Imports:Tin Can

The Tin Can is a Heavy Armour that is equipped in the Headgear slot. It is sold by UC and HN Armour Vendors as well as HN and Ronin Hat Vendors.

It is the defining helmet of Mighty Canhead. It is randomly equipped by City Heroes, Hero Bosses, Territorial Thugs, United Heroes, and Yabuta Outlaws.

This armour has inventory dimensions of 3x3.

Appearance

Simple in design the Tin Can covers the entire face with with the exception for a horizontal slit that allows the character to see out of. It has an extended neckpiece that covers the front of the character's neck. It is similar in appearance to the flat-topped European great helm of the High Middle Ages.

Blueprints

It can be crafted at the Heavy Armour Smithy.

Trivia

• Tin Can has the highest penalty to Melee attack which makes it the best helmet to wear when training it.
  • It also lacks any Duststorm protection allowing for even faster training in one.
• Tin Can has the largest Harpoon Resistance of any piece of Armour in Kenshi. Only a Masterwork quality Eagle's Cross shot from the max height (+50% damage) could get through the Resistance. And even then, the cut damage taken would be very minor.
  • As a tradeoff it has the lowest Cut Efficiency of the [Metal Plate] Helmets with 100% Head Coverage, meaning that 35% of the harpoon damage it mitigates will be turned into Stun damage.
• 90% is the max cut resistance a single item can have. If this wasn't the case the Tin Can would have a massive 95% Cut resistance at Masterwork quality.
