Helmets

are a type of Equipment in Surviv.io that can be used to reduce damage taken from headshots damage and attacks, and appear as a circle on your head in the colors blue, light gray, black generally, and they appears different in 50v50 mode depending on your team. The better helmet, the less damage taken and the rarer they are. They may be found on the ground randomly, in Crates (especially Soviet Crates), in Toilets, Bank Deposit Boxes, the Treasure Chest, Containers, and inside Buildings. Helmets reduce headshot damage by their damage reduction value, and also reduce body shot damage by 30% of their headshot defence.

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.

Level 1
The Level 1 Helmet is the first Helmet in game, also the most common and reduces the least damage. It appears blue (or pink in the 50v50) on the player and as a circle. It reduces 25% of headshots and reduced 7.5% of body damage.

Level 2
The Level 2 Helmet is the 2nd Helmet in the game, after the Level 1 Helmet, also the 2nd rarest Helmet in game. It appears light gray (red or blue in 50v50) on the player and appears as a circle. It reduces 40% of headshot damage and 12% of body damage.

This is meant to look like the Stahlhelm, the standard infantry helmet for the Germans in WWII.

Trivia

 * This helmet has 9 variants.

 * Although the Level 3 Helmet has many variants, all 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.
 * When trying to pick up the Marksman Helmet while the Lieutenant Helmet is equipped, drop the Lieutenant Helmet first and then pick up the Marksman Helmet. Otherwise, the message "Better Item equipped" shows up.
 * In Desert mode the marksman helmet has 2 red arrows going across it, in Woods mode these arrows are yellow.

Level 4

The Leader Helmet and the Medic Helmet is the only Level 4 in Surviv.io. They are only available in 50v50 mode and is given to the Faction Leader or Medic only. It does not drop upon death.

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

Leader Helmet also has a Level 3 variant that spawns in Soviet Crates and Initiative Crates under the Desert Map's Aged Faction Statues.

And 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, the same update that added the DP-28.
 * Helmets defend with their full defense against headshots, and 30% of that against normal body shots.
