“Complete the meta achievement for The Nightmares Within to unlock a special Gasmask Skin! As the latest design in air purification and toxin prevention, the Gasmask is a universal skin that can be applied to any piece of head armor.”

Says that that gasmask prevents from toxin, but it doesn’t seem to.

It’s not meant to…
That is just a little descriptor for the logistics behind why the people in the game world would have created it, the helmet itself doesn’t protect you from the toxins, that would give anyone who completed the meta a ridiculous advantage over everyone else and would make the condition itself really pointless…

Still though, I can understand why some people expected this :P

lol at this thread. I thought it would be obvious that it wouldn’t prevent Toxin. Besides, they never said whether it could be transferred through physical contact or through the skin.

I think it would be pretty neat if the gas mask really did this. What’s the harm in getting a advantage in the tower you already did multiple times. If toxin would be used in later patches/pvp it would be a different story but as it is now.. why not?

I bough the anti toxin for 25 skill points thinking it would be great to have another skill but its a replacement for my heal, now thats disapointment. As a thief my heal gave me stealth which was more important lol.

I imagine the toxins could still get through wounds and such.

Agreed. This would have been really cool and made it a truly unique item worth getting! Instead it is just another helm skin to go with the many others already in my bank.

It couldn’t be a skin then, but an actual item. Makes sense, but it is role-play, not game mechanics.
