Make helmets have an actual use other than just merely RP (Mainly because rebels should wear them but since it has no real benefit, they just prefer not to)
It'd make sense to give them some sort of armor (maybe 25, maybe less) Or give them any other function, like allow the chance for a shot to bounce off (make it low tho, like 5-10% and maybe make it depend on your agility or speed)

Or just anything else really, just give helmets a use.

(I've made a suggestion like this before but it got rejected due to how hard it was to make: https://willard.network/forums/threads/barnacle-mechanics.6856/

Right now, the only reason to wear a helmet(RP) or waste the resources and the hours of grinding on crafting it is just not paying off.
 
Fairly sure a suggestion was already approved/denied about this specifically?
 
If rebel helms give armor this will almost certainly extend to OTA and possibly even CP's

Be careful what you wish for :angrycop:

CPs and OTA Don't wear helmets they're fucking stupid and only have gas masks with HUD's

It’s dumb that people just assume the masks CPs and OTA wear is just some plastic shit that can easily be destroyed.

CP's definitely shouldn't and don't seem to be protective, OTA perhaps since they seem to be made out of whatever the rest of their armour is.

No? Cps and OTA have a reason to wear helmets (anonymity and the gas mask feature) rebels don't.

Kevlar, it is just like kevlar. The Helmet has Metal. Thus OTA should be slower in my opinion, but more protected. But they have more stamina due to the augmentation they got. That is how I see it. CPs are quicker, but less protected. Only protection they have is the kevlar. Headshots are fatal and leg shots are dangerous.

CP's can be argued to have no protection via helmet but its a coin toss.

OTA absolutely would have armored helms however meaning that if rebels were to receive such a buff, then OTA would as well. Only the most heavy doses of copium would lead you to believe OTA are using bump helmets.
 
This suggestion is exclusively for REBEL HELMETS, since other factions (CP and OTA) already have a reason to wear helmets. Rebels do not, and that's why we see tons of rebels wearing the most protective suits and a fucking hat instead of a helmet, which is pretty ridiculous in some cases.

I never even said that... I am NOT arguing if combine helmets have armor or not, they should not have armor in willard in my opinion, since their helmets have another purpose and are actually used, therefore don't need change, but that's not what's being discussed here.

Helmet don't protect anyone from bullets in the first place. This is not their intention. World War I saw the first steel helmets and it was just there to protect the Soldier from shrapnel from Artillery or Grenades

CP's seem to be enhanced gas masks more than anything, I certainly don't see them being bulletproof in any capacity but I think they'd provide some defence to blunt force attacks.

OTA, yeah, they're basically giant marshmallows wearing a ridiculous amount of kevlar type armour.

But then again, helmets aren't really ever designed to be bulletproof regardless, being re-invented in a modern sense to protect soldiers from clumps of earth thrown up during artillery barrages, and even more, this suggestion is already accepted so...

I guess we're all arguing for the sake of it.

Modern helmets do protect against certain calibers... You can't say they don't. We aren't in WWI, but the 2000nds
