explosions, armors, helmets, and decapitation

[Noah Buttes]

yeah dude, helmets are already fairly valuable when youre getting hit by regular objects or being punched. this thread pertains to explosives and gibbing, which dont really take helmets into account as far as i know. if im incorrect feel free to add in, testing armor/helmet/helmetless combos against explosives isnt an undertaking ive... undertaken

The only helmet that affects blast damage is the EOD helmet, and that only works if you're wearing the EOD armor along with it.
