It was still worn by US soldiers in Vietnam, but it originated during the WW2 era.

Cool.. I'm talking about the name of the in-game item only, No idea if Mr Bill above is talking about real life or in-game item. I find it weird when people go off on these weird "history lesson" tangents when the OP is just asking about an in game item and its rarity.

<shrug> Of course i had no idea if you understood that or not, was tossing out a clarification just in case. *Accurate* knowledge of our history is always good, ignorance of it is bad. That's my only motivation.

I don't have one yet so I don't know the in-game name. The spawn name is correct

#SpawnItem WW2_US_Helmet

I'm not nitpicking. Military nomenclature should be accurate imo.

Also, Idk.. the one I got looks like fruitbeards and fairly sure its called vietnam war era. Now I have to double check

This^^

Only difference for the Vietnam war until 1985 was a cloth camouflage cover instead of a net. They also ditched the brown leather strap for OD green and there was no rank anywhere on the helmet when in combat.

Completely understandable. It's really not that big of a deal. I just wanted to set the record straight.

i have plenty of the WWII helmets but the American GI one looks cool af, will have to check more old bunkers i guess

I'll be honest, I didn't know it was in the game. I think the Wehrmacht helmet is pretty cool though too.

it was added in the 0.4 update, in the patch notes it's called a M1 helmet

Ahh, thanks!

I guess the rarity of it should be kept the same, it's finding cool stuff like this that makes it more interesting, hopefully in the future there will be more rare clothing so we don't all look the same

Couldn't agree more. My new mission is finding that helmet. I also still need to find the UMP (I only play about 3 hours a week since release)

With the UMP and Block I can stick to one ammo type and I have magazines and plenty of ammo for both already. Those two and a shottie is all I need for my play style.

best place i found for the ump is bunkers, not found 1 in police stations yet but i did find the new mp5's there
