Level 4 Helmet is the top helmet tier. It protects the head and neck and cuts damage there by 60%. It also strongly muffles the sounds around the wearer. It costs 4,500 cash in Season 2 and needs no unlock.

Overview

The Item Shop describes the Level 4 Helmet as “Very High Damage Reduction”, with “High Suppression Reduction” and a strong muffling of nearby sound. The item data lists the head and neck.

It goes in the Helmet slot and weighs 4.5. For all the vests and helmets, see Body Armor.

Protection

Level 4 Helmet reduces damage to the head and neck by 60%. It does nothing for the body. The item data gives it 200 durability, the highest of the helmets.

With M4 full-metal-jacket rounds:

  • Head: 65.8 HP with no helmet, 26.3 HP with Level 4 Helmet.
  • Neck: 49.4 HP with no helmet, 19.7 HP with Level 4 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
