If you shoot a guard wearing a helmet in the face does the helmet still protect him?

I play without reflex, so generally speaking, I've not had enough opportunities to test it but I've had mixed results. I think I've shot people in the face with the tranq and had it blocked, but I've also scored head shots when shooting helmet'ed guards in the face.

Because of all of the talk about microtransactions in this thread I had a dream last night where a college professor demanded a 10 dollar bribe from every student in her class to teach the class or she wouldn't answer questions.

Thanks Konami.

Steam's pretty punctual usually.

If nothing's happened then nothing's happening, guess it's time to wait another 14h to start the download and another 10 after that to play it

I think the official release date in Japan is the 2nd for some reason so I don't think that's going to help any.

Honestly at this point I wouldn't be shocked if everything from Konami has been bullshit and it's unlocking 10am PDT 9/1 like Steam has been saying.

Mission 6 crashfix from playstatiobntrophies.org poster luigino0911 posted:

This happened to me in Mission 6 after getting the Honey Bee Rocket Launcher. After a cutscene my game would always crash just as I resumed gameplay. I found that it was two things that solved this, I stopped rushing towards the exit and I did not call in the Helicopter pick up which Kaz tells you to do. And it worked.
