As a complicated piece of technology, Recon Helmets can only be made at the [[Fabrication bench]] and requires [[Research#Recon armor|Recon Armor]] to be researched in order to be constructed. Crafting the helmet requires {{icon|plasteel|30}} plasteel and {{icon|advcomponent|1}} advanced component.
  
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?}}

== 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.
+
Recon helmets are the lowest tier of the three power armored helmets, the other two being the [[Marine helmet]] and the [[Cataphract helmet]].  As such they're both significantly cheaper and have fewer research requirements, while also offering significantly less protection. While they have the same full head coverage, the recon helmet is roughly equivalent to a Marine Helmet one [[quality]] level below (e.g. a Normal Recon Helmet ~= Poor Marine Helmet), or a cataphract helmet two quality levels below.  
  
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.
+
Compared to the non-power armored helmets like the [[Simple helmet|Simple]] and [[Flak helmet]], the recon helmet is almost totally superior. It offers superior coverage, covering the face as well as the head, has a higher armor rating than even a plasteel flak helmet and requires 20 less plasteel to construct, however it does require a relatively rare advanced component instead of two of the more common components.  
  
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.
+
War veils and war masks provide identical coverage, but even with high level materials, they only offer a fraction of the sharp and blunt protection.

{{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.
