A '''Recon helmet''' is a full-head power armor helmet that forms a full set along with the [[Recon armor]].
 
  
== Acquisition ==
+
Recon helmets are part of the [[Recon armor]] set in game. It covers the eyes, ears, nose and jaw as opposed to just the head as the other helmets.
{{Acquisition}}
 
  
Alternatively, the armor can be received as a [[quest]] reward, purchased from [[outlander]] and [[Empire]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} [[traders]] and [[faction base]]s, or found on [[Empire#Janissary|Imperial Janissaries]] and other [[Raiders]].{{Check Tag|Which?|What other raider use recon helmets?}}
+
It can be crafted with 30 plasteel and 1 [[advanced component]] or found on incoming pirates.
<!--Table is probably unnecessary unless other raiders wear it, but maybe should be enabled for standardaisation and ease of use anyway? - Harakoni

== Analysis ==  
+
== Analysis ==
Recon helmets are the first helmet since the neolithic [[war mask]]s to offer complete face protection. It is preferable to both [[simple helmet]]s and [[flak helmet]]s, with superior coverage and a higher armor rating than even a plasteel flak helmet. The main downside is the [[advanced component]] required to make each helmet, and competition from the other [[power armor]] helmets.
 
  
The [[marine helmet]] costs only {{Icon Small|plasteel}} 10 [[plasteel]] more, and the [[cataphract helmet]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, {{Icon Small|plasteel}} 20 [[plasteel]]. Once you've [[research]]ed and are capable of making the heavier helmets, there is little reason to make a recon helmet. Unlike the body armors, none of the helmets slow movement speed. It is often worth to wait until you've finished researching [[Research#Marine armor|Marine armor]] and just make marine helmets instead. Note that, in order to research [[Research#Cataphract armor|Cataphract armor]], you will need to obtain 2 [[techprint]]s first.
+
It is a lighter and slightly cheaper alternative to the [[marine helmet]].
 
 
A recon helmet is roughly equal to a marine helmet 1 [[quality]] level lower (i.e. a normal recon helmet ~= poor marine helmet, etc.), or a cataphract helmet 2 qualities lower. Thus, if you've obtained a particularly high quality recon helmet, then it is worth using.

== Styles ==
 
{{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.
