With a multitude of Exotic helmets to choose from, such as Celestial Nighthawk and Graviton Forfeit, it can be difficult for Hunters to select the helmet that is right for them. Destiny 2 is full of Exotic armor pieces that drastically change the flow of battle, providing players with unique mechanics that make every fight feel new and fresh. One of these one-of-a-kind armor pieces is Knucklehead Radar, an Exotic helmet that can be equipped by Hunters only. Here’s a description of what Knucklehead Radar is, and how to use it.
Knucklehead Radar possesses the Upgraded Sensor Pack perk, which “provides radar while you’re aiming” and “enhances your radar resolution while crouched.” This Exotic is theonly armor piece that reveals the radar even when you are aiming down sights. As for the radar resolution enhancements, your radar typically looks like this:
However, when you are crouched with Knucklehead Radar equipped,your radar becomes more precise. You can more accurately pinpoint the direction of any dangers. The enhanced radar looks like this:
This ability is incredibly helpful in PvP, due to the precise radar detection. Knucklehead Radar removes the guesswork from player combat and allows you to be aware of enemy locations at all times. Althoughthis ability is supreme in PvP, it is less helpful in PvE. Generally, the precise locations of rank-and-file enemies are less important than player locations.
This helmet is most effective when paired with aHand Cannon or Auto Rifle. With a Hand Cannon likeLast WordorMalfeasance, the combination can be deadly. However, Knucklehead Radar should not be paired with the Exotic Hand CannonAce of Spades, as that weapon also enables the radar while aiming.
As for Auto Rifles,Knucklehead Radar pairs well with Gnawing Hunger or Krait. The radar that is granted during aiming is helpful for those who enjoy dishing out damage but still keeping a sense of situational awareness. This combination is lethal in Crucible and is also beneficial for PvE, although it is not the best PvE option.

Foetracer - Hunter Exotic helmet
Foetracer is an Exotic Hunter helmet thatvisually marks enemies with red. This helmet alsodeals more damage to low health enemiesandincreases the airborne effectiveness of all weapons. Although its ability is different from Knucklehead Radar, its main philosophy is still “identify all enemies.”
Foetracer helps reduce the chaos in gunfights and prevents player outfits from blending in from the background. It is primarily effective in PvP, and although it increases the damage inflicted upon low-health enemies, it is inferior to other Exotics in PvE. This is a good alternative to Knucklehead Radar, especially if you struggle with locating enemies.
Ace of Spades - Exotic Hand Cannon
Ace of Spades is an Exotic Hand Cannon thatenables the player’s radar while aiming down sights. Although it lacks the enhanced radar resolution, Ace of Spades is the closest alternative to Knucklehead Radar due to their similar perks. This Hand Cannon is extremely strong in PvP, and although it is less viable in PvE, the ability to pair it with an Exotic armor piece makes it decently strong. Ace of Spades is a powerful pick in Crucible matches.

It is lethal in Crucible matches, as well as Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner.
Eye of Another World - Warlock Exotic helmet

This helmet also improves the airborne effectiveness of all weapons. It is the Warlock equivalent of Foetracer and is focused on locating enemies.
