Rags! 1966 Posted February 24, 2015 The other day, I was about 50m from another player who had stopped behind a wall to log out. I hit him in the helmet with a Mosin round, and the character stood standing, though the helmet clearly became ruined. There was no bleeding or blood effect. All that changed was the the helmet become ruined. Another shot in the head killed him, but I was shocked. I had no idea this was an effect of the helmet. Perhaps it was a bug or glitch, but I would like to get confirmation if anybody else knows about this. If a motorbike helmet will protect you from a Mosin headshot at such a close range...I'll be wearing them whenever I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downydan (DayZ) 41 Posted February 24, 2015 I have taken an M4 round to head while having a Motorcycle helmet on and all it did was ruin the helmet and leave me unconscious for about 30 sec. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conrad_The_Comrade 577 Posted February 24, 2015 I like to think that it does, maybe not all the time, but hey any added protection is a bonus, however I still prefer the Pink Baseball cap, it gives me hope that I'll have two fairies to perform my every bidding one day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBeanMan 22 Posted February 24, 2015 They're a lot rarer then they used to be though. So far I've only found them spawning in the yellow house Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sachad 1016 Posted February 24, 2015 They're a lot rarer then they used to be though. So far I've only found them spawning in the yellow house I find them in the taverns with the little living quarters in the back. The middle and back rooms often have helmets.

Warhoax 63 Posted February 24, 2015 If it does, I think it shouldn't. A real life one wouldn't stop a round.Having them prevent you getting knocked unconcious by a melee weapon is good enough, don't you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is just thin plastic with foam inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twr 43 Posted February 25, 2015 Desync will cause that to happen... iv shot plenty of people in the head with all types of helmets and it was a osk... they're mainly for melee weapons but I think the ballistic helmets stop 1 pistol round Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
