The Gasmask Citizen was a citizen that was cut from Half-Life 2. They are the earliest known models of the Citizens. There were only male versions of the citizens at the time. Their first appearance was in Get Your Free TVs! in 2001.

Equipment
The Gasmask Citizens had a clad in a rubber suit with a brown apron with the citizens face behind the gasmask. They were to have a black and transparent gasmask. In the Beta they are capable of picking up objects such as Rocks, Bottles, Grenades and Molotov Cocktails.

Maps
In most maps in the Beta the citizens appear to be standing still or walking around. In some maps like c17_01 citizens were to be working in factories as well as one talking to a Metro Cop. There is no current audio for it though. There was also to be a citizen lifting barrels with a hand truck and moving them but instead he standing behind the hand truck. In canals_town citizens were to stand in abandoned train carts helping the player by guiding them where to go next/resupply. They were to have hand built houses as well. In the tenth revision of rooftops Gasmask citizens were to pick up rocks and throw them at windows. While doing so one runs into a shed while the other hides behind the shed and two Wasteland Scanners blow up the shed killing both of them.

Weapons
The citizens were able to pick up objects and use them. They were able to pick up Rocks, Bottles, MK3A2 Grenade's and Molotov Cocktails. They were to also use all the weapons in the beta except the Irifle, CG Gun, Cremator's Flamethrower as well as the sniper rifle.
