Stages
- Stage 1: coughing. It fades by itself once you leave the gas.
- Stage 2: coughing and vomiting, and each one costs blood. It won't fade on its own.
- Stage 3: you pass out and lose health fast, about 30 seconds from full health to dead. You can't treat yourself.
How you catch it
Breathing the gas in a toxic zone without a gas mask, and gas getting into open wounds.
How to avoid it
- Wear a gas mask and a full NBC suit in toxic zones. Without protection the gas opens bleeding wounds on your skin and gets into them.
On Is Dead
Our toxic gas zones move around and can land on any military zone, so check before you head in to loot.
