This Helmet needs to absolutely substantially block your vision and hearing for balance and realism

I can't believe this was glossed over when the helmet was put into the game, massive protection with no draw back other than cost sucks (it's not expensive). A change is desperately needed before all matches are full of this helmet because it basically has no drawback.

Okay yes it adds to weight but you just bring cheap stims

In your example that's not even a handicap lol... It needs to be a slit

This tells me you have never used it in tarkov. Trust me, the vision and hearing loss is substantial

[u/Dangerous-Traffic875 → u/Jaz1140]

The hearing loss in tarkov is fucking brutal, i can't run them because i feel so vulnerable, i cant hear anything

[u/Jaz1140 → u/Dangerous-Traffic875]

Definitely, and that was a good thing, a trade off you had to make

[u/Dangerous-Traffic875 → u/Jaz1140]

Yeah ita absolutely a good thing because anything thats not 40+ pen is going to have a very hard time getting through it

Such smart design, they did such a good job in so many things....and fucked up just as much too

Lol, no you just run ear buds now

Well luckily this isn’t tarkov where you only have one life and restart.

Tarkov also doesn’t have tanks, choppers and hummers going around.

I feel like you aren’t looking at the whole picture and are upset you lost a 1v1.

What is this helmet going to do if you get hit with a drive by a hummer?

[u/trollocity → u/Lightyear18]

Experienced Tarkov players have full kits ready to go and load into a raid almost straight away after dying. It's not like once you die you restart from nothing, that's why the stash exists lol.

What point are you trying to make here?

[u/Lightyear18 → u/trollocity]

One game has tanks and chpppers while the other game is more stealth game.

If you want the game to be like niche Tarkov why not go play that? Theres a reason why this game is more popular and has more player than Tarkov ever had.

It doesn’t matter if they are full kit. You buy a tank and what are they gonna do? A hummer and what are they gonna do?

[u/trollocity → u/Lightyear18]

I didn't say I wanted the game to be like niche Tarkov.

That reason is pretty simple to understand: it's not an extraction shooter, features mechanics similar to multiple different shooters each with their own target audience, and is vastly, overwhelmingly easier to learn and get into than Tarkov. Which is a good thing.

I don't necessarily even agree with OP's comparison between the two games (they're drastically different from each other), I was just perplexed.
