#5 Medical Riot Helmet

$11.55

The first skin on our list is the Medical Riot Helmet. The helmet is themed around classic WW2 medic attire, being a solid bluish gray color with a large white circle with a red cross centered on the helmet. The details continue with a thin netting wrapping over the headgear, excluding the cap and ear guards. If you like the military theme, this riot helmet skin may be perfect for you.

#4 Biker Goth Helmet

$16.21

The Biker Goth Helmet brings the goth aesthetic to Rust with its black and red style. The front and back of the helmet are decorated with rhinestones, while a small skull with two crossed scimitars is painted on the side. A red strap sits on the top of the cap, which leads down to the thick black goggles fit with metal studs and two pieces of opaque glass.

#3 Ruthless Riot Helmet

$8.61

The Ruthless Riot Helmet converts the defensive headgear into a decorated football helmet. The helm has a black base with a massive red stripe running down the center. The stripe is decorated with white stars while white text stating “73” sits beside it. The face shield has been replaced by a gray metal facemask, completing the football helmet.

#2 Operator Helmet

$4.75

Take a page out of the safety handbook and try out the Operator Helmet. The skin is by far the silliest on the list, transforming the once-riot helmet into a hard hat. The bright yellow hat is painted with caution symbols along with red text reading “MOREXO” and other small marks. The helmet is fastened using a white band that wraps around the back of the neck, adding a nice finishing touch.

#1 Born To Loot

$24.46

In the first spot is the Born To Loot riot helmet. This skin was the second riot helmet officially accepted into the game and has stood the test of time, maintaining its position as a go-to choice for lovers of its military aesthetic. The green riot helmet is fitted with a classic glass shield along with a long brown belt that wraps around bullets, an ace of spades, and a white painted peace sign. The text “BORN TO LOOT” sits on the side of the helmet topping of this legendary Rust skin.
