Fallout 4 Prefer To Wear Helmet?

[pjedilord]

Do people like there SS to wear helmet?i like wearing special synth helmet,as
looks cool makes SS seem more special and important and like hiding hes face
from people,sort of mystery. Feel more respected.

Is there other items don't wear for reasons being? I don't get how hes
face is hidden from helmet, but if SS makes crime how can they know its SS?
Should be able to change helmet and they know its not SS.

When I use helmet(only ballistic weaves and they are sadly only 3)then I miss the haircut view.

I think you've missed out on one, as there are four ballistic weave hats in the vanilla game; battered fedora, green rag hat, newsboy cap, and trilby hat. I tend to use the battered fedora.

I know, but like manly man-green rag hat is only for woman or settlers

I have a range of characters, both male and female, but I avoid the green rag hat on all of them because even though it's a valid fourth choice, I just don't like the look of it.

Bethesda just hates well-dressed character, but thanks, Maxonś battlecoat you can upgrading with ballistic weave

But then I have to choose a nicer visual aesthetic over wearing more armour on top of one of the six outfits that allow me to wear all pieces.

Absolutely I wear a helmet. It gives you more protection. My companions almost all get helmets and chest pieces too.

So it def does improve there armour rating? not for show?

Helmets can have good stats to. How much of saver is it to use helmets being
shot there? So helmets in other Fallout games was for look?

The late game benefit of armoured helmets is insignificant. The permanence of an extra stat point or two is more worthwhile in the long term. With ballistic weave the armour doesn't mean anything anymore. Better to look presentable than to deflect a few extra bullets.

I character usually wears the black cowboy hat from Nuka-World , then beef it up with ballistic weave . Kind of looks the Akubra hat I wear when I'm outdoors .

[Avionics]

I always want to deflect more bullets. You can never deflect too many bullets. Plus I don't always want to wear power armor. Because you have to repair it. Which is a big pain. So a helmet plus a good chest piece is a great addition.

Our current Synth helm gives the same bonus as the Marine Helm but less protection. We don't need protection. You have to actually get hit to need it. So, it comes down to the look.

That Marine Helm rocks with the Minutemen General outfit. With my current gear, it's kind of oversize to be worn with tier 1 leather armor. Even after dishing out a small fortune to get it, we're currently on a mission to loot a Hunter's Outfit and Hood at FH.

That's going to change the difficulty, if I run around in just that.
No more +6 Agility ...
....Chameleon effect
....+10% movement speed
... muffled movement
...Shadowed armor
...Stabilized x2 ( Noooooo! )
...+50% Chem duration

Fun times ahead!

IF I like it. If not..... Then it's Marine Helm and MM Gen suit.

EDIT:
...maybe.

That's what I wear like 97% of the game. Minutemen General uniform. Pretty good armor. Plus a military helmet. It offers some of the best overall protection outside of Power Armor. Which I hate to repair. Getting in and out of it too. Going through Fusion Cores. Just everything is a pain. Sometimes it helps you. Mostly I go without it and prefer to be without it.

i generally like hats combined with glasses, for the extra stats plus i dig the look so its a win win

edit: like this for example.

Vault Jumper
Patrolman Glasses
Military Cap
Medium Combat Leg Armor
Medium Combat Arm Armor
Heavy Combat Chest Armor
all painted in blue with 111 as Faction decal (yes i use a mod just for that)

why? because Piper kept telling me blue despite being in full military painted armor... also its a nice color.

its always funny to see conversation like the first meeting with danse were he asks were you are from and it should be so obvious... i mean... vault suit with a 111, blue armor with a 111... that Number and color must have a meaning, eh?

[globefish23]

Yeah, I'm always wearing helmets.

I started out with the army helmet from the APC west of Sanctuary.
Then upgraded to a combat helmet some time later, when I encountered the first Gunner.
After Covenant, I have only been using the Destroyer's Helmet.

Also, I'm using a mod that still shows my character's hair sticking out from under the helmet.
The default completely removes any hair, making her look like a bald head.

Also, I'm using another mod to utilize the headlamp on the helmets, instead of the Pip-Boy light.

Is it worth upgrading helmets? Marine armour is better.
What helmets gives best defence from Lazer plasmas and top damage bullets?


Courser uniform
Damage Resistance 30 Energy Resistance 15 Rad Resistance 15

Minutemen General uniform
Damage Resistance 45 Energy Resistance of 80

The best is

Layered Ballistic Weave Armor 220 physical and 220 energy

Yes put the best damage resistance helmet you have on. Look at the DR stats. Whatever is the best. I don't have ballistic weave yet at my stage of the game but I will get it eventually.
