Full Helmet Coverage

Helmets and face shields will protect the full head.

This simple mod edits helmets and face shields to cover all hitboxes in the entire head: Face, Head top, Nape, Ears, Eyes, Jaws, Throat, and Back neck.

Showcase

Overview

Enjoy the thrill of being able to peek your head out of cover without worrying about being one-shot in the face by a small caliber. Helmets now work with the rest of your gear as a vital piece of armor. The armor class difference between a SSh-68 (level 3) and a ULACH (level 4) will impact your raids.

These changes apply to ALL helmets and face shields. Heavily armored enemy PMCs are major threats depending on your ammo - don't expect a Makarov to take down a NeoSteel helmet in any reasonable amount of bullets.

While PMCs will be harder to cleanly headshot, scavs remain the same level of threat due to their lack of helmets.

Install

Extract directly into the SPT folder. Mod folder can be located in user/mods/.

Other Mods

I recommend using my other mods, Get Concussed and Clean Face Shields, to receive concussions/tinnitus when your helmet takes headshots and also clean up that visor.

Configuration

Edit config.json in the mod's config folder:

Code

"ModifyHelmets": true,
"ModifyFaceShields": true

Set a desired value to false if you do not want helmets/face shields to be affected by this mod.

Specifics

Display Spoiler

The armorColliders, Durability, MaxDurability, and armorClass are updated for all helmets. For example, the modified SSh-68 steel helmet (which has default 54 durability) is shown below:

• Plate - Head top - 1/1
• Plate - Nape - 1/1
• Plate - Ears - 1/1
• NEW PROTECTION: Face, Head top, Nape, Ears, Eyes, Jaws, Throat, Back neck - 51/51

In practice, the 51 durability is used for all head hitboxes and receives durability damage when shot at. You can safely ignore if any of the 1/1 plates are lowered to 0/1 since the 51/51 helmet durability acts as the 'top layer' and will be used to block bullets.

Face shields have also been buffed with +2 armor class, to keep them relevant with helmets.

Full Helmet Coverage 1.0.2

Changed how durability works to make it more readable: all helmet plates are now set to 1 max durability, meaning that the helmet's total durability numbers will almost 100% accurately reflect how much full-head durability is left in the helmet.
(i.e. If a helmet has 100 durability and 3 plates, 97 out of the 100 durability will cover the entire head).

In line with moving back to vanilla durability numbers, face shields' durabilities have been moved back to default numbers.

The changes will not…
