The Batting Helmet is a hard baseball helmet. It is protective gear for the head and one of the easiest good helmets to find. It sits in the Hat slot and stops most bites and scratches to the head.
Its strength is protection that stays put. A hit or a fall never knocks it off. Its cost is a narrower view, duller hearing and slightly slower attacks.
The helmet comes in several team looks, including Kentucky, Riverside Rangers and Z Hurricanes. It is found in sports storage, gym storage and baseball stores. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The helmet stops about 70 percent of bites and 80 percent of scratches that land on the head. That equals a Military Helmet. A Bicycle Helmet stops far less, about 30 percent of bites and half of scratches. Warmth is modest, enough to take the edge off cool weather.
The helmet cuts vision by a quarter and hearing by a quarter. Attacks land about 5 percent slower. The helmet adds a little discomfort, a bit less than a Military Helmet does.
It shares the Hat slot with caps and other helmets. Full head helmets, raised hoods and full suits clash with it. Glasses and masks fit under it, since they use other slots.
For early survival it is one of the best head pieces in reach. Sports storage rooms hold one more often than not.
