Using the Beam Reactor Helmet in Combat

Armor Capabilities

The Beam Reactor Helmet functions as both protective gear and a direct-fire offensive weapon. When equipped in your armor slot, it grants defensive stats slightly superior to a Netherite helmet.

Firing the Guardian Laser

Unlike stationary turrets that require external rotational mechanisms, the helmet is operated manually during combat:

1. Equip the Beam Reactor Helmet in your helmet slot.

2. Aim your crosshair toward approaching enemies.

3. Press the laser activation key (R by default) to emit a continuous guardian beam straight from your helmet.

4. Sweep the beam across groups of hostiles. Any enemies caught within the beam's direct path will take continuous damage.

5. Keep an eye on your helmet's durability bar while firing. Using the laser continuously drains the durability of the helmet. Cease firing when targets are eliminated to avoid breaking the armor piece.
