The best headgear to equip in V Rising

A common trait of survival games is the various equipment that players can craft and wear, and V Rising shares this feature. In fact, equipment plays a significant role in V Rising. Donning bone armor or a fancy necklace increases players' overall gear score. To face off against the plethora of V Blood-carrying bosses in the game, like Vincent the Frostbringer, having a gear score close to their level is crucial.

V Rising has multiple slots for equipment: a cape, trinket slot, boots, legs, gloves, chest armor, and helmet. There are also weapon slots, but players can carry as many as they like, so long as they have the inventory for it. Armor also has several tiers, and Merciless Nightstalker armor is replaced by Hollowfang. These sets include a chest piece, leg armor, gloves, and boots.

Notice how helmets aren't included in a set? It is like this for every set in V Rising. That is because headgear cannot be crafted (excluding the Immortal King's Greathelm). Instead, headgear is a random drop or bought from merchants. And more importantly, headgear is entirely cosmetic.

As to which one is the best, it essentially comes down to whatever fits players' sense of style. Headgear is there to add flair to players' immortal vampire in V Rising.

It's worth noting that nearly a dozen more helmets and hats are found in V Rising's game files. These have yet to be released, one of which is in Copper Helmet, and there's one for iron as well. It is unclear if Stunlock Studios plans to add stats to these helmets.
