Remove The Helmet & Have The Bodyshield Cover The Whole Body

Helmets kind of fall into that category of something you need and not something you want. I still think that their use is specific enough that they are still needed as a separate piece of equipment.

@Cabowse @ can you please explain how the helmets work to mitigate damage and if/how they get recharged?  Or attach a link to a specific discussion?

@Koochi-Q @mentioned some confusion about how that worked and gave the longbow headshot example where it broke body shields.

So using that example (forget the hop up), if I were to shoot an enemy with level 3 helmet and body shield in the head, how much damage would it take to eliminate them?

Same scenario but with no helmet, just level 3 shields?

How about if the helmet has been "broken", can it be recharged?  Or does the helmet always mitigate headshot damage until the player is eliminated?

Hopefully those questions make sense.

@xIronFist42x  So without a helmet you take 200% crit damage from a headshot. The actual damage figures vary by weapon so no point going into that. As stated there's no regeneration required with them theyre just a flat out damage reduction to the noggin.

Common: 30% reduction.

Rare:40% reduction.

Epic:50% reduction.

Legendary:50% reduction +a cooldown reduction on abilities and ultimates.

Hope this helps.
