Place Gas Masks Around The Colony

[Steelpoint]

Summary: Survivors right now have no defence against facehuggers, once any single runner gets a hugger its game over for even the most well stocked survivor.

My proposal is that a few limited amounts of gas masks are littered around the colony to allow survivors some form of defence against facehuggers.

Benefits: This will slightly increase the life expectancy of survivors and take a little more effort for aliens to infect the survivors.

Implementation: Place some gas masks around the colony.

I don't remember, but isn't there a hardsuit helmet in the Powerplant? I know there's a hardsuit exo there at the very least. Not that I disagree with this suggestion. +1

I'd probably put them around places you'd think there would be gasmasks. Science, Sec, etc.

Gas Masks has never once blocked a facehugger in this SS13 Colonial Marines...

They have a very low chance but yeah it's rare.

That's actually funny as on the two occasions I've worn a gas mask both time's they've blocked a facehugging attempt.

If that's not the case then I still present this idea but with a alternative head gear item that's more fitting for a colony, such as a mining helmet or something.

Now Gas Masks no longer block facehuggers.

My point stands even more that Survivors need to be able to find some form of hugger protection, because right now they are utterly vulnerable to Aliens from the get go and the nerf of Gas Masks has made this situation even worse.
