Per-Location Statistics

Location	NPCs per Spawn	Helmet Probability	Expected Helmets
Heavy Closet	2	10% each	0.2 per spawn
Per Mission	14 total	10% each	1.4 helmets
Per Hour*	~28-42	10% each	2.8-4.2 helmets

*Estimated based on typical mission rotation

Cumulative Probability Formula

P(at least one helmet) = 1 - (0.9)^n

Where n = number of heavy NPCs encountered

Examples:

• After 10 NPCs: 65.1% chance
• After 20 NPCs: 87.8% chance
• After 30 NPCs: 95.8% chance
