There will come a time in the life of every Merc when their precious Personality Jelly (brain) finds itself in the way of a speeding needle of lead.

In recent years, MANNCO has received an unusually high amount of customer brain-death reports. MANNCO's research teams have concluded that these deaths stem from a mysterious and esoteric form of Gun-Fu called "Headshotting"

MANNCO is committed to ensuring its paying customers keep paying (research shows that a brain-dead man is unable to pull out his wallet)...

So, MANNCO is proud to present THE BRAIN BELL: a state-of-the-art, rugged, steel lugged, helmet.

Keep your brains from going all over the place with this awfully convinient all-in-one brain storage solution! Use it as a cereal bowl! Fight *them* back!



THE BRAIN BELL: (STATS SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

The good:

User becomes invulnerable to headshots when worn
+22% Bullet Damage Resistance

The bad:

-16% Player Speed penalty
-35% Blast Damage Vulnerability
-35% Fire Damage Vulnerability
You look goofy, bucket brain.

Alright, Dantheollie speaking here.

This hat exists in two versions: the item and the cosmetic version. Let us know whether you'd like this to be an all-class cosmetic, or an actual in-game item for Demoman, Soldier and Heavy!

Your feedback matters, all the aforementioned stats are subject to changed. We have playtested them to ensure the hat isn't OP, or too weak. We think we've achieved a pretty sweet balance... but let us know if we're wrong.

This item is basically an inelegant solution to an inelegant problem. Will Valve ever fix the bot issue? I don't know, ask them! But as long as this is a problem, a tool like this would be pretty good to have.

The item doesn't change the meta or make the Sniper class useless for real players, but severely limits the effectiveness of bots.

Reader, I hope you have a very productive day. Thank you for taking the time to read this and considering our community contribution...
