RagefulShrimp Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 This helmet seems unbalanced. It's a must have item which you can't replace. Even during a day flashlight is useful inside buildings. I see a two ways to give people reasons to use other helmets(just more damage reduction is not enough): 1) Remove mining helmet completely. Kinda cruel fix but it would work. 2) Make a flashlight attachable to any helmet or to a body armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombie4hire Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I always use a mining helmet, but you can attach a flashlight to a gun for decent lighting everywhere, as long as you do not need to use a tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard_86 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I still want one of these that I can cobble together from a looted flashlight. I'd love to actually use another helmet but not without some other body mounted light source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whorhay Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I would really like to see every helmet have the option of attaching a flashlight, but make it cost duct tape to do so somehow. Then have using the light drain the durability of the flashlight so that you have to recharge/repair it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosmic Kerman Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 It's been modded. You can attach a torch to any headwear It’s been mentioned that this is what the devs want. It’s not entirely clear if this is coming in A17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdGate Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Night vision goggles are pretty useful now... Thats true, In A16 it covers all I need at night, except mining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneArmedBandit Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Thats true, In A16 it covers all I need at night, except mining. wouldn't in that case a swap to the "mining" helmet make sense :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamer1337 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 on pvp server experienced players doesnt use mining helmet because its bugged and show light even if its off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redoutz Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I can't see why they don't allow for carrying a flashlight in your other hand. That would then allow you to carry a club, pistol or anything one handed and still have light. That would give a reason to carry a pistol even when you have an SMG or a shotgun. But currently you can attach a flashlight to any gun so once you have them you have light and a weapon. So It's only when you use bows, melee weapons and tools that you need the miner's helmet. And no other helmet will get used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A football helmet, electronics and a few other parts and you can make a new helmet, or forged iron, repairs the helmet I'm fairly certain. Also I just use the helmets when I'm pretending to be a mole now, I do a lot more night work now that stealth works well, and sing praises to RNGJesus when I finally find my first NV goggles.

Bubo Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Yep. If you can't find one early game, just gather the recipe items and go visit a trader with a workbench. Once I get a mining helmet, it spoils it for all the other hats =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He means that the utility of having a light vastly outweighs the benefits or having head armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
