The Gas Trap is a trap item obtained by throwing a Whoopie Cushion into Shimmer. It can also be activated from Chests in No traps and Get fixed boi worlds.

After being placed in a storage item, the Gas Trap will activate the next time that storage item is opened, dealing 20 / 40 / 60 damage to nearby players and 10 damage to nearby enemies, NPCs, and critters, and inflicting all entities within a small radius with the Poisoned debuff for 49 seconds / 1 minute 38 seconds / 2 minutes 3 seconds. The Gas Trap then becomes a Used Gas Trap and can only be refilled by throwing it into Shimmer, producing a new Gas Trap. Only one Gas Trap will be used at a time whenever a player opens a storage item if multiple are inside. A Gas Trap will not activate if the storage item it was placed in is opened in a singleplayer world while autopause is enabled.

Notes

• The Gas Trap's clouds damage all entities in a rectangular area. Over the course of 1.27 seconds after activation, this rectangle expands from 3.125×3.125 tiles to 18.75×18.75 tiles, and then it lingers for another 0.07 seconds before disappearing. This means that its maximum horizontal and vertical range is 9.375 tiles.
• The Gas Trap's clouds inflict the Poisoned debuff on all entities in a separate, circular area. Over the course of 0.27 seconds after activation, this circle's radius increases from 0 to 11.25 tiles, and then it lingers for another 1.07 seconds before disappearing.
• The Gas Trap's cloud projectiles share the exact same sprite as the toxic cloud projectile created by the Toxic Flask. It also has similar behavior to said weapon, though it inflicts damage to players, NPCs, and enemies.

Trivia

• The Used Gas Trap is the only non-junk/badly reforged item to have the -1* rarity.
