Hazmat suit

Hazmat Suit is an item in Deus Ex that is used to provide resistance to damage from toxins, gases, and radiation for a limited duration. Each hazmat suit takes up one slot in the inventory. Hazmat suits can usually be found near hazardous areas.

Use
Hazmat suits provide resistance to the following damage types:


 * Poison/Poison Effect – Damage caused by tranquilizer darts and Greasel spits. Resistances also reduces the length of the poison effect.
 * Poison Gas – Damage caused by poison barrels.
 * Tear Gas – Damage caused by gas grenades and the pepper gun.
 * Halon Gas – This damage type does not harm the player, but resistance against it is provided.
 * Radiation – Damage caused by environment objects such as toxic waste barrels and toxic waste spills, and by Grays.

The amount and duration of resistance depends on the Environmental Training skill as follows:

Despite the in-game description, hazmat suits do not provide any resistance against fire (flame/burn damage), electricity (shock damage), and EMP.

The function of Hazmat suits overlaps with that of the Environmental Resistance augmentation, which provides resistance against the exact same damage types. If a hazmat suit is worn while Environmental Resistance is active, the two sources of resistance are applied as sequential percentage reductions.
