Whether you’re looking to boost a S.P.E.C.I.A.L. rank or add a bit of extra protection to your ensemble, the right piece of headgear can improve both your performance and your appearance. These items come in a variety of styles, some of which cover part or all of your face.
You can use armor workbenches to modify mining helmets and any headgear associated with major armor sets. A few additional headgear items can be modified with help from the Railroad.
