The Plague Doctor's Mask is a type of clothing featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone. It is only available during Halloween. It is a mask worn by Plague doctors to "protect" themselves from the plague.
Description[]
"Bring out your dead."
Background[]
One of the most devastating pandemics in Europe's history was the Black Death. Plague doctors were hired to treat the masses — a daring job, given how contagious the disease was. These second-rate doctors usually wore waxed garments made of heavy fabric, a wooden cane to examine patients without touching them, and a beak-like mask filled scented substances like mint, clove, myrrh, lemon balm and/or rose petals and straw, meant to filter "the putrid air that was the cause of the infection".
A sight of relief (and terror) during the peak of the Black Death, nowadays it is used as a carnival mask, especially in Venice.
Effect[]
In addition to altering a survivor's appearance, it also provides a 10% boost to Suppression Resistance.
How to obtain[]
