Oxygen Tanks, listed as "Oxygen" in the Gear selection menu, are crucial for survival in Thin Air conditions encountered at extremely high altitudes. Without an equipped Oxygen Tank, you would quickly black out and fail the run.
When you have an Oxygen Tank equipped, an oxygen capacity dial appears on your HUD (Heads-Up Display). This dial starts full and depletes with use. When the dial reaches the end of the red zone, you have run out of oxygen.
To use your Oxygen Tank, press RB/R1 (standard controls) or click the right thumbstick (classic controls). If you begin to black out, take oxygen periodically to avoid losing consciousness.
Oxygen Tanks have two primary stats that determine their effectiveness: TANK SIZE and OXYGEN QUALITY.
