Overview

In-game description

A protective facemask which provides the user with excellent head protection from all forms of attacks.

Think about where you get hit when you hold a roof. An online raid, you on the edge, peeking down at the rocket crew: every time you lean out, your head is the only thing the other team can see. That is the fight this mask was made for, and why it goes on first once the HQM comes in.

It is a big step up from the coffee can helmet, and it costs like one. A Level 3 bench, 120 scrap to learn, 15 HQM, six sewing kits and fifty leather. The ballistic helmet is a different case: nobody can craft or research it, it turns up only as loot, so the mask is the head armour you can build on purpose.

It covers your whole head, so helmets, bandanas and night vision goggles stay off while you wear it. The view through it is a little narrower than bare-faced, a fair price for what it stops. Add a metal chest plate and you are in the standard late kit.

The hockey mask and the ice version share its row line for line, so pick by looks.
