Enhance Your Survivor’s Protection with Better Masks

In the harsh world of Project Zomboid, staying protected is paramount, and this mod significantly expands your options for respiratory defense. Better Masks introduces a wide array of new facemasks, respirators, and the crucial medical mask boxes needed to store them. This isn’t just about adding more items; it’s about integrating them realistically into your gameplay.

A More Believable Distribution

Finding essential gear should feel earned, and Better Masks adjusts item rarity to reflect this. While masks are now more challenging to come by overall, increasing the tension of your scavenging runs, you’ll still find a decent concentration of medical masks in their natural habitats like hospitals and pharmacies. This thoughtful rebalancing ensures that acquiring protection feels like a significant victory.

Improved Aesthetics and Functionality

Beyond sheer variety, the mod brings visual improvements. Several 3D models for existing mask types have been refined, offering a more polished look. New icons have been added for mask boxes, and importantly, for empty ones, making inventory management clearer. Furthermore, all added items now possess WorldStaticModel properties, and ZombiesZoneDefinition has been implemented, meaning you might encounter the undead wearing masks themselves, adding another layer of surprise to encounters.

Key Features at a Glance:

  • Extensive collection of new facemasks and respirators.
  • Realistic rarity adjustments for mask spawns.
  • Improved 3D models for enhanced visual fidelity.
  • New icons for mask boxes, including empty ones.
  • Zombies can now occasionally spawn with masks equipped.
  • All masks offer the functionality to be pulled up or down.
  • Compatibility patches available for other popular mods like “Working Masks.”

Where to Find Your Gear

Scouring the ruins for these essential items will lead you to various strategic locations. Expect to find them in hospitals, clinics, police stations, military installations, and other areas where protective equipment might have been stored or used.

This mod is also fully translated into Brazilian Portuguese, English, Korean, Russian, and Spanish, ensuring a seamless experience for a global player base. For those who desire an even higher chance of finding masks, an optional addon is available to roughly double their spawn rate.
