A Marine helmet is a full-head power armor helmet that forms a full set along with the Marine armor.
Acquisition
Marine helmets can be crafted at a Fabrication bench once the Marine armor research project has been completed. They require 40 Plasteel, 1 Advanced component, 21,000 ticks (5.83 mins) of work, and a Crafting skill of 7.
Alternatively, they can be received as a quest reward, found in ancient shrines, purchased from outlander and Empire traders and faction bases, or obtained from the following raider kinds:
Raider Kind | Chance | Average Quality | Health |
---|---|---|---|
Elite mercenary | ? | Normal | 70-230% |
Boss | ? | Normal | 70-230% |
Grenadier | 100% | Normal | 70-230% |
Summary
When worn by a slave, a marine helmet increases the rate that suppression is lost by 10% per day. This stacks additively with all other forms of suppression loss rate offsets.
Analysis
Marine helmets are the middle tier of the three power armored helmets, the other two being the Recon helmet and the Cataphract helmet. As expected, they're also the middle tier in expense and protection as well. While they have the same full head coverage, the marine helmet is roughly equivalent to a Recon Helmet of one quality level above (e.g. a Normal Marine Helmet ~= Good Recon Helmet), or a cataphract helmet one quality levels below.
Like the Recon helmet, the marine helmet is almost totally superior to the non-power armored helmets like the Simple and Flak helmet. It offers superior coverage, covering the face as well as the head, has significantly higher armor ratings for the same quality, and requires 10 less plasteel to construct, however it does require a relatively rare advanced component instead of two of the more common components.

Styles
This article relates to content added by Ideology (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled. |
Ideoligions allow the selection of styles which then change the texture of the certain items and buildings when constructed by the colony. These style variants can be crafted if the colony has the selected style, or can be looted from raiders from factions with the requisite style.
Trivia
Every marine helmet found on an Imperial Grenadier will be green.
Version history
- 0.19/1.0 - it received a recipe change and a rename from Power helmet to Marine helmet.
- 1.1 - Received a buff to sharp protection (100% --> 106%) and blunt protection (36% --> 45%) and a nerf to heat protection (90% --> 54%).
- 1.1.2647 - No longer meets the clothing requirement of nobles, replaced in that role by Prestige marine helmet
- 1.3.? - description changed to fix the lore inconsistency as Imperial Janissaries don't wear the helmet. "Armor like this is often used by imperial janissaries and rapid-incursion space marines." -> "Armor like this is often used by rapid-incursion space marines.".
