Fallout 76 Sells Painted Power Armor Helmets for Charity

It may be too late to have grabbed your own Power Armor helmet with the special edition of Fallout 76. But no you have another chance. And this time, it's for charity. Get ready for the Helmets for Humanity program.

Bethesda has partnered with Habitat for Humanity and Hypbeast for a charity event in the form of a special auction. A large number of one-of-a-kind Fallout 76 Power Armor helmets have been listed for auction, each with a custom paint job. Many of the designs are done by renown artists, such as Grizzle Marine, Hydro74, and Cloakwork. Every auction will continue until November 14, the same day as the release of Fallout 76.

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.

Those living in the New York area can actually visit the helmets in person. The Microsoft Store on Fifth Avenue is holding the items, where they can be viewed up close.

While most helmets are sitting between $200 and $300, one particular helmet design is far more popular than the rest. The Nuka Cola style Power Armor helmet, with nearly 10 times the number of bids, currently sits at $1,600.

This isn't the first time Bethesda has worked with Habitat for Humanity, nor is it even the first time Fallout 76 was involved. The cover of Take Me Home Country Roads used in the Fallout 76 announcement trailer was sold on iTunes, where 100% of the proceeds were given 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.
