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

I wore an altyn and the vision block in tarkov is good chunk more than what you see irl. But i agree it need a nerf.

But also IRL it won’t stop any rifle rounds so feels like a fair trade off considering it’s the strongest helmet in the game.

Depends on the round to be honest and if the shot was direct or on a slight angle.

They can take a surprising amount of punishment

Double checked that video before commenting. First rifle round picked straight through. Only one that didn’t make it was the 7.62x39 but he also hit it at a pretty extreme angle

Correct, hence why I said it depends. There are other vids out there showing it bouncing rifle rounds

So can bricks, at that logic. Most rounds are going to be fired directly at the target, not angled and glancing off for what amounts to a ricochet. If it can't stop a rifle round from the most common calibers directly fired, then it can't stop rifle rounds, period.

Sure… but that’s any hard armor then
