Helmets are designed to protect the wearer's head against blunt, sharp and projectile weapons, and creature bites. They come in three types: Ballistic Helmet, Gunner's Helmet, and Riot Helmet.
Function
The Ballistic and Riot Helmets are functionally identical. The Gunner's Helmet has lower protection values, but grants +10 Weapons Skill.
Stats

In-game descriptions:
- Ballistic Helmet: While the helmet won't offer adequate protection against most of the inhabitants of the subsurface ocean, it can be extremely useful if there are traitors on board.
- Riot Helmet: Designed for crowd control but equally useful against alien invaders.
- Gunner's Helmet: A bit lighter than a regular ballistic helmet; designed not to get in the way when one is operating a periscope.
Trivia
- Despite the Ballistic Helmet's in-game description stating that it "won't offer adequate protection against most of the inhabitants of the subsurface ocean", it does protect well against several common creature-inflicted afflictions, most notably Bite Wounds.
- Security Officers used to start with one of the Helmets as part of their loadouts.
