Helmets - Pointless

[Nuro]

Head gear currently in this game is just cosmetic! Useless!

Not entirely, although I agree that they're kind of not super useful. SKS headshots are 1 hit kills without a helmet, 2 hits with helmets, and the same goes for the revolver. The kar98 also 1 hit kills you unless you have a lvl 3 helmet.

For the rest of weapons, the difference between wearing no helmet and wearing a lvl 3 one is anything from 20 to 50 less damage taken, which can be meaningful if coupled with a lvl 3 vest too.

Not quite true, I have been one shotted with head shot while wearing a lvl3 helm. I believe I was moving too...

Then you were 1shot by another weapon. This data is true, it can be found here:

1 shot with a pistol wearing a level 2 from behind? Find that hardly useful.

kar should get nerfed somehow i cant remember when i didint get headshoted on move by it.

[[DeusVult] Eisengrind]

well... no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ helmet in the world protects you from getting shot in the face, which happens most of the time in a gunfight facing someone that headshots you. git gud

Helmets are useful within this game. You should be happy that it even protects your from 1 or 2 headshots. You should not become a tank by simply just finding a vest and helmet.

Well said!.

Helmets and vests are useless. I just got hit by two bullets from AK from close range and got killed in two shots. Had lvl 3 helmet and lvl 2 police vest. As I said useless. In KotK you got to shoot at least 5+ times to get helmet and vest off then two shots to kill the person, maybe 3. As I said, bunch of crap, this game is indeed broken.

Bullistic masks should add face protection

Depends on the weapon used. AK-47 at 300m or point blank 1 shots you with up to a level 2 helmet on. Theres a "mythbuster damage video" on youtube that explains the damage scaling in the game through all of the weapons and accessories.
