    2. Gas Mask: Take only 1 gas based damage while the Gas Mask absorbs the rest. The mask absorbs 1000 damage (500 in VS) before breaking. Recharges in 3 minutes after breaking. Smoker smoke won't shroud vision while the gas mask is active. (Goggles)
    3. General Dominator: Removes map limits. On non-finale/survival maps, max stacks reduced to 10 and -5 seconds faster stack decay. (Finale Dominator)

    Notes: <top>
    • If you have binded the Goggles Buff with the Binder item, you can swap it out for the Finale Dominator Buff.
    • If you want some health regeneration over decreasing the power of bitch slaps against you, you can swap out the Counter Slap Buff for the Morphine Injector Buff.
    • If you prefer to gain defense while having temporary health with a buff enhancement over reducing damage taken from common infected, you can swap out the Infected Swarm Protection Buff for the Pain Stimulant Buff.
    • If you prefer to gain temporary health from killing infected over being able to try staggering the infected out of your way, you can swap out the Shoving Expert Buff for the Excitement Buff.
    • If you want to be more on the move rather than aggroing the infected along with gaining defense, you can swap out the Heavy Gunner Buff for the Mobility Master Buff. If you instead prefer to level up any class at class level 4 to class level 5, you can swap out either buff for the |Q| Prowess Buff.
