korpisoturi (DayZ) 127 Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) In latest patch notes had the following:Actions: Ballistic helmet variants can be painted to black and green color with spraycan Just tried and can't get it to work, am I doing something very wrong here or is it bugged? Your experiences? EDIT: Possibility that "old" pre-patch ballistic helmets cannot be painted Edited March 20, 2014 by korpisoturi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your experiences? EDIT: Possibility that "old" pre-patch ballistic helmets cannot be paintedIt works but the problem is WHAT IF I WANT TO PAINT MY HELMET BLUE?!!!! They need to add more than just the black and green to the color scheme for painting weapons and stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RagedDrew 209 Posted March 20, 2014 As others have said, pre-patch helmets can't be painted, I had one in my bag for weeks waiting on the patch, tried painting it yesterday, didn't work, dropped the helmet, found a new one and painted it with no problems.

Grimey Rick 3417 Posted March 20, 2014 No you cant fix ballistic helms with sewing kits yet same with press vest. Found one and its in badly damaged but i cant use it on ether of them yet. Why would you be able to fix a ballistic helmet with a sewing kit...? The same goes for any vests with kevlar. You can't fix kevlar with a needle and thread... I don't follow your logic.

I tried it because he said it should work and i wanted to verify that it didnt so i tried it. However hopefully something will be put in that can fix all weapons and gear properly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
