The SWAT Helmet is a hard tactical helmet worn by police SWAT teams. It is protective gear for the head and one of the better helmets for fighting zombies. It sits in the hat slot.
Its main strength is strong protection against bites and scratches on the head. It also stays on well in a fight. Its main costs are a narrower field of view and some discomfort. It is found almost only in SWAT lockers. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The helmet stops about seven in ten bites and four in five scratches on the head. It keeps the head a little warm and keeps some rain off. It stays on the head through most hits and falls.
The Military Helmet gives the same protection with the same costs. The Crash Helmet also matches its protection and is much warmer. It cuts hearing as well, though, and it is less comfortable. The SWAT Helmet sits between them for a fighter who wants to hear well.
The helmet cuts how far the wearer can see by about a quarter. It is also somewhat uncomfortable to wear for long. It fills the hat slot and cannot be worn with a hooded jacket, a hooded sweater, a full head covering or a full suit with a hood.
Locations
The SWAT Helmet is almost always found in SWAT lockers. Those lockers hold one in more than four searches out of five. Survivor safehouses late in a game can also hold one in a dresser, wardrobe or box, but only by rare chance.
