How to Build a Gas Mask in Grounded

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of crafting a gas mask in Grounded. This essential item allows you to safely fight stink bugs and venture into the haze without taking consistent damage. Follow these steps to gather the necessary materials and create your own gas mask.

Required Materials

To build a gas mask, you’ll need to gather the following items from the head section of your crafting menu:

4 Woven Fiber

2 Crude Rope

1 Stink Bug Part

Scrolling to the Head Section

Open your crafting menu and scroll down to the bottom of the head section. You’ll find the gas mask recipe listed here with all the required materials displayed.

Obtaining Stink Bug Parts

The most challenging material to obtain is the stink bug part. You cannot simply kill a stink bug directly without taking corrosive damage. Instead, use this strategy:

The Safe Stink Bug Farming Method

To safely get stink bug parts without taking excessive damage, follow these steps:

Locate a stink bug in the game world

Shoot the stink bug from a distance to get its attention

Lure the stink bug toward other insects such as ants or ladybugs

The other insects will be attacked by the stink bug and will turn on it in retaliation

Continue shooting the stink bug from afar while the other insects fight it

Wait for the corrosive damage effect to dissipate

Once it’s safe, move in and loot the stink bug to collect the stink bug parts

Crafting Your Gas Mask

Once you have all four required materials, return to your crafting menu and navigate back to the head section where the gas mask recipe is located. Select the gas mask and press the space bar to craft it.

Gas Guard Effect

Your newly crafted gas mask comes equipped with the “Gas Guard” effect. This protective ability prevents you from taking the periodic damage that normally occurs when venturing into haze areas—those green-tinted zones visible throughout the map.

Summary

You now have everything you need to craft a gas mask in Grounded. By gathering 4 Woven Fiber, 2 Crude Rope, and 1 Stink Bug Part, you can create this vital piece of equipment. Use the safe farming method of enlisting other insects to fight stink bugs for you, then craft your mask and enjoy exploring the haze without taking damage. With the Gas Guard effect active, you’ll be well-equipped to face stink bugs and navigate hazardous areas with confidence.
