Headlight!
Who had this brilliant idea to have the Headlamp replace the Rebreather in the helmet spot?? Genius! Who in their right mind would throw away the oxigen optimization for a headlight? :steamfacepalm:

They should move the headlight in the suit mods slot, that would make much more sense to me.

You're right, but the headlight place only 1 slot in your inventory so you can replace it when need. Anyway if you have ultra oxygen maybe you will not care about the rebreather.

Or they could add more mod slots to the suit (maybe even create a new multi-mod suit) and then we could have more mods of the sort... :lunar2019coolpig:

It also uses an ion cube! Then it doesn't work well anyway.

It needs an Ion battery and the big shipwreck has one... ;-P

Which works better in the seaglide.
The Headlamp is EXACTLY why the Devs created the Recycolotron. I like to think of it as their way of saying "sorry for such a short sighted and wasteful item!!! Here's a way to get your ion battery back!!!" Thank you!!!!

The headlamp is really only useful on the land sections. When I go to the Arctic Spires without a vehicle, I'll sometimes equip it.

However, I agree, with the loss of the Rebreather and the cost, it's kind of useless. Would have been far more useful if it had a dedicated slot. Maybe it could be swapped out with the scanner room HUD chip or something similar.

Headlamp is actually useless for many reasons

The flashlight reaches further than the headlamp

You replace a slot for something more useful like the rebreather

Running with tools exists, hold a flashlight and run, therefore making it useless

The ion battery for the recipe is way too pricey even as the game having a small finite amount of ion crystals, you might as well use the battery for the flashlight and save the space for that trashy headlamp
