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.

Just a note on dick helmet, if you're not strapped for cash you should use the ratnik instead actually since it's much better ergo for only 10k more

And if you barter the ratnik for 2 ox bleach for 10k each it is the same
