The Gas Mask filter effect in Warzone has been a concern for players for a while now. Every time a player equips a Gas Mask, an effect is applied to their screens, which limits visibility. Since the mask is worn inside the gas circle, which already limits one's visibility, the filter effect can further deteriorate the situation, resulting in players being unable to see clearly what is around them.

Fortunately, there is a way in the shooter that can rid of this effect completely. This will allow you to see clearly, even while you have a Gas Mask equipped. That said, in this brief guide, we will take a closer look at how you can remove the Gas Mask filter effect in Warzone.


Guide to removing the Gas Mask filter effect in Warzone

Removing your Gas Mask filter effect in Warzone can be a little tricky. Follow these steps carefully to remove it:

  • First, you will need a regular Gas Mask and a Durable Gas Mask in your inventory.
  • Once you have both of them in your inventory, drop both the masks on the ground.
  • Proceed to pick up the regular Gas Mask.
  • When the animation for picking up the regular Gas Mask begins, immediately pick up the Durable Gas Mask.

That's it. If you follow the abovementioned steps correctly, the filter effect will be removed for you. However, you have to time it properly otherwise it won't work. You must pick up the Durable Gas Mask when the animation for equipping the regular Gas Mask is being played out.

If you time it correctly, this method will work and you will have a mask equipped with no filter effects. This will work in any game mode or playlist as long as you have the required Gas Masks.

That said, it is worth noting here that this appears to be a glitch at the moment. Call of Duty usually keeps track of all glitches in their games and might remove the ability to remove the filter with a future update. Hence, if you want to check it out, it is highly recommended to get into a match right now and try it out yourself.


That covers everything that you need to know about removing the Gas Mask filter effect in Warzone. This is a fantastic trick that allows you to equip a mask without affecting your visibility, so you can see clearly, even when you are inside the gas, thus giving you an advantage over your enemies.
