Cheap dust mask

"'A dollar store dust mask can only do so much but it's better than nothing.'""- Description in-game from the player's inventory"

Overview:
A dust mask is a type of facewear in Our Worldly Woes.

Description:
A dust mask is used to protect the wearer from small particulate matter, in particular dust. The majority of these only cover half of the face (nose and mouth) and are meant for respiratory system protection only, perhaps solely meant for particulate matter that damages the lungs and other respiratory organs, as opposed to considerably more dangerous gases which can also damage the eyes.

Mass-produced and cheaply made, these dust masks aren't the best form of facial protection out there for a survivor, but they provide a small benefit nonetheless. These masks are not designed to be used to protect the wearer from dangerous gases or chemical agents. They are meant to be disposable and will filter out some particles, but they will not last very long and will need to be replaced after a short period of time of continuous use.

Statistics:
Dust Masks should not be used for much more past dust protection and simple splatter protection. They will not protect against biological threats and so should be used as a last resort piece of equipment, like the bandana worn over the face. They are nearly cosmetic in-game and will only provide a small bonus of protection to the player character or any other wearer. They can improve a survivor's morale however and can be useful to melee characters as they can temporarily block liquid splatter from inconveniencing them.
