In the early game, you can get away with [[steel]] [[simple helmet|simple helmets]], especially if you have fortifications like barricades, sandbags or rock chunks that protect most of the body except of the head. While these will scarcely protect you from a rifle bullet, their main function is not tanking damage from large weapons. Steel simple helmets, assuming normal or better [[quality]], will be enough to protect your colonists from shrapnel, handgun rounds, shotgun pellets and beanbags. This is of extreme value, to say the least, because brain injuries are often fatal and if not will always cause brain scarring. Unless you like using your [[healer mech serum]] on brain-damaged fighters, having [[luciferium]]-addicted colonists or straight up dealing with losses that could've easily been avoided, you should immediately work on steel simple helmets. | In the early game, you can get away with [[steel]] [[simple helmet|simple helmets]], especially if you have fortifications like barricades, sandbags or rock chunks that protect most of the body except of the head.

− | Once pirates, outlanders and even mercenaries begin rolling in with strong weapons, steel helmets aren't going to cut it. At this stage, you want [[flak helmet|flak helmets]] and [[flak vest|vests]]. Modern armies in 21st century Earth will almost always, given the funds, equip their front-line fighters with two main pieces of armor: vests and helmets. Flak helmets provide superior protection compared to simple helmets and flak vests will protect vitals like the [[heart]], [[lung|lungs]], [[liver]] and [[kidney|kidneys]] from even rifles and shotgun slugs. Keep in mind that preventing a projectile from penetrating doesn't mean all is well, though. Bruising can and often will occur and the armor will be degraded, reducing future effectiveness. Flak vests and pants are nice to have, protecting mainly the extremities, but are hardly a necessity and only provide light protection. | + | Once pirates, outlanders and even mercenaries begin rolling in with strong weapons, steel helmets aren't going to cut it.
