Calculate per-life and repeated cost differences across three helmets without inventing protection stats.
01 Start with recorded prices
Light helmet is $200, medium $500 and heavy $1,500 in community records. Light to medium adds $300 per life, medium to heavy adds $1,000; across three lives that becomes $900 and $3,000.
02 Pair it with armor
If helmet and armor are upgraded together, their costs add up. Hold weapon and medical gear constant and compare full-kit totals before spending next-life cash.
03 Do not claim a measured payoff
This site has no controlled current-build test of head protection or survival rate. A higher price may fit a role, but value requires verified in-game effects alongside cash constraints.
Recorded item prices
These are public community price leads, not individually verified current-shop prices. Ammo, attachments and unlocks are excluded.

Gameplay is grounded in the official Steam overview; base prices are leads from a public community record. This is an independently written decision guide. Early Access can change, so verify the live game before buying.
