Helmets?

[Colonel Tyborc]

What exactly is the point of wearing a fully enclosed titanium helmet that doesen't protect your head and also doesn't have any vision modes or even protect us from poison gas? just curious it does't make any sense to me love the game though.

These helmets were slightly cheaper, and have the words 'Don't Panic' written in large friendly letters on the inside of the eye piece.

They protect from concussions

Because heroes are faceless. Because everyone can be a hero.

To give our citizens the feeling of safety so they can brandish courage in the face of endless atrocities plaguing our galaxy! And to promote the symbols of freedom and democracy everywhere our Helldivers tread

It's to prevent customisation.

Good. The last thing we need is for hosts to take their time starting games because they want me to see their new hair and ship decorations. ♥♥♥♥. All. That.

They don't protect against super caustic acid gas, but they do seem to protect against all sorts of junk that would really suck to inhale like explosive mushroom spores, bot lubricants, whatever that spewing bug gunk is, pretty much the entirety of Hellmire, etc, etc. I'd also wager that taking a bot laser to the face or some high-speed small bit of debris would be fatal without such a splendid example of liberating gear as the helldiver helmet.

I mean... the gas we use as weapons are deadly to bugs AND bots, so it's already implied that the chemicals will melt anything it touches despite the object being inorganic.

Well... we have ac in there... can't really complain.

I feel like helmets would be a good vehicle to introduce more stats in the future.

[Colonel Tyborc]

i just think they should be able to protect you from at least the first head shot just seems odd
