secret service helmet...

[Ikit Claw]

Bought the SS Helmet instead of the jetpack because I thought it would give me armor.
I was wrong, it's completely useless.
This thing is not even close to being worth the amount it's asking for, don't get scammed like I did.
RIP all my gold.

Ya, SS helmet is only worthwhile if you are wanting a complete set.

Sorry for your loss.

Yeah I didn't know, I thought since the ss armor is the best in the game that the helmet would also be good.
Especially for that much gold!!! I feel a lot of the stuff that cost gold is way overpriced.

Only power armor helmets have damage resistances, rest are just decorations. Sorry for your loss, fortunately it won't take that long to get it back. :)

It took me a week to get that gold, I know there's the gold bullion tickets, and the guy at wayward.
Is there anything else I'm missing?

120/day (12 notes) from quests
300/week from Smiley
Events can give you additional treasury notes.

Well, not really. You can farm public (and seasonal) events and do Wastelanders daily quests (Ward/Wren/Rocksy/Davenport) for treasury notes but you can't exchange more than 40 per day unless there's double gold weekend running. So it will take a bit over 4 days to get that gold back.

The only situations where helmets/masks are 'worthwhile' is with scout armour and using funky duds/sizzling style.

Reason is the mask has the scout keyword and those legendary perks only look for 5 instances of those keywords. This can allow you to run scout arms and legs and any chest you want while still valid for the legendary perks.

Other than that the Mole mascot head has a whopping 1 DR!

And it was all just a Google away for saving your Gold.

You can get some gold from the scoreboard.

Heeeeey, not useless!
its one of the few helmets that has a flashlight ... that works (combat helmet and marine helmet flashlights are forever turned off)
And works pretty damn well , gives a "stormtrooper" vibes too

And check/google it Minerva sales ... . She will have the complete set in about 3 weeks from now ... .

Most helmets are useless in the game. Some do offer protection against bad air quality. The Secret Service are helmet does. As for armor. Nope they do not give any. Even power armor helmets do not.

I could've sworn power armor helmets did. Maybe I was thinking of something else the entire time.

Power armor helmets do have DR.

Power armor helmets do have DR.

Some head wear had legendary effects (one in specific) and all PA helmets protect from air/water borne pathogens. Also in every OTHER fallout game, yes, the helmet offered protection (100-60-150 for DR, ER, and RR are the defensive stats of a basic T-45 helmet in FO4 for instance. In 76 that's 34-34-34? Unless they patched it out too). Yes, everyone thinks armor should be applied to armor. Like duh. However we'd be dealing with everyone wearing the same few head wear pieces that have the best stats instead of it 1 being a part of individualization of our characters and 2 a feature to exploit by marketing and sell us a butt ton of hat skins that do nothing and we can only wear one of at a time (AND we usually can't give them away).

"Prior to patch 1.3.1.26, the mask was awarded to the player character with one random primary legendary armor effect. Masks obtained before the patch are turned into non-legendary items."

One of many things that was annoyingly altered for the worse, but it could also be genius.
Helmets are an easy option for gear/build diversification and further power scaling (silly, but it's 76... Hats Are Power. Either the power of our cash in the atom shop or a better game.)

**coffee time so I don't butcher this further.
