Helmets are Tarkov's most argued purchase: face shields versus ears, ricochet rolls versus raw class, and whether anything above class 4 is worth it while leg meta ammo exists. The answer shifts with every balance patch.
This board ranks the helmets PvP players actually fight in, as voted by the community. If your lucky lid is criminally underrated here, that's what the vote buttons are for.

How is this tier list decided?
It is community-voted: every player gets roughly one vote per entry (changeable anytime), votes are recency-weighted so the list tracks the current patch, entries need a minimum number of votes before being ranked, and results re-tabulate live.
