Helmets

**Helmets** are a type of Equipment in Surviv.io. They can be used to reduce damage taken from headshot damage and attacks in general (although with less effectiveness), and appear as a circle on your head in the colors blue, light gray, and black (in order of increasing rarity and effectiveness). However, they appear different in 50v50 mode depending on your team's color. The higher level the helmet, the less damage you take and the rarer they are. They may be found in almost any crate or building, as well as just floor loot. As shown below, helmets reduce headshot damage by their damage reduction value, and also reduce body shot damage by 30% of their headshot defense.

## Pickup Rules

When picking up helmets, it is decided primarily by level, and then by if it has a role or not. The drop prevention only prevents it from being dropped, and it will disappear if you pick up another helmet that has a higher level or has a role and your current one doesn't.

#### Trivia

* This helmet has 14 variants.
* "Tsukuyomi no Kabuto" is Japanese and translates into "Tsukuyomi's Kabuto". Tsukuyomi is the Shinto Moon God. A Kabuto was a helmet worn by ancient Japanese warriors.
* Although the Level 3 Helmet has many variants, all variants are only available in Events.
* The Shishigami no Kabuto was the first special helmet variant to not display the actual level 3 helmet icon in the HUD.
* In Desert mode the Marksman Helmet had 2 red arrows going across it, in Woods mode these arrows are yellow, and in Potato mode the arrows were orange.
* As of "*One man army*", all Level 3 Marksman Helmet variants have been removed.

Lone Survivr

The Commander Helmet, the Medic Helmet and the Lone Survivr Helmet are the only Level 4 helmets in surviv.io. They are only available in 50v50 mode and are given to the Commander, Medic and Lone Survivr only. It does not drop upon death and cannot be dropped by right-clicking on it. When becoming the Lone Survivr as a Medic or Commander, the helmet will be replaced but not dropped.

Initially the Commander Helmet was a level 9 helmet, but this was changed soon after to level 3, then again to level 4.

Additionally, there is a "Level 4 Helmet" that never spawns and is just a prototype that the other level 4 helmets use and edit.

## Trivia

* In the early stages of the game, the Vests and Helmets used to have 100 health (and take the damage that they blocked the player from taking), but was removed in the v0.1.6 update, the same update that added the DP-28 and the shack.
* Helmets defend with their full defense against headshots, and 30% of that against normal body shots.
* On the Desert, Woods and Potato Maps, specialty Level 3 Helmets with Perks can be picked up to replace normal Level 3 Helmets. In any other scenario, attempting to pick up equipment of the same level to your currently equipped piece will trigger the prompt "Item already equipped!"
	+ While they were available simultaneously on their respective maps, the removed Marksman Helmets could be replaced by the Shishigami no Kabuto, K-pot-ato and Aged Lieutenant Helmets. You also could not switch to the Marksman Helmet without first dropping your currently-equipped helmet with perks.
