An advanced helmet for protection. A step up from the [[simple helmet]], this is a mid-tier helmet for most colonist uses. It is the lightest of all the helmets, only weighing 1.2 kg.

== Acquisition ==

Can be crafted at the [[machining table]] using 40 metallic materials, 2 [[component]]s and 10 [[plasteel]].  Requires no research (other than machining) to unlock.

== Analysis ==

Compared to the [[simple helmet]], flak helmets provide significantly more protection while requiring an additional 2 components and 10 plasteel. Power armor helmets, even the [[recon helmet]], outclass the flak helmet in protection to the head and ears as well as covering the pawn's eyes, nose, and jaw, but require additional plasteel and the much more expensive [[advanced component]] to craft. Accordingly, flak helmets are generally the standard headgear of most colonies in the mid-game.

The protection offered by a flak helmet depends on its [[quality]] and [[material]]. It has a material effect multiplier of 70% for all types of damage. See [[Apparel#Materials|apparel]] for material protection values.
Despite the description, flak helmets actually offer a decent amount of protection from blunt damage.

== Version history ==

*Advanced helmets were added in Alpha 17, replacing the Kevlar helmet from previous versions. The major change was that advanced helmets can be made out of any material, requires 5 plasteel to craft and have increased protection across the board.
*In Beta 19 material cost was decreased from 70 to 40, but plasteel cost increased from 5 to 10, and materials now affect armor rating. It also protects against heat.
*In 1.1 Advanced helmets were renamed to Flak helmets
