The '''flak helmet''' is 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.

Compared to the [[simple helmet]], flak helmets provide significantly more protection while requiring an additional 2 components and 10 plasteel. A [[steel]] flak helmet outclasses even a [[plasteel]] simple helmet and is often cheaper to manufacture.
  
−
Flak helmets strike a middle ground between the cheap [[simple helmet]] and the [[marine helmet]], being moderately easy to make and provides average protection. Flak helmets are reached much easier in research tree than marine helmets, and when made of [[plasteel]] they offer sharp protection comparable to marine helmets, while having significantly higher item hp (over 2x), thus serving longer. As a downside, flak helmets do not provide eye, nose or jaw protection.
+
All 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 the much more expensive [[advanced component]] to craft. Keep in mind that while a plasteel flak helmet has a significantly larger item HP, lasting over twice as long, it also requires more plasteel than both the recon and [[marine helmet]]s and as much as a [[cataphract helmet]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} while also being less protective. Accordingly, steel flak helmets are generally the standard headgear of most colonies in the mid-game until they are replaced by [[power armor]] helmets in the late-game.

The flak helmet is 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[edit]

Flak helmets can be crafted at a machining table once the flak armor research project has been completed. Each requires Stuff 40 Stuff (Metallic, 400 for SMVs), Component 2 Components, Plasteel 10 Plasteel, 8,000 ticks (2.22 mins) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter and the work to make factor of the material, and a crafting skill of 5.

Alternatively, the helmet can be received as a quest reward, purchased from traders, or found on raiders.

Analysis[edit]

Compared to the simple helmet, flak helmets provide significantly more protection while requiring an additional 2 components and 10 plasteel. A steel flak helmet outclasses even a plasteel simple helmet and is often cheaper to manufacture.

All 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 the much more expensive advanced component to craft. Keep in mind that while a plasteel flak helmet has a significantly larger item HP, lasting over twice as long, it also requires more plasteel than both the recon and marine helmets and as much as a cataphract helmet Content added by the Royalty DLC while also being less protective. Accordingly, steel flak helmets are generally the standard headgear of most colonies in the mid-game until they are replaced by power armor helmets in the late-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 for material protection values. Despite the description, flak helmets actually offer a decent amount of protection from blunt damage.
