[@Vherstinae]

The slave scarf is coded as a helmet to avoid randomly generated slave NPCs wearing glasses or other headgear with it.

[@ReapeeRon]

I guess that makes sense.

[@nathanwhite64]

I can wear glasses with the slave scarf.

[@vaultboy5492]

@@nathanwhite64ur just coded diffrent

[@diswazzi1683]

Why would they not want NPCs to be able to do something that makes sense to do

[@Vherstinae]

@@diswazzi1683 ...They're slaves. Even if the Legion utilized soldiers with severe astigmatism, would they give glasses to their chattel slaves? The point is so that you don't get the narrative incongruity of the slaves wearing what could be considered a luxury item in the wastes.

[@seangallagher9435]

Just a guess, but I think the reason why the riot gear helmet counts as glasses and not a hat is that they wanted player characters with the four eyes perk to get the +1 perception with the riot gear, it’s a pretty techy looking helmet, the visor probably helps with vision somehow

[@ReapeeRon]

That could be.

[@genialdragon4843]

But it still doesn't give you more perception if you have the trait. So taking the trait and wearing this helmet you'd still just have one less perception than without. I think it was supposed to be assigned to the eye and hat slots but they forgot to assign it to the hat slot.

[@TheQuantumCummer]

ReapeeRon reminds me of that guy at GameStop who you trust with your entire heart.

space helmet trick: you can wear it with the atomic-valence tri-radii-oscillator for 8 DT total, +1 END, and Health Regen for 1 weight

[@rafcobra]

That's a nice trick!

[@kevinperron7325]

You forgot to say the really good effect of the space suit helmet, its bugged to have infinite health.

[@Joshua-fi4ji]

See I never knew that because I never used it, because it looks ridiculous.

[@viciousthehedgehog9585]

@@Joshua-fi4ji Trust me, you really need it to explore irradiated areas, like Camp Searchlight and Vault 34.

[@Joshua-fi4ji]

@@viciousthehedgehog9585 I normally wait untill I have power armour before going to either of those places or temporarily make do with a rad suit. Tbh there aren't many highly irradiated areas which most people would want to go at a low level. Unless of course you're running mods which change how radiation works or something. Fallout 4 didn't do much right, but it did make radiation actually something to worry about.

[@ReapeeRon]

I actually wasn't aware of that, that is awesome!

[@JNReditz]

The space helmet is S tier imo, since you can combine it with the elite riot gear helmet which gives you the highest dt possible for a helmet

[@gathenhielm9977]

Been binging through your ranking videos for the last few days and even when I don't necessarily agree I still appreciate the input. You make some damn fine videos. Keep shining, man.

[@ReapeeRon]

Thank you very much! That is awesome to hear!

[@gathenhielm9977]

@@ReapeeRon You put Joshua Graham's armor in S-tier. That alone would have earned you a sub.

[@yihadistxdl951]

elite riot helmet with 1st recon beret is just unmatched as headgear and will always be. tho it is because of a bug but whatever

[@ReapeeRon]

Very true.

[@MJ-mk8jg]

Many thanks for still making fnv content, it's very much appreciated by this 60 year old gamer from the UK.

[@ReapeeRon]

My pleasure!

[@eugeneeremin6657]

Suppose, legat's stuff is all underpowered just because legat himself has top stats. So it's no use for him, cool look is enough

[@ReapeeRon]

That could be, he is pretty tough as it is.

[@stfenoki6621]

Fun fact: You can use the Space Suit Helmet with the Elite Riot Gear for 10 DT

[@ReapeeRon]

Yeah you can get a lot out of the Elite Riot Gear.

[@djani021]

I don't play it anymore but I watch all your fallout tier lists,love the work bro

[@ReapeeRon]

I appreciate that!

[@K.H0P]

I’ve been keeping the hazmat cowl on every playthrough now. It’s just a nice quality of life to not have to use cateye or ghost sight. Also being able to run or walk with night vision is nice compared to having to sneak and use sneak sight on the riot helmets.

[@_Slimjd_]

Killing it with all the tier lists lately

[@ReapeeRon]

Thank you very much Slim!

[@ScheTtino-i3k]

I'll start working next thursday and I'm enjoying your tier lists. I feel them as a farewell to my youth. I'm living a new phase of my life. I'm both excited and sad, prolly also due to the fact that a significant person of my life will soon move away from our town and I have not found time and courage to tell her I'm madly in love with her. In this melancholic period, my old and trusty NV is with me. And nothing is more both exciting and melancholic than Fallout. I'll travel down the Lonesome Road, and I know that in the end both success and her love await me. It's just time to buckle up the "power armor" and to unholster the Big Iron on my hip.

[@ReapeeRon]

Thanks User, that is a tough situation. You could start off by telling her that you have been having feelings for her, and if it would be okay to express them. See what comes of it.

[@nolanevans7603]

Me who hasn't played or opened NV in years - "yes I should watch a tier list on helmets in a decade old game"

[@kanzakiwildan2356]

this channel tier list is something else, i can watch it all day and enjoy it!

[@ReapeeRon]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@kevino2435]

Hoping you do a quests and locations one. Great vid as always

[@ReapeeRon]

I might do that in the future, thanks!

[@EA_SP0RTCENTER]

You can also wear the lucky shades with the blastmaster helmet. Personally for me that would boost it up a tier.

[@FitzgeraldStanburyWeissV]

I normally just end up with the Elite Riot helmet tbh, it's the best looking and still one of the strongest for DT, plus it's bonus effects.

[@ReapeeRon]

I do too, that one is awesome in look and for armor rating.

[@FitzgeraldStanburyWeissV]

@@ReapeeRon Yeah, for sure. I normally use the Combat Helmet reinforced until I get it - pretty solod early game option.

[@nathanwhite64]

Another benefit of Motor Runner's Helmet is that, since it's a quest item, you can bring it to Sierra Madre (along with Fist of Rawr and the Van Graff Combat Armor). That extra perception and especially melee is hella useful even if the helmet itself is weak.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

Combat Helmet, Reinforced and Mark II are my go-to helmets, i literally dont do Lonesome Road until i'm about ready to go to Hoover Dam and end my run, so the Elite Riot Gear has never appealed to me much, just because i dont have enough time to enjoy it.

[@rodgersmith6593]

Definitely using Salt On Wounds headdress to have a similar effect to Luck Recon combo without being completely busted.

[@sussurus]

15:38 you can wear glasses with Salt-Upon-Wounds' helmet (at least I can, correct me if that's wrong). In my opinion, it's a better choice for a crit-based unarmed or melee build than charging in wearing a beret.

[@Zombiecookie45]

ReapeeRon forgot to mention that Motor Runner's Helmet is a quest item!

[@ReapeeRon]

I think I mentioned that for a second.

[@grantcarlson7523]

You forgot to put no helmet in S-tier for the style points

[@ReapeeRon]

Yeah, but then a lot of them would be boosted.

[@irontarkus6955]

Combat helmet mk II has a special "effect" in which you can equipped the rebreather while wearing the helmet making you look pretty slick and providing huge benefits. So with rebreather its S tier cause rebreather provides some DT but without rebreather attached id put it in A. due to the total DT being 8 with the helmet and rebreather.

[@spiraljumper74]

Yeah my Grunt build is always wearing that combo, looks very cool. I really wish Ulysses’ mask was equippable with helmets.

[@mazz9487]

What I find hilarious is that you can give Boone some Legion stuff to haul around for you, and he will wear the Legion Centurion helmet.

[@User_Un_Friendly]

Why hasn't anybody pointed out how the Riot Gear Helmets look like the headgear from that vastly underrated, yet masterpiece of anime called Jin Roh? I love that anime. 😮🙂😍 Also, a heavy helmet won't invalidate the Light Armor perks...🥳🥳🥳

[@ReapeeRon]

Well that is what it is based off of. To bad we don't have a MG42 to go along with this.

[@striker8961]

Gotta give the sierra madre helmet an extra thumbs up for being good even outside it’s dlc where it will probably save your life.

[@hugoCastellnaos]

you can wear both the Elite riot gear helmet and the space helmet at the same time giving you a total of 10 DT, but you will look kind of dorky.

[@ReapeeRon]

Yeah the Elite Riot Helmet is pretty strange with the interactions it can have.

[@Horhay-xg1kp]

Anything with vision altering effects is awful due to making it impossible to see absolutely anything it’s horrible for a sniper build and especially with the rat slayer one of the better silenced weapons

[@EA_SP0RTCENTER]

The metal helmets are pretty rare for some reason.

I like motor runners helmet because you can bring it into dead money

[@ReapeeRon]

That is true, that is something pretty nice about that helmet.

[@slyllamademon2652]

Fiend helmets are the most valuable helmets in the game because you can jury rig any light helmet. Also you can use metal armor to jury rig Riot Armor Helmets.

[@Biomancy]

What about the Atomic-valence tri-radii-oscillator and the Valence radii-accentuator from old world blues?

[@PrinceSheogorath]

Fun fact: red scare on the elite helmet gives you a -5 to hit chance

[@ArinRavenwood]

the marked beast eyes helmet from lonesome road so it lets you equip 1st recon and you can ADDITIONALLY wear GLASSES with it, lucky shades being my go to choice. just so ya know, MB eyes for me is bottom of S tier for that

[@4bozak]

Forget 2 valence thingy from Old world blues

[@duplicarus]

You can get a ton of centurion helmets from legion hit squads

[@owenblount7334]

Most people dump charisma in NV anyways so for the metric assload of charisma 1 characters the Tesla helmet doesn’t have a downside

[@bananaboyTS]

would be nice to have the stats on screen for the current item, might be alot of effort idk, but maybe worth it for the last tier lists 😥

[@bananaboyTS]

like in the corner for a longer amount

[@kanrakucheese]

You put the best NCR helmet (the one that you can wear glasses/goggles with) at the bottom of the three.

[@insanegolem]

Most of my disagreements would be from helmets that allow other gear like a rebreather or glasses, and helmets that don't. Space suit helmet is broken, and can equip several extra pieces with it, helmets that don't cover the face can combine with glasses or rebreathers. Metal helmets count as face covering, so they lose points compared to combat helmets. And any of the riot helmets can use the valence radii pieces, since those count as hats the same as berets.

[@jakedunbar7553]

I love the siera madre helmets but I feel like I look like cobra commander from GI joe

[@hainhatphung1371]

Dang, too bad the cut NCR Scorched Power Armor Helmet from Lonesome Road could have been here at A tier. Your list is very comprehensive, still! And too bad I prefer mods, so these vanilla assets are mostly for my cosplays than otherwise.

[@DOCTORRGLASS]

Quick question do the helmet teirs affect travel light like would a medium helmet nagate travel light

[@ReapeeRon]

They don't count toward it only the armor that you are wearing.

[@DOCTORRGLASS]

@@ReapeeRon so it's dt only a heavy helmet wouldn't change travel light but medium armour would?

The Riot Gear Tecnically is from the United States Special Ops (I believe it was that) So that means is not alligned with any faction, is alligned with the United States itself So that means this suits better a god courier than the duster, change my mind

[@kanrakucheese]

F3's progression is far more linear, full of strictly better items. Fallout 2 is really the only one that works for a tier list (outside of perks, which would work in 1/2/Tactics), where you've got things like Hunting Rifle vs. FAL where which is better is actually a tossup (FAL has burst and better magazine, hunting rifle has ammo that's far more common early on without farming random encounters).
