Kinda weird how other headgear gets so many neato options while helmets only have foam and only 1 real option for lenses.
I'll get straight to the point as it's like 7:00 AM and I've had no sleep.
Lens Options- Image Intensifier Tube - Adds NVG compatibility, requires power source.*
- Glowing Red Lenses - Improves Intimidation skill if powered, requires power source. Q10-160, 5-35 Skill improvement.
Mask Options- Vocal Scrambler - Upgrades Yell to make intimidated targets more likely to be affected by the Brutality feat if powered, requires power source. Q50-160, 2-20% Boost to Brutality**
- Biohazard Upgrade Kit - 35/17 Bio resistance, Perception decreased by 1 and Detection decreased by 20%
*Only compatible with normal lenses, has it's own image intensifier slot.
** Consumes 10 energy on yell, doesn't render unique bandana obsolete as Yell has a 10 turn cooldown and neither can you equip both for hilarity (un)fortunately.
I think these are worthwhile additions because I feel that Metal Helmets could use more stuff considering other headgear and Intimidation isn't that strong. This is still worse than Cruzer's edgelord bandana due to poor uptime 3/10 vs all the time and requiring LoS when casting Yell.
This was written with Melee builds in mind as Heavy/Med AR builds would usually rather use seeker goggles on top of their preferred scope.
Also why wouldn't you want to be Darth Vader menacingly
advancing wheezing towards your
foes victims with an intimidating robotic voice?
