Helmets Tier List for Arc Raiders

Helmets protect against the most lethal damage type in Arc Raiders: headshots. Without a helmet, a single well placed shot can end your raid. This tier list ranks all helmets by how much they improve your survival odds.

S Tier

Top tier helmets that can save you from one shot headshots. Essential for PvP and dangerous PvE zones.

• Reinforced Helmet (Uncommon)

A Tier

Strong helmets with good protection ratings. Reliable headshot mitigation at a reasonable weight cost.

• Basic Helmet (Common)

B Tier

Decent helmets that offer basic headshot protection. Better than nothing but you will feel the difference against S tier.

C Tier

Minimal helmets with barely noticeable protection. Almost cosmetic. Replace immediately with anything better.
