Gas Mask is an Item that causes enemies to have random chance to release a toxic gas cloud upon death. Other enemies that come into contact with the cloud will be set on fire.

Strategy

Gas Mask is a useful finisher. It can set enemies with low HP on fire, easily clearing rooms faster than before. It also synergizes with fire-based weapons and item loadouts to increase the amount of fire that appears.

Synergies

• Demon Lung - Allows the fire to last longer and deal more damage.
• Liquid Luck - Increases the chance of the gas cloud effect activating.

Trivia

• Cordelia's shop quote references the Pyro from Team Fortress 2 who can only communicate with muffled sounds due to wearing a gas mask.
• Roselia's shop references cooking drugs, as gas masks are frequently employed when dealing with toxic chemicals during drug synthesis. It could more specifically reference Breaking Bad, a popular crime drama series about drug trafficking, which resurged in internet popularity around the time that the item was first introduced in the Home Theater update due to the success and conclusion of its spin-off prequel series Better Call Saul.
