#The helmet prices are stupid.

either it's an oversight or it's due to the lvl 9 helmet standing out more with it's red color
Before they re-arranged the shops the helmets that could be purchased in the shops were generally about 2 to 3 times more expensive than helmets that offered similar protection that you could not purchase in the shops. The tier 7 and 9 helmets were one of the most obvious examples of this. This seems to have been done due to how important helmets are because of the 3.25x head shot multiplier and was not based on the protective value of the helmet.
Also - red paint is expensive and rare in space - it's hard to come by cochineal. 😄
hmm? i would assume red paint is cheap as the red helmet is the dirt cheap one
Yeah, that would be the argument for swapping the costs so the red one is more expensive. 🙂
a crappy argument considering that red paint is just on top of it which would add costs on top of the better materials so it doesn't work.
The devs probably just never adjusted the price of the Light Stahlhelm since it was already a shop item before guilds. So they just added the Stahlhelm without adjusting the prices of the other shop items. Thing is that this isn't the only shop screw up for example the Mauser Ext. Mag got removed from the shop while the shop was the only way to obtain it and now you can't get it anymore.
i do wonder if the mauser ext mag removal was an accident or intentional
maybe they wanted only the special version to have 20 rounds in it
Probably not. I asked Mett about and he seemed perplex that it was removed. Plus the Mauser still has the option for a mag attachment in the weapon menu.
Not that at all - more of a silly comment based on someone else (one of the devs, actually) mentioning bugs when talking about helmets and paint and helmet costs because he knows cochineal bugs are used for red pigment. Just read this: #💬︱general message
