Helmets, Caps, Hats & Masks!
Below are some suggestions and concepts I have for in-game headwear! I thought it would be really interesting and would add another layer to the game if each hat has a possibility of 1-3 traits also varying in % gain on the individual trait itself. This would not only greatly increase the range of character builds but would also add a determination to get perfect gear and massively increase the value on items with said traits.
Please comment below any thoughts, suggestions or tweaks that you think would improve the idea individually or as a whole. I’m aware that some of my suggestions contradicts current mechanics but what’s a suggestion without complicated code right? 😁
