Contaminated Zones
corroborated
Short answer
Do not enter toxic gas with partial protection. Full current-version protection and a working mask/filter plan are required.
Also: gas zone · toxic zone · NBC zone · contamination
What to do
Verify complete protective equipment. Verify mask/filter condition. Plan an exit route. Enter only when the expected loot/risk makes sense. Leave immediately if protection fails.
How it works
Contaminated zones combine environmental damage, equipment requirements and medical contingency. The public page should distinguish static and dynamic events.
