TheWizard14 372 Posted September 20, 2014 I think that I will consider this a lucky loot run through Balota Airfield. Just looting the barracks like normal and the 2nd one I found the visor. Sweet. Then I go into the 3rd barrack and find the helmet too? Woah. Cool! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irishroy 1347 Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Yeah, but to be honest, I prefer the helmet without the visor.With the visor it looks so "broad". Gasmask + MASKA-helmet looks very bandit-like and still awesome, too ;)(I guess we will be able to have a gas-mask with this helmet, because special-forces-helmet, etc. etc.) EDIT: I have heard the MASKA-helmet offers no protection against any bullet. Is that true? Edited September 20, 2014 by irishroy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ceallach 56 Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) I kinda wish we got the full plated version of the visor instead of riot one (see below). But that'll do I guess, maybe in next updates as a different variant? :) Edited September 20, 2014 by Ceallach 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heradon89 21 Posted September 20, 2014 Yeah its the riot/police version in game. I hopefully they will add a military version too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found one w/o a visor and the instant I find another pristine Kevlar helmet I'll toss the Gorka helmet into a ditch.

Is that true?YES! I've heard that it is indeed only effective against melee attacks and that a .22 will punch through the thing and Kill your ass instantly. That's why I am dumping it. And even without the Visor it looks like a refugee from a bad 1950's Sci Fi film...butt ugly. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chompster 171 Posted September 21, 2014 Seeing how you found em in military barracks i wouldn't necessarily call it lucky. first time i found the helmet and visor was also in 1 run at Novodmitrovsk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zee_Panda 29 Posted September 21, 2014 These things are so easy to find, I could have made multiple helmets w/ visors. I personally like Helmet with a green balaclava. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irishroy 1347 Posted September 21, 2014 wait, wait, maybe it is bulletproof?http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2gzj58/the_new_gorka_e_military_helmet_is_awesome/but maybe the story is a lie, noone knows xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kitthegreat 43 Posted September 21, 2014 I can confirm it is not bullet proof whatsoever. Tested with a single 9mm round into the visor (pristine) from a p1 pistol. Killed me dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotcakes 348 Posted September 21, 2014 it's bullet resistant but not enough maska + visor 0.85ballistic helmet 1.5 all helmets currently protect the whole head so there's no functional advantage to using a maska Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
