Poison Gas



Poison Gas is a dangerous, green gas created by Spore Flowers, Poison Pillars, and Elite Stingers, that deals 5 damage per second to the engineer. Other creatures don't seem to take any damage from poison gas. The Gas Mask can be used to temporarily prevent taking damage from it. Spore Flowers will stop producing poison gas when blown up, but currently there is no way to get rid of poison pillars.

Some areas of the map are filled with poison gas without there being Spore Flowers, Poison Pillars, or any other source for it.

The screen turns red while in poison gas, even with the Gas Mask equipped. Crash Sites, Power Slugs, Mercer Spheres and Somersloops are sometimes located in poison gas.

Trivia
If the engineer only stays in the poison gas for less than 1 second, then no damage will be taken.
