Level 3 Helmet is the third of the four helmet tiers. It protects the head and neck and cuts damage there by 50%. In Season 2 its reduction went down and its price went up. It needs no unlock.

Overview

Level 3 Helmet is the first helmet tier that covers the neck. The Item Shop describes it as “High Damage Reduction”, and it adds that the helmet gives a “Low Suppression Reduction”. The item data lists the head and neck.

It goes in the Helmet slot and weighs 3. For all the vests and helmets, see Body Armor.

Protection

Level 3 Helmet reduces damage to the head and neck by 50%. It does nothing for the body. The item data gives it 180 durability.

With M4 full-metal-jacket rounds:

  • Head: 65.8 HP with no helmet, 32.9 HP with Level 3 Helmet.
  • Neck: 49.4 HP with no helmet, 24.7 HP with Level 3 Helmet.
Helmet Damage reduction Body parts covered Durability
Level 1 Helmet 30% Head 80
Level 2 Helmet 40% Head 100
Level 3 Helmet 50% Head and neck 180
Level 4 Helmet 60% Head and neck 200
Pilot Helmet 30% Head 180
Tank Helmet 55% Head and neck 180

Each hit on a covered body part takes durability from the piece. For an ordinary bullet the game code removes 0.4 times the incoming damage, and the piece breaks when durability reaches 0 (from the game code; the game itself was not run to confirm it). Wear does not weaken protection: all four durability stages give the same reduction, so a worn piece protects as well as a new one until it breaks.

Season 2 changes

Property Season 1 Season 2
Damage reduction 55% 50%

The Season 2 data lists only these two changes for this helmet.
