Remember when Bethesda announced the Power Armor edition of Fallout 76? It was the one with the wearable Power Armor Helmets. You’ll have a second chance to grab one with Helmets for Humanity!
Bethesda has announced a partnership with Hypebeast and Habitat for Humanity to produce a collection of custom painted Power Armor helmets. The helmets have been put up for auction, with all of the proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity. The helmet designs feature such artists like Grizzle Marine, Hydro74, and Cloakwork. I don’t know who they are, but I’m not really in the art scene so yea. The entire event is being referred to as the Helmets for Humanity event.
Every helmet is available for auction now on Paddle8, with every listing closing on November 14. Most helmets are currently floating around the $200-$300 range. Though some of the more popular ones are already as high as $1,700. The highest right now is a Nuka Cola helmet, so I get it. It certainly was my favorite of the bunch.
Bethesda made the following statement
All proceeds from the final auction sale of each helmet will benefit Habitat for Humanity, a global nonprofit working in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. and in more than 70 countries, to advance the vision that everyone deserves a decent place to call home. In the spirit of Fallout 76 and global rebuilding, Bethesda is thrilled to continue its support for Habitat for Humanity and their noble mission to transform lives and communities through affordable housing.
There’s a cool perk for those in New York. If you go to the Microsoft Store on Fifth Avenue, you can view the helmets in person. They’re currently on display there.
This marks the second major promotional event Bethesda has done with Habitat for Humanity regarding Fallout 76. Before this, the game studio released their “Take Me Home, Country Roads” cover on iTunes, with all proceeds going to the charity.
You can view and bid on the helmets on the auction site. Fallout 76 releases on November 14 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
