Heavy Frankenstein Head

The tough head for your Halloween monster: slightly slower, slightly stronger. You cannot craft it, whatever the recipe says, so it comes from loot.

Overview

In-game description

Slightly slower, slightly stronger. Combined at a Frankenstein Table to create your very own monster.

You do not wear it. It goes onto the Frankenstein table with a torso and legs, and the game text sums up what it changes in one line: slightly slower, slightly stronger. Nothing more precise is in the row.

Ignore the recipe on this page. It asks for six pieces of raw human meat, 15 animal fat and 30 bone fragments, twice the meat of the light Frankenstein head, but the game files say neither head can be crafted or researched at all. Both come from loot, recycling or trade, so harvesting bodies for this recipe gets you nothing.

So the choice is about what you have, not what you can afford. Say your duo comes back from a night of Halloween looting with one heavy head and a light torso and legs. If you want the monster tonight, a heavy head over light parts is a fair compromise, as long as your server lets you mix builds. Keep the head in a box rather than on you: losing a part you cannot rebuild hurts more than losing meat.
