The Avenger Helmet is a ballistic-resistant helmet used by the Russian Spetsnaz in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Contact DLC.

Overview[]

This is a premium asset that requires ownership of the Contact expansion pack.

An early predecessor of CSAT's Assassin Helmet, the Avenger is the favoured combat helmet of Spetsnaz operatives deployed deep inside enemy territory.[2] The Avenger Helmet is available in two configurations that have the camouflage cover attached or removed altogether. It has a weight of 45 "mass" units.[CfgWp 1]

Rated at Level III protection standards, the Avenger will allow the wearer to survive being hit by a single intermediate rifle round or up to two 9 mm/.45 pistol bullets at point blank range. However, just like the Assassin Helmet, the Avenger suffers from the same drawback of lacking facial protection. Though it retains a fairly high armour value and has decent surface coverage of the head, the helmet itself will do very little to minimise damage from direct explosions.
