Knocking off hats is fine but...

[Janky Nose Hair Guy]

So at first the whole hat this getting knocked off was cool but now it's annoying. See I can understand a cap or a berret but for protective equipment there's this thing people can up with 2,500 years ago called a chin strap... :)

I agree. Protective hats with chin straps should be very hard to knock off. Builders hard hats are fair game as I never really see them with chin straps. But I completely agree with you here. Its not easy to remove a helmet from someone with it secured in place.

Hopefully this implementation gets a little more attention. I am sure it will.

I had my welders mask knocked off by a zombie. Not sure how I feel about that, never really seen one up close.

Most would be reasonably easy to knock off. Most just sit on the head with a pull down visor. They aren't strapped in place.

A motorcycle helmet done up tight does not come off easily, or, they would immedlately fly off if you got in an accident.

I'll repost this request on the zomboid forums

If both motorcycle helmets and military helmets fall off, I'm kind of curious what "certain headwear" includes then. I'm starting to feel it's everything...

Not that it really should make a difference, but was that the full motorcycle helmet, that covers the face with a visor?

I can only assume it's either not working as intended or still a work in progress.

*On a sidenote; I really love the realism of hats and glasses falling off. But being the guy that never drops anything on the floor, I find myself constantly putting hats and glasses back into the zombie corpse they belong too... It's gonna take some time to get used to this... xD

I've been in 3 big motorcycle crashes so far irl and if those helmets came off easy I'd be dead.
But i can see a couple+ zeds pulling someone down to the ground much easier because of some types of protective helmets.

3 crashes on a motorbike. Damn man. Maybe time to hang up the gloves? ;)

Yeah those helmets are tight fitting and once that chin strap is on, they aren't coming off.

I have always thought that some helmets should decrease visibility a little. Because they can restrict view to some degree. The welders mask should be very hard to see through in my opinion. Also, really shouldn't be that protective, they tend to only cover the face where as the back of the head and neck is usually open, aren't they 100% protective at the moment? That don't seem right.

I've been very busy knocking off hats and helmets of zombie heads today and I can pretty much guarantee you that everything that is worn on the head can currently be knocked off.

Lol , practicing for you baseball little league tournament? :) .

Yeah , i feel like a lot of helmet should only protect the part that they are suposed to protect, also vision restriction should definitely be a thing , so you would have to decide between fashion or protection.

Fashion means you can see better

Nope, it's really bad. The hard hat, on the other hand, does have 100% protection, which is BS.

Ah. That will be it, the hard hat. I knew there was something that didn't add up.

The welders mask should be difficult to see through though. In fact it should be completely impractical because of its polarised visor. Shouldn't really see anything lol.

Heh, if a zombie knocks your motorcycle helmet off, I think you have more severe issues involving your head and neck disposition at that point.

Health panel should have a flashing red "missing" indicator for that part of the body :D
