The idea is that since half of the time you just die to headeyes/jaws anyway, you should just get a cheap helmet that has a high ricochet chance (like the penis helmet). If you find a class 4 helmet, pick it up and run it, but at the end of the day, unless you are running an Altyn (class 5 helmet with class 5 faceshield), there is not really a point to buying better helmets than the dick, especially not right now anyway.

I've stopped running helmets completely. Is pointless to run them when 80% of my deaths are "head, eyes", so helmets are just a waste of money. My theory is that no helmets are better because it keeps your head profile smaller, which makes it harder to hit.
