Plague Doctor-styled cosmetics are found across many games and are almost universally considered highly desirable by players. There is something alluring and innately creepy about the beaked design — in a cool way. The Plague Doctor mask has found its way in countless gaming franchises over the years, and it is now in New World as well, where many players would love to get their hands on it.
New World has a variety of armor sets, some of which look cool and some which have strong stat and ability modifiers attached to them. The Plague Doctor Mask is part of one of those good sets that fall right in the middle: they look great and also provide strong utility to a player’s build. The set provides corruption and physical damage resistance, a small cooldown reduction, and a buff to Focus and Intelligence, making it fit in a handful of meta builds. It is no wonder that many New World players would love to get the Plague Doctor set, in particular its beaky Plague Doctor Mask headpiece.
