Update history
October 20, 2017 Patch (Jungle Inferno Update)
- The Shellmet was added to the game.
Trivia
- Helmets often seen in Vietnam had a green camo pattern, and many soldiers would strap items on top for easy access, such as the ammo and gun oil bottle shown on this cosmetic.
- Given the notorious gun jamming issues of the Vietnam War, gun oil bottles were common helmet band items.
- Smoking was common during wartime as a way to relieve stress from battle.
- Because they do not share an equip region, the Soldier's Stogie can be worn with this item, letting the Soldier smoke two things at the same time.
