Any NPC follower wearing a helmet will equip and de-equip it as they move, leaving a new helmet behind on the ground. Whilst it’s fairly amusing to imagine a survivor continuously vomiting riot helmets as they run it breaks the game a bit.

I can provide screenshots if needed.

I see it: it looks like NPC code doesn’t account for items that aren’t in inventory or wielded when wielding a new item.
