Air Purifying Respirators (short form: APR) are gas masks worn by multiple factions in ArmA 3. They were added with the release of the Contact DLC.

Overview

This is a premium asset that requires ownership of the Contact expansion pack.

Used by NATO, LDF, CSAT and Russian military scientists/specialist infantry personnel, these full face Air Purifying Respirators (APR) are designed to protect the wearer from NBC hazards. Regardless of model, all APRs weigh a total "mass" of 8 units apiece.

They rely on manual breathing through special filters (one is typically plugged in to allow shouldering a weapon). Most designs also feature connectors to allow for drinking canteens and/or communications headsets to be attached onto them.

Camouflage

NOTE: NATO APRs are restricted to using only a Black camouflage scheme.

• Black: Matte/chrome black colour scheme.
• Olive: Olive green colour scheme.
• Sand: Khaki brown colour scheme.

Trivia

• APRs are purely cosmetic and do not have any gameplay use outside of the First Contact campaign and other scripted mini-campaigns/scenarios.
• There are alternate variants of the APR that lack the chemical filters fitted onto the mask itself. They cannot be used in-game without resorting to scripting commands or custom addons, however.
• BLUFOR/INDFOR APRs are based on the real-world "M50 Joint Service General Purpose Mask" (JSGPM) widely used by the U.S. military.
• The REDFOR APR is modelled after the "PMK-S" panoramic full face gas mask in limited use with the Russian Armed Forces and some internal security services.
