The Old Army Helmet is a metal combat helmet from an earlier war. It is a memento, but it is also one of the toughest pieces of headwear a survivor can find.
The helmet stops most zombie bites and scratches to the head. The cost is comfort and sight, since it narrows the view and is tiring to wear. It is a fine find for a survivor who expects close fights.
The helmet is a rare find, turning up mostly in army surplus stores and pawn shops.
Using
The helmet is worn in the Hat slot and covers the head. It stops about seven in ten bites and eight in ten scratches aimed at the head. That makes it a strong guard for the part of the body that is hardest to protect.
The helmet has its costs. It cuts the wearer's view by a quarter, so zombies can get closer before they are seen. It is also uncomfortable to wear for long. It gives a little warmth and keeps off some rain.
Any other hat has to come off first. Hooded jackets, hooded sweaters and full head or full suit pieces also clash with it. It sometimes falls off when the wearer is knocked down.
As a keepsake, the helmet is a piece of history. It counts as metal as well.
Locations
Army surplus counters and pawn shop storage are the best bets, though the odds are low. Pawn shop counters, display cases and shelves come next. Survivor safehouses and attics hold one only on very rare occasions. The helmet is a rare find, so a trip to an army surplus store is the surest plan.
