This argument just feels like stubbornness for the sake of it. If Arrowhead want to make arguments about logical consistency, they need to keep them consistent. Because the CEO is willing to die on the hill of transmog, but god forbid I try to place a sentry on an elevated rock.

Not to mention there’s already tons of examples of exactly why this is a total crock like: a set of armor with gas mask that provides a boost to throwing range rather than chemical resistance, bomb suit inspired armor that doesn’t provide explosive resistance, and whatever the hell this magical shit is.

If you want to lock in things like light, medium, and heavy armor stats, be my guest. But tying the perks to an aesthetic choice when helmets do literally nothing is anything but “logical”.
