Hard Hats are safety helmets worn by civilian construction personnel and IDAP aid workers in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Laws of War DLC.
Overview[]
A general-purpose safety helmet, Hard Hats feature moulded slots that can be fitted with a variety of safety-oriented accessories. They have a weight of 15 "mass" units.[CfgWp 1]
Mandatory for workers and visitors on any construction site, Hard Hats provide a tiny amount of protection from projectiles. However, it should be noted that even though Hard Hats are technically rated at Level I protection standards, they are not intended to be ballistic-resistant. Unless a bullet has somehow lost more than 80% of its velocity at the time of impact, Hard Hats won't prevent even a single 9 mm round from incapacitating the wearer.
Variants[]
Ear Protectors[]
This variant is fitted with a set of Ear Protectors for hearing protection. Functionally, it is identical to the baseline helmet but has a weight of 20 "mass" units instead of 15 due to the added weight.[CfgWp 2]
Headset[]
An alternate variant that is equipped with a Headset for communications.
As with the Ear Protectors, Headset-fitted variants weigh slightly more due to the added weight of the headset (20 "mass" units).[CfgWp 3] In all other aspects, it is virtually identical to basic Hard Hats.
