A '''Recon helmet''' is a full-head power armor helmet that forms a full set along with the [[Recon armor]].

== Acquisition ==
{{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?}}
<!--Table is probably unnecessary unless other raiders wear it, but maybe should be enabled for standardaisation and ease of use anyway? - Harakoni

== 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 with 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.

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.

== Trivia ==
Every recon helmet found on an [[Empire#Janissary|Imperial Janissary]] will be black.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/1.1.0|1.1.0]] - Added.
* [[Version/1.1.2647|1.1.2647]] - No longer meets the clothing requirement of nobles, replaced in that role by [[Prestige recon helmet]].

== See Also ==
*[[Prestige recon helmet]] - a variant of the recon helmet that both pleases nobles and improves psychic ability.
