The '''Flak Helmet''' is an advanced helmet for protection. A step up from the [[simple helmet]], this is a mid-tier helmet for most colonist uses. It is the lightest of all the helmets, only weighing 1.2 kg.

Flak helmets can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.

Flak helmets can be crafted at the [[machining table]] once [[Research#Flak armor|Flak Armor]] has been researched. Crafting the helmet requires {{icon|buildingmat|40}} [[Metals|metallic]] materials, {{icon|component|2}} [[component]]s and {{icon|plasteel|10}} [[plasteel]].
  
Alternatively, the helmet can be received as a quest reward, purchased from [[traders]], or found on [[raiders]].

All power armor helmets, even the [[recon helmet]], outclass the flak helmet in protection to the head and ears as well as covering the pawn's eyes, nose, and jaw, but require the much more expensive [[advanced component]] to craft. Keep in mind that while a plasteel flak helmet has a significantly larger item HP, lasting over twice as long, it also requires more plasteel than both the recon and [[marine helmet]]s and as much as a [[cataphract helmet]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} while also being less protective. Accordingly, steel flak helmets are generally the standard headgear of most colonies in the mid-game until they are replaced by [[power armor]] helmets in the late-game.

The protection offered by a flak helmet depends on its [[quality]] and [[material]]. It has a material effect multiplier of 70% for all types of damage. See [[Apparel#Materials|apparel]] for material protection values. Despite the description, flak helmets actually offer a decent amount of protection from blunt damage.

{{Ideology|No category}}
 
[[Ideoligion]]s 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.

* '''Advanced helmets''' were added in Alpha 17, replacing the '''Kevlar helmet''' from previous versions. The major change was that advanced helmets can be made out of any material, requires 5 plasteel to craft and have increased protection across the board.
