The use of the gas mask, might be a good idea ..

Yea maybe if they added toxic clouds as a weather. Roaming around the map.
But I think they were made to look tacticool.

Eventually they'll have a use, but right now like silencers, they're just in the game.  This would most likely be a way to protect yourself against infectious diseases in certain areas when they are added.  IE clomping around a mass grave or near bodies.

Yes yes, but if the air we breathes the player would be toxic. got it!

Tear gas! :D

I hope they make them required to visit some specific parts of the map, or make them useful against tear gas or something.

One day I hope to see a modder to implement Metro/STALKER mix mash into dayz

Tear gas grenades, possibly an area 1-2km squared saturated with an area denial agent like VX [logical backstory being they tried it to kill zombies] maybe at a border post to be added in the NW corner of the map.

With hyperthermia I don't think many of us will wear the gas mask..

The gas mask will probably have (more) practical uses later on, just like any sort of similar mask (normal mask included).

Still useful right now, if you ask me. It can be considered minor camo in some circumstances or under some visual settings, as the base color (pristine or damaged) fits the surrounding areas more than bare skin most of the time.
