Recon helmets are the lowest tier of the three [[power armor]]ed helmets, the other two being the [[marine helmet]] and the [[cataphract helmet]]. The first to offer full head coverage, as do the others, the recon helmet is roughly equivalent to a Marine helmet one [[quality]] level lower (i.e. a normal recon helmet ~= poor marine helmet, etc.), or a Cataphract helmet of two quality levels lower. Although offering noticeably less protection, recon helmets are both significantly cheaper and have fewer research requirements.

Recon helmets are the first helmet since the neolithic [[war mask]]s, or [[Ceremonial hood]]{{AnomalyIcon}}, to offer complete face protection. It is preferable to both [[simple helmet]]s and [[flak helmet]]s, with superior coverage and a higher armor rating than even a plasteel flak helmet. The main downside is the [[advanced component]] required to make each helmet, and competition from the other [[power armor]] helmets.
  
−
Compared to the [[simple helmet]] and [[flak helmet]], the recon helmet is preferable by almost every measure. It offers superior coverage, adding complete face coverage, has a higher armor rating than even a plasteel flak helmet, and requires 20 less plasteel to construct. Its ''only'' drawbacks are that it requires an [[advanced component]], which the simpler helmets do not, and ''requires'' plasteel, which is only an option with the simpler helmets.  
+
The [[marine helmet]] costs only {{Icon Small|plasteel}} 10 [[plasteel]] more, and the [[cataphract helmet]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, {{Icon Small|plasteel}} 20 [[plasteel]]. Once you've [[research]]ed and are capable of making the heavier helmets, there is little reason to make a recon helmet. Unlike the body armors, none of the helmets slow movement speed. It is often worth to wait until you've finished researching [[Research#Marine armor|Marine armor]] and just make marine helmets instead. Note that, in order to research [[Research#Cataphract armor|Cataphract armor]], you will need to obtain 2 [[techprint]]s first.

[[Veil]]s and [[war mask]]s provide identical coverage, but even with the highest level materials, they only offer a fraction of the sharp and blunt protection.

A recon helmet is roughly equal to a marine helmet 1 [[quality]] level lower (i.e. a normal recon helmet ~= poor marine helmet, etc.), or a cataphract helmet 2 qualities lower. Thus, if you've obtained a particularly high quality recon helmet, then it is worth using.

So, if you have the materials, this is the obvious choice unless you can produce one of the other power armor helmets. Note that there are no movement or significant weight considerations to any helmets, and all three power armor helms are equal (minor) insulation in hot/cold weather.

A Recon helmet is a full-head power armor helmet that forms a full set along with the Recon armor.

Acquisition[edit]

Recon helmets can be crafted at a fabrication bench once the recon armor research project has been completed. Each requires Plasteel 30 Plasteel, Advanced component 1 Advanced component, 15,750 ticks (4.38 mins) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter, and a crafting skill of 6.

Alternatively, the armor can be received as a quest reward, purchased from outlander and Empire Content added by the Royalty DLC traders and faction bases, or found on Imperial Janissaries and other Raiders.[Which?]

Analysis[edit]

Recon helmets are the first helmet since the neolithic war masks, or Ceremonial hoodContent added by the Anomaly DLC, to offer complete face protection. It is preferable to both simple helmets and flak helmets, with superior coverage and a higher armor rating than even a plasteel flak helmet. The main downside is the advanced component required to make each helmet, and competition from the other power armor helmets.

The marine helmet costs only Plasteel 10 plasteel more, and the cataphract helmetContent added by the Royalty DLC, Plasteel 20 plasteel. Once you've researched and are capable of making the heavier helmets, there is little reason to make a recon helmet. Unlike the body armors, none of the helmets slow movement speed. It is often worth to wait until you've finished researching Marine armor and just make marine helmets instead. Note that, in order to research Cataphract armor, you will need to obtain 2 techprints first.

A recon helmet is roughly equal to a marine helmet 1 quality level lower (i.e. a normal recon helmet ~= poor marine helmet, etc.), or a cataphract helmet 2 qualities lower. Thus, if you've obtained a particularly high quality recon helmet, then it is worth using.
