Gorka E helmet

[harteman 155]

Anyone else notice they slow you down while running?  Or am I that high?

[Matte (DayZ) 7]

It does? I found the protection glass-thingy for the helmet so was looking for one... :/

[leviski 2152]

Too bad the helmet offers no protection from anything, and no you do not run slower.

 

I was just with a group of 4 and I kept up fine.

This. Provides absolutely zero ballistic protection.

[harteman 155]

I'll be testing that out on the first guy I capture.  I have a spare helmet and an AK, gonna see if a headshot is survivable.

Confirmed, Gorka helm with visor attached took a AKM 7.62 round straight between the eyes, only knocked him out.

[Bad Company 140]

It simply varies. I've survived a shot to the head from a Mosin with one, but as you can see in the video below; a 5.56 killed this guy instantly.

[hotcakes 348]

it does provide protection but not enough

maska + visor 0.85

ballistic helmet 1.5

both protect full face

[Combine (DayZ) 247]

I guess I can ditch this visor then or give it so someone else.

[johnny0964 (DayZ) 15]

Either way, it's still damn intimidating. 

[belphegor_goatzombie 100]

Since it is kinda big, does it increase head "hit box"?

I don't think so (but I'm not 100% sure though)

[Sirwarriant12 94]

I haven't noticed a speed decrease while wearing them but i think it's really dumb that the ballistic helmet provides more protection and face protection to boot. Theres no visor option for the ballistic helmet so why on earth would it protect you more from a face shot. I really hope they add the metal combat visor down the road so that the gorka E helmet plus the metal combat mask offers the most protection but possibly a loss in some vision since it covers so much of your face and leaves a slit to look through.

All headgear protects the whole head - maybe this will change, maybe not.

Normally layers of clothing cover tits but here its the opposite. :lol:

 

I did not notice any difference but I only ever played alone so maybe its not that significant.

[JokersWarPig 16]

Well I didn't see that coming in that video.

I don't really care about it's ballistic protection, I wear the helmet/face plate for cool points and nothing else.

I'd wager they will change that. Maska seems a lot more badass.

[Sirwarriant12 94]

I don't necessarily think ballistic protection should really be added to the riot visor and if it does only protect against small rounds like .22 or maybe 9mm, but if they added

<<<this version it should have quite a bit

You not understand. It protect from inferior bourgeois capitalist amerkianer pigdog weapon. STR0NK helmet of MASKA design is superior to inferior design of MICH, in category of appearance, STR0NKNESS, and spirit of Lenin.

For the record if you look inside the MICH at the data label most are made in France.
