RIP helmet prices.
I'll always say that a game like tarky suffers from guides such as these. Won't shit on the hustle, everyones got their niche, but the mystery does go away. Experience trumps most in tarky
@@donetski7324but i think for a game like eft its worth remembering its not a beginner friendly game at all, there is no info in game for new players, no tutorial.. i mean vids like these for games like cod i think are a lil extreme but i think its justified for eft
Nah what did he say here that the playerbase didn't already know? This is almost the same helmet tier list as 4-5 patches ago.
@@TAEHSAEN many players are pretty dumb or ignorant, if someone tells them "kiver is best helmet" then that will spike in price. Also people forget what is good and not.
I run the tc2001/2 all the way through. Head,ears has been way less this wipe for me.
yeah ppl meta game so freaking hard in this kind of game, not blaming them but the trends and meta is a 1:1 more than any other game. @@donetski7324
The Tor-2 should be B-Tier, you can get a Class 3 Faceshield and with that, it covers your whole head in class 3 and still allows you to use ears, so basically just a better Kiver-M
It’s like 3 and a half kilos lol
A-Tier or S-Tier imo. Only problem is that Tor-2 makes breathing so loud.
I tried it, and bro, the breath sound effect while the face shield is on makes this borderline unusable for me. Cant hear shit. It feels worse than other faceshield breath sounds. Way louder.
You forgot the Bush camo bucket hat
use other ears then it disappears.....@@nopixelstories3559
You actually forgot about cowboy hat. This masterpiece in combo with double barrel and any revolver makes you the scariest sheriff in the town. Definitely S++ tier
ITS HIGH NOON
I'm convinced the Chimera hat, similar to the Boonie, saved me way more times than protective helmets
No ears tho so you can’t even hear em comming 😂
Chimera is gold
@@cyan2982 you can run headsets with chimera, I run it through all of the SBIH last wipe
@@cyan2982you can wear ears with chimera
Chimera s-tier
Something you didn't mention for the trooper is that that it's the only headgear that gives throat protection (except the pumpkin), which is nice to layer up with a level 3 collar vest. A bit niche but its nice for layering that hitbox
Fast MT mandibles protect throat too.
@@DojuOG forgot about the mandibles, better than the trooper for throat and Jaws but you give up eye protection and the layered top protection, could be good if you're on a budget
Another benefit is it you can wear NVG on top of the trooper. I believe it’s the only faceshield that can do this.
@@Namthre Also the new armor steel mandible for the Diamond Age NeoSteel
Trooper mask is also the only face shield you can have when using thermal scope
Its good to see boonies getting the respect it deserves
only thing better is some color options for it so I can get rid of the tan and opt for an OD green or somethin with more muted tones
Chimera Boonie is far superior it has camo netting and is green.
Shhhhh! :D@@Corzappy
shattered masks prime spot is being used to protect against shotgun scavs firing buckshot from 30m+ away
VS anything else its drip or drown only
I agree. Over the past 1500 hours of gameplay I can't remember a single time the Shattered mask has saved me outside of scavs with buckshot. Unfortunate, as it's an awesome looking piece
The Tor def should be at least B tier. its like the kiver but with the ability to wear a headset
Only Class 3 and more expensive than the 6B47, 20k vs 55k
@@sp4tz339 my mistake, i didnt know you could put a face shield on the ratnik.
>~>
@@corvidconfidential8826 you can't put a face shield on the ratnik/6B47.
@@imdumpedsoul I know, I was being sarcastic because he is comparing apples to oranges to disprove my comment. He missed the point completely
The Neosteel is similar to the Tor, so they should be together in one tier... The only difference is the neck protection on the Neo in exchange for the eyes on the Tor. And Eyes is, in my opinion, muuuuch more important than neck, which can be covered by armor as well. The Neo is also more expensive even when only comparing the helmets themselves.
The face mask and scav convo, so true.
My buddy and I would purposely gear as a scav on Interchange and wait for awhile and the scav army never knew we were PMCs. We definitely have gotten a few co-op extracts out of that once they realized/we point out that we are PMCs.
About sniping and booneys:
In RS2: Vietnam, Australians have big green booney hat that covers even arms and hands, when looking from above. There were so many times I walked by an enemy lying in the bushes without noticing, and so many times I was able to hide that way myself.
Level 100 RS2 player here.
The reason why you survived and snuck behind enemy lines in RS2: Vietnam is because the ENEMY also has boonie hats as a cosmetic option, and many veterans are hesitant to shoot boonie wearers since they might end up shooting a friendly.
Boonies were okay-ish as a camouflage option, though.
Need to see you do a Hat tier list now, especially when it concerns concealment. I know you covered a few here but it'd be nice to see what boonie alternatives you'd recommend.
Definitely agreed
Chimera. That’s it.
i love being sneaky and wearing drip that camouflages my position, and i would love if you made a vid about that and what your thought process is when blending in, with some 3rd person perspective, think that could be a solid vid! anyway keep up the good work, enjoy all your vids!
Thank you brother. I can’t wait to see the video on plates that I know you were working on!
as someone new to tarkov thank you! your videos have been so incredibly informative!
Great video. Thanks for all your hard work. I definitely learned some things
I appreciate this content so much. Top tier, thank you for the time you took doing this!
This is a really fun list with plenty of little gems / laughs. Great work homie !
Nice vid marine! Upset you spilled the beans on the brawler though. I run that more than helmets haha. Especially on maps like streets or reserve
nice list. two points:
1. chimera trumps boonie for camouflage.
2. layering is essential. condor eyeglasses + mandalorian mask can save you from point blank svd shots
PS. Bastion crew, I say! As a night player, that NVG mount on the Bastion is essential but lacking on the Ulach. Bastion goes for 60k nowadays. Its a steal.
Mozzi's helmet is my favourite, full Caiman W key energy.
Idont know if it will work with trooper, but i stack concords, death mask and a big faceshield (so far ive only got to try lshz). Add on the aventail cause stacking. Screw audio, i could never use it properly anyways.
Thanks for a video and all the effort put into this .. carry on with good work ... subscribed
Started with Tarkov this whipe and love your videos. Very helpfull!
I just want to say thanks for what you do. You are doing great!
Damn
Very useful guide, I love your content, keep it up!
Awesome video as always
The Trooper is the only faceshield which can be worn while also having NVGs on, making it the best option for night raids. Might not stop whatever PMCs are using but can save you from most scavs atleast
We’ve bounced BP 7.62 off a mando mask. They come in clutch.
thank you so much for everything you do!
I can appreciate how much testing and effort went into making this tier list.
Hats off to Airwing, as far as I know, no one else is making Tarkov content with this much information and knowledge. Good stuff man!
bro what? you gotta delve more into the YT tark world homie, there's so many talented creators out there. expand your horizons.
@@dreamhaunt Who else would you recommend?
@@nawlfrGigabeef, same level of depth as airwing
@@nawlfr shit man i mean there's pestily, klean, fairTX, riloe, the list goes on and on, when it comes to guides n informational things Pestily tends to be my favorite. good quality content and to the point. lots of creators to keep an eye out for man :)
@@nawlfr those were just a few off the top of my head, sorry if that wasn't exactly what you were looking for
I appreciate you putting the boonie in A tier because we all know the Chimera is the real S tier concealment. Good video, I also would love an in depth explanation of armor materials (I saw you said you were working on this already)
Could you do a video on armor plates? There's a ton of different armors with different HP's, materials, and weights, that have the same profile and armor class. Really the only thing that distinguishes them at a glance is the class and weight, but it'd be nice to know how the different materials and HP amounts affect them. And to know which ones I should be using over others.
Great work, crazy effort.
thanks airwing for all that effort u put in these videos
U just earned a new sub! Very informational content I must say :)
The goon mask got cut a little bit but I get what you were probably saying 🤙🏼 keep up the content, my friends and I really enjoy it!
Thanks for what you do for the community brother
Yoooo you got this out fast good stuff bro
Very cool Tier List! very informative! I loved it! :)))
I ran with the tan Ulach on 3 consecutive raids, I made it out once but very beat up. I sold it and I'm not going to pick it up anymore. But thanks for this list, the trooper facemask does have that effect. An express shot to the face shattered my confidence and never bought it again.
Great informative content!
Awesome video as always! Not having time to get deep into Tarkov's many systems, this is a great way to get key information to apply to my raids. I was wondering if you (or anyone else reading this) had the name of the song playing in the background at 19:53 . Cheers!
Me personally the leaf hat from Ragman is absolutely the best thing to put in your head considering I’ve ricocheted some type around off of it, even though it doesn’t have an armor level and I was so cunfused
It has a weird render problem at distance. From far away it ends up looking just like a helmet so it doesn't break up your silhouette all that well like the boonie does.
Found the NeoSteel on my very first GZ raid this wipe. Was a magical experience being the drip king for the next 3 raids.
LOVE THE CONTENT!
Just an FYI, I found the death shadow mask yesterday in a duffel bag on shoreline. Seems those bags can contain just about anything. I have found most of the rare items at least once in a duffel bag. I know a lot of people skip them when looting but they should not be skipped.
Was playing SPT (no mods which modified loot spawns at all) and I ended up finding a LEDX in a duffel bag (or maybe a med box?) at the back door of crackhouse. Since it wasnt the live server, it doesn't really matter, but it does confirm your point.
Was scavving Reserve as well on the live server and got shot by a PMC in white queen. He blacked my leg and ran. I checked the nearest duffel bag directly to the right for painkillers so I could dip and leave. Full bottle of ibuprofen in it. Proceeded to have a completely normal scav raid afterwards.
Pestily says not to wear headphones in game… Sooo idk if I trust the tierlist since it’s heavily based on that
i think face shields, no matter the level, can have a high psychological effect. this is coming from a relativly new player, and i do a lot of scaving because i'm still fighting the 'gear fear', but when i see a guy with a face shield as a scav or pmc i think twice aout messing with that guy. might be the time they need to get the upper hand on me when i was the one with the spotting advantage.
Thanks for all the usefull videos lately, helps a lot understand the new and not so new mechanics! Would it be possible to provide a link to the tier list (as a picture or whatever) in the description or comments so we can refer to it quickly? (same for the armour tier list). Cheers
Excellent video. Great descriptions, information, and funny. Sub. Scribed
tan ulach switcheroo made me laugh, great vid man
Door kicker is one of my favorites, similar to the boonie in the way it conceals you, and you get to feel like Captain Price
One last comment, I always gear up for scav protection, less than PMC protection. Scavs will always find a weakspot in your gear, but PMC's typically have better pen ammo.
i pretty much die to headshots no matter what helmet or armor i am wearing. i don't even waste my time and rubles on them any more.
Another bonus with the tagilla mask is its flash bang protection of 65% really useful when your trying to get your flash bang kills for the quest you can just tank flash bangs
Thanks, newbie here, really needed this
i love your in-depth tier lists and it has helped me a lot, this is my first full wipe and i was wondering if you could do a tier list for headphones. reading a lot of forms and other tutorials and sometimes it feels subjective. I've seen other streamers hype a specific headphone but according to what I've read and watched that headphone would be mid tier
My friend watching you put the shattered mask at E after he watched 3 ap 6.3 bounce off some dude face is gold
The tan ULACH and the UN Helmet are actually pretty decent with snow as long as you're planning to play outside.
In the snow both blue and beige show less than the olive green of most helmets so for the first time they are genuinely worth putting on your head. Just dont got inside, once in the shadows you're a glowing bright target.
Tan ulach is the dumbest thing ever.
The scav bit about the tank helm. Priceless. 😅
Forgot to mention one S-Tier. Don't wear helmets at all because they are borderline useless. Yes, they do save you sometimes, but the money you spent over 20 raids to get that one raid where you wouldve been dead without a helmet doesn't make up for the cost. Spending 50k on helmets every raid does stack up to the loot value of one sucessful raid pretty quickly.
Arty Marine here, make a video on ear pro/ ear muffs for best audio. I know there’s been a bunch of changes and idk which ones are helping me hear players or handicapping me. Love the vids!
SheefGG made a very detailed video on audio/headsets you could check out as well!
The ski mask with holes for eyes is actually a c tier hat with the snow because it blends in remarkably well
FYSA, weird cut at death knights mask. Also, blasphemy on the tan ulach! Love the content man!
The addition of solid and camo helmet coverings would not only be realistic, but also solve tan ulach issue
Also don't forget the Tor-2 also lets you put a faceshield on while wearing a headset. kinda goated early.
The scav hockey masks for sure deserve to be in s teir, i was hoping you out them there.
The one thing the Airsoft replica Fast MT has is it’s a super cheap way to get a light on your head. Granted, for just a bit more you can get a ratnik or something
Great video! Loved to see the boonie as A tier, but you forgot the Chimera boonie hat that should be in S tier, I only use hats, and the chimera is amazing, saved me a lot of times, wish I could use the LLCS with headphones
The one time I ran a vulcan, I got one tapped by a mosin with snb to the head. This was during the mosin era, when snb was widely available, though.
Unironically, the hockey masks are not bad. My friend also wears them and never gets spotted by player scavs. He’ll go full scav though and change his outfit, but an M4 and make it look like at ADR, wear the security vest, and not wear armor. Then he screws with the player scavs
great video man keep it up
Helmets may ricochet on occasion but mostly they do not stop rounds. I've had so many 22 pen pistol rounds kill me to of head with every level 3 ace 4 helmet. I'm only wearing a helmet now for hearing.
TBH - the kolpac riot shield with face mask made my stirrup WAY easier, it blocks all the bullets everyone is using at that point in the wipe; I blocked multiple rounds multiple times (I think 3 max) to the faceshield and ended up killing the other guy with my pistol. got the quest done in 2 factory raids because of it.
My favorite mobility focus head ware is black beret. It’s change my head shape not reflect any light source. For protection black Ullac is my choice. Eye and jaw still unprotected but 70% of my head are protected is enough.
idk about that caiman and tan ulach placement. Caiman costs too much to make lvl 2 worth when u have alternatives, especially with what u have in D i feel like its more in line with those imo. And no ear protection especially when you can get shot in the ears from the front through facer shields. I do love how im 13min in, you are already on b and the brawler is still up there. goated
GDI AIRWING! I've been running around with brawlers and boonies for the past two wipes!
Great video. I think if you can put a beight orange jack-o-lantern in S tier, you can put the tan Ulach there too though
Totally agree with the Brawler mask. you gotta put the Chimera right there with the Boony
Trooper mask i think can be pushed up one tier if you use it with NVGs since you can't wear most face shield with NVGs. That is mostly what i use it for and it has saved more then a few time from rat AI scavs at night.
Instead of "scrambling around like mad" trying to see through a cracked face shield (in your Altyn/Rhys example), why not just press 1 button to flip it up? Call that first shot that didn't head/eyes you a win and then just treat it like a normal helmet while you're killing the person who cracked the mask. Not that running around with a cracked FS isn't a downside, but overall it seems that protection from bullets to your face, even temporarily, outweighs momentary visibility concerns.
Airwing refer to Gigabeef’s “ricochet testing” video from a year ago
When you layer all those face protections with (for example) the airframe
You actually (at least used to) supersede some of your own protections - at least that what it seems like
When they tested pen vs ricochet with APSX - when the subject wore condors for example it tested the class 1 protection and when it penned it ignored the trooper or other heavier masks / shields - it just penned the condors
So may be something you revisit with the new hit boxes and “layered” system of the plates possibly making stacked protection more viable
Thanks
Devtac would have been a solid B tier, but somehow bsg noticed it had no sound muffling and early this wipe they nerfed it adding sound muffling. Went from hearing everything to only hear ppl halfway down an escalator around the corner on interchange.
very interesting, even if i don't really have much time to play seriously anymore, i still like watching RUclips videos about the game
I don't speak nothing of English but I wanna see all helmet
I was literally looking for a video like this a couple hours ago 😂
Bless that air frame helmet. Saved me from cheaters on labs a few times with h that face protection
I had a PMC walk up to me in Factory with the Brawler Helm on, stare at me, I stared at him confusing, slowly noticed his pants had a pistol holder, and his gun was stupid tricked out a second to late, he head shot me the minute I noticed.
so does the angle of shot make any difference when calculating riccochet chance ?
Can’t wait to see my friends reaction when we load up for interchange and they see me rocking the pumpkin
does armor stacking work ? helmet brake and an under it it will bounce from masks etc ?
Love the tier list. My only arguments would be the Altyn. Genuinely think it’s better than the vulkan and deserves S tier. You need to turn and face your enemy when you fight them which is why face protection is so valuable in this game. I think I take tier 5 all around if tier 6 and t4 in the face.
Airsoft Helmet + SLAAP plate will forever be a goated combo. Saved my ass on Labs so many times lol
No kidding on the tank helmet. Hit a scav in the top of the head with a mosin from about 3 feet away and I saw the round spark off the helmet. Then the scav one tapped me.
I haven't even died to an ear shot at all this wipe so if I can put the rack headphones ima use it.
The Tor-2 has the class 3 face shield from Ragman tho! Definitely my go-to budget helmet. U get the full protection PLUS headset underneath. Its like a lvl 3 Exfil helmet. B-tier 100%
With the amount of times I've been head, eyes, head jaws and everything else under the sun - I legit run the TK Fast so I can put RAC's on them. Helms have not saved me once this patch.
I had the acch save me 6 times in a row it’s just up to what helmet you have and how you play
Good shit caleb!
Back in the day and even now you used to be able to wear T7 Thermal glasses to dampen the pumpkin's glowing lights
Might want to test that this wipe
All my SBH kills are Tan ulach. I dont even pick those up, but i do thank each and everyone of you who do, cuz ill see u from miles away :)
yep, it is bad luck.
I disagree about the maska. It's saved me multiple times in a single raid where the only place I ever got shot was the head, lol.
I have this thing where I'm cursed by default, but the curse of the Tan ULAUCH somehow reverses it. like how two negative numbers multiply together into a positive.
Good tested content as all ways
Early in wipe got a dev tac ronin helmet and it saved me countless times
