty of friendlies who will wear gas masks, just becayse. but, it's not simply "cosmetic" just because someone unwittingly dresses as a bandit is their problem, they need to level up :) You can see in all the discussion on the matter that it's generally becoming accepted that heroes don't cover their faces and bandits do , you can either go with the lore or not, but there are consequences for how you dress in the game whether the player is sufficiently aware of it or not.

Jex 1104 Posted April 1, 2014 You sir have just made my day...this seems like a cracking idea :) have a tin of beans on me :) Nice one :) I think a game like this needs events like this. Something fairly rare and random to keep the players on their toes. When u have forever to play a game, you need a few things thrown in to keep things interesting. A dev team coming up with new things to throw in every few months would be good too. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
