Bottom post of the previous page:

But you don't need a gas mask to avoid atmospheric gases, you just need any breath mask at all. Everyone spawns with one in their internals box. They're free in emergency internals lockers.

The main point of tint is so that less crewmembers will be walking around being pepper-proof. Many other masks that are not being nerfed already conceal your identity, and literally everyone has a breath mask and oxygen tank in their backpack. Gas masks being pepper-proof was the main thing that sets them apart from the other masks. Therefore the main reason for the tint was to buff pepper-spray.

However buffing pepper-spray failed miserably because now sec gas masks no longer are pepper-proof. Why would security ever use pepper-spray now? Pepper-spray was hard enough to even hit your target with already, and now you have to worry about not hitting yourself or your fellow security officers.

I don't see many people walking around with gas masks on to begin with. The exception is if it's part of their job (atmospheric technician's gas mask, sechailer) or part of their character (I've seen this with exactly one person). It's always been a very conspicuous way to conceal your identity. There are more subtle ways to go about that.

If you want to buff pepperspray then make it so it moves faster or you can target them with it directly if you're adjacent to them (assuming it doesn't already work like this, I never bother with it).

the only thing i like about the whole gas mask nerf is that you can't as easily hide that you have secHUDs/glasses anymore. but yeah this is just ghilker trying to atmos powergame and i guess maintainers got tricked into thinking about pepperspray or the new FoV tech (which is kinda cool ngl).

anyhow, everyone in this thread owes me 5 moffins if ghilker opens up his 500th Removes Internal Boxes PR within 3 months bcuz of this

oranges asked for the pr first before it opened, whether or not ghilker has other motives is not important, but its certainly not about being "tricked"

Special gas masks (Sec yelling, Welding gas mask from Research, Atmospherics gas mask for AtmoTechs) should have normal tint/FoV/etc., since they're already special and limited in access rather than being freely available to basically everyone.

you don't need to reply to flatulent, it is painfully obvious they do not know what they are talking about.
