![]() In Metro: Last Light, the type of gas mask Artyom and Anna (along with countless NPCs) use look almost identical to the type used by Russian firefighters, which one would presume cannot offer adequate protection against radiation.The gas mask filters the player character uses are very large (bigger than Artyom's hand), but the filters appear very small before being picked up.This is more realistically depicted in Metro Exodus, where the gas mask works normally until it becomes too cracked, whereby the player character is no longer protected from hazardous gas. Instead, it would simply leak in poisonous air. ![]() In real life, a crack in the mask would not affect the filter at all. In the game, if the gas mask becomes cracked, it reduces the air filter's duration.This visor design makes the mask much more resistant to damage, rendering it a lot harder to crack. It employs a more advanced composite material as its base, thus providing increased ballistic protection. Heavier variant of the standard Spartan helmet. These filters employ fibrous filtering materials with a larger than usual amount of absorbing agent, thus increasing their useful life. All upgrades are listed below.Ī mandatory piece of equipment every Spartan wears, the helmet provides adequate ballistic protection, and, which is very important during the sorties to the Surface, makes provisions for quick and convenient usage of a gas mask. In Metro Exodus, the gas mask, together with the Spartan helmet, count as one piece of equipment that can be upgraded at a workbench. It is necessary, but the player doesn't have to do it often, but only if it needs to be done (or if the player feels like their vision is too obscured). In Metro: Last Light, whenever liquid gets on the gas mask (if the character is wearing it at the time), the player character can wait for it to naturally get off, or quickly wipe off the gas mask.In most cases, Artyom has about 50 seconds to find a new gas mask or a new filter before dying. This can be used as an easy means of telling how much time is left on a filter. Artyom's mask becomes increasingly foggy with condensation as his filter runs out.Paying attention to breathing patterns is more useful in Metro 2033 than in Last Light, as in Last Light the indicator on the watch is easier to notice. ![]() Artyom's breathing will be faster while the filter is about to be changed, this is handy in Ranger difficulties since the indicator on Artyom's watch can be hard to read sometimes, especially if player's graphics setting is low.So he can save filters if he just wear the mask every 30 Seconds. Artyom's breathing can be slowed down by standing near a source of fire.If Artyom sprints or jumps the gas mask time will be not affected, however high radiation areas will make the filter deplete faster.Ī mixture of different masks from different nationalities, from Czech to Russian to German to others, appear in the games. Strangely at the end of the game, Artyom is seen with a Rangers helmet and visor instead of the full-faced mask. ![]() Even if his gas mask is severely damaged or completely broken he can only replace it with another full-faced mask. There are more than 5 different kinds of gas masks found throughout the game but Artyom seems to be wearing only the full-faced standard mask regardless of suit purchased. ![]()
