• Ear protection included with the standalone helmet
• High durability for a helmet

Choose the ULACH helmet if… 

• You are searching for a slightly upper tier helmet without losing too much mobility.

• Being tailored to what type of raid you wish to do whether it be day or night-time.
• Effectively durable at the same time not being restrictive.

Choose the EXFIL helmet if…

• You want a helmet that won’t restrict your character's movement by a great margin.
• You are willing to dump money into customising the helmet, if you can find one or complete the difficult trade with Peacekeeper.

2. Alytn bulletproof helmet

Alytn bulletproof helmet stats/properties

• Type: Helmet
• Weight: 4kg
• Material: Armour steel
• Armour class: 5
• Armour zones: Head
• Armour segments: Top, Nape, Ears
• Durability: 45
• Ricochet chance: High
• Penalties: -3% movement speed/ -17% turn speed/ -7% ergonomics/ High sound reduction
• Blocks headset: Yes
• Blocks Eyewear: No
• Blocks Face cover: Yes

The Altyn helmet is one of the “chaddiest” helmets in the game, with an armour class of 5, and is capable of attaching a face shield that is also class 5. This means that your character will have complete facial protection with class 5. This helmet is available on Glukhar's Scav boss guards and tradeable at Ragman level 4. The one downside of this helmet is the vision impairment due to the face shield and the heavy restrictions on movement.

What the Alytn helmet excels in:

• Protecting your entire head with high class armour.
• Being one of the ideal Labs helmets, due to labs consisting of the best of the best.
• Obscuring your vision.

Choose the Alytn helmet if…

• You don't mind being half blind but well protected.
• You are doing a Labs run.
• You are able to invest a large sum in good gear.

1. Rys-T bulletproof helmet

Alytn bulletproof helmet stats/properties

• Type: Helmet
• Weight: 2.5kg
• Material: Titan
• Armour class: 5
• Armour zones: Head
• Armour segments: Top, Nape, Ears
• Durability: 50
• Ricochet chance: High
• Penalties: -1% movement speed/ -8% turn speed/ -6% ergonomics/ High sound reduction
• Blocks headset: Yes
• Blocks Eyewear: No
• Blocks Face cover: Yes

The Rys-T helmet is essentially the Altyn. However, the Rys-T allows for greater mobility in contrast to the Alytn and is about the same cost. The difference in movement penalties can make the difference when in combat; therefore, this helmet would appear more attractive to the more educated Tarkov players. This helmet is also capable of spawning on boss guards and trading with a level 4 Ragman.

What the Rys-T helmet excels in:

• Protecting your entire head with high class armour.
• Being one of the ideal Labs helmets, due to labs consisting of the best of the best.
• Obscuring your vision.

Choose the Rys-T helmet if… 

• You don't mind being half blind but well protected.
