As many of you may know, originally helmets were going to get passives like armors and you were going to be able to combine them with chest armors for more freedom of expression and customization. The code for this still exists, and until recently there was a method to equip chest armors in the head slot (it's fixed now), and you would get the passives of both armors. And yeah, it was so much fun! Combining different passives to build a more unique playstyle was so much fun, the most fun I've had with this game. It wasn't even overpowered in most cases because there were only a couple passives that could stack with itself. It mostly opened up the ability to wear a good armor, but still also have fun with the addition of a more memey passive.
I guess all this to say, people probably don't realize just how much helmet passives could add to the game. I never see it discussed anymore, but it should be a main requested feature up there with better/more weapon/vehicle customization! I just want to get that sentiment going by bringing it to people's attention again, hopefully. Thanks
