Lab Mask

Lab Mask is an airtight protective mask associated with laboratory and industrial environments. The item is described as a hermetic mask commonly used by people who handle dangerous chemicals. It appears across multiple maps and facilities, typically found in rooms related to lab work, sanitation, medical areas, and utility spaces.

Lab Masks spawn in a number of predictable locations across several sites:

• Cascade Laboratories: multiple spawns on level 2 (near the Holding Cell in a room upstairs by sinks; a room upstairs from the lobby near the toilets; in the Wildlife Pens) and level 3 (Adjustment). Additional spawns occur in the Control Center near where the Leyak Essences are placed (including an upstairs spot from the kitchen and another near barrels, cement and pipes).
• Hydroplant: in the Waterfall Apartments within the room that contains the Voidpack recipe, and outside the Hydroplant building in a small room with a level 5 keypad and a ladder leading down.
• Voussoir: five Lab Masks are distributed throughout the first building.
• Reactors: multiple Lab Masks are scattered through the Dusk, Gale and Cloud Reactor areas. Several uniquely colored Lab Masks have fixed locations in the Dusk Reactor: a green Lab Mask in the Medical Clinic beside a Neophyte; a pink Lab Mask on a desk in the reactor office near a photocopier with a Volatile Exor patrolling the cubicles; a yellow Lab Mask in the women’s bathroom of the Dusk Reactor office area; and a black Lab Mask tucked behind two chairs in a side room past the kitchen area.

Visual presentation and variants are notable: Lab Masks exist in multiple colors, and the item gallery shows all color variants. Specific colored masks, especially those named above in the Dusk Reactor, are unique spawns and serve as recognizable landmarks when navigating office and medical spaces.

Practical notes for use and search:

• Check lab, medical, toilet, kitchen-adjacent and utility rooms first when searching for Lab Masks; these areas have the highest spawn density.
• Office clusters and clinic rooms in reactor complexes often contain uniquely colored masks, which can aid in orientation or identifying fixed-item spawns.
• Small secured rooms (keypad-locked) and upstairs rooms near plumbing or sinks are common hideouts for this item; verify ladders and side passages adjacent to main access routes.
• Because Lab Masks appear across multiple map sectors, they are reliable finds when you need equipment associated with chemical or lab-themed locations.
