The Pyro on radioactive materials

The HazMat Headcase is a community-created cosmetic item for the Pyro and Sniper. It replaces the Pyro's gas mask and covers the Sniper's head with the helmet from a hazmat suit. A faded Pyro class emblem is on the back of the mask, on either class.

This item has four styles, named "Safety First", "Reinforced", "Streamlined", and "A Serious Absence of Fear". The "Reinforced" style adds a metal visor over the mask, while "Streamlined" and "A Serious Absence of Fear" remove the right filter from the previously mentioned styles.

The HazMat Headcase was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
