Re: My take on the helmets and armor in the game.

No it would not, it would actually even lower it a bit if you manage to hit headshots.

I am not a native English speaker so maybe I did not explain it well enough, basically you would still have 100 max health and 100 max shield capacity, but the shield would be divided in 8 bars instead of 4.

Oh I see.

Well if you did that and there was no headshot damage reduction you would get 1 shot by snipers more
