Ultra7 5 Posted February 14, 2014 Do they actual prevent/absorb/deflect damage -or are they purely cosmetic? Aslo, if they do: how does the chopper pilots helmet fare compared to the infantry 'lid' -thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leviski 2152 Posted February 14, 2014 As far as I know the only helmet that works is the motor bike helmet I saw someone take a bullet to the head and get up and run away once with one on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimey Rick 3417 Posted February 14, 2014 They absorb at least one bullet. I posted in another thread some tests conducted by me and my son. I am too lazy to find the thread now, however. Feel free to sift through the general garbage that constitute my posts. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grimey Rick 3417 Posted February 14, 2014 How long was the guy with the motorhelmet unconcious, Rick & Son Co. KG Ltd. ? We only tested the ballistic helmet out. One M4A1 bullet to the head, his screen goes grey, he doesn't lose blood or healthy status, his helmet goes from pristine to ruined. I will take a look at the motorcycle helmet tonight. I'm pretty sure they only protect against blunt attacks, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feel free to sift through the general garbage that constitute my posts. -Thanks, I tried looking but could only browse your last 5 posts/threads... unless Im missing something? What I really want to know is if theres much difference between the Motorcycle lid and the ballistic one? I know its shallow, but the motorcycle helmet looks pretty cool with the gasmask poking out through the front of it Edited February 15, 2014 by Ultra7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zaphodity (DayZ) 41 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Yes. They collect your brains when they get shot out of your head. Brain buckets. Edited February 17, 2014 by zaphodity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omgwtfbbq (DayZ) 1069 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) I was wearing a ballistic helmet when I was shot in the head by some prick with a mosin. I didn't knock out, and I ran away, but my helmet was ruined. It only lasts one bullet. Edited February 17, 2014 by omgwtfbbq Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure they only protect against blunt attacks, though. Dont bother, I've done this already. Moto Helmet will stop/reflect a single handgun bullet, but not Rifle bullets.That said. The helmet saving your life is HIGHLY dependant on the condition of the helmet (also tested extensively)ANY helmet that is not pristine = death.The ballistic at worn status will knock you out semi-permanently. After 30 minutes the testdummy still couldnt wake up. But wasn't dead.I would imagine some medical assistance wouldve had him up and about again, but will probably eventually bleed out with 0 assistance. One thing that must be noted.Moto helmets are the only ones that will protect you from melee headshot knockouts, most notably fists. Going to hunt/help bambis? Wear moto helmet!

Strass_Bass 0 Posted February 17, 2014 The Ballistic Helmet has saved my life on one occasion. I was rollin' in Berezino with my friends when we started taking some fire around the industrial area. We all moved inside into cover, but not before my friend got clipped in the leg. He's got low blood, so we hunker down on the first floor and patch him up. Meanwhile, myself and another guy move up a few floors to the top. We're taking fire the whole way. Suddenly, my guy grunts and I sort of jerk to the side, and I get dropped to the ground. I'm laying unconscious, but my friend still has the option to administer medical supplies. He can't, because at this point there are multiple unconnected shooters all firing on each other around the Berezino Industrial. He proceeds to take out one, and I revive on my own, Shirts and pants Badly Damaged, and my helmet ruined. So, I attribute my helmet to my life, and That is why while my friends run around in berets and sunglasses to look badass, I always wear a helmet when I can get one.

Nicko2580 398 Posted February 17, 2014 What happens if you get shot in the face or the base of the neck? Does the helmet still protect you, or does the hitbox extend over your whole head? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samuri_Bake_Pie 96 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Fill your inventory with ballistic helmets, you can take lots of bullets. I placed two on my guy in my inventory and wore one, had my buddy headshot me, I survived 4 shots. Edited February 17, 2014 by Samuri_Bake_Pie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds about right, good for zombies, i got hit by a few and didn't bleed. later i noticed my helmet no longer the shiny pristine thing it once was, it was ruined.

Rivals.Joho 0 Posted February 17, 2014 Pristine ballistic or motorbike helmet will save your life when you get head shot. You go unconscious for a sec and then you wake up. Im not sure about pilot helmet but I think it will work the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
