Once Human: How to Hide Your Helmet

Once Human characters fighting no helmet sign

Once Human players want to hide a helmet from their view when playing as their character. Many titles have this option regarding armor being a part of the mechanics. For example, Ghost of Tsushima allows players to remove face mask gear so players can see Jin’s face. Once Human is no different in this regard.

Players can hide the armor they wear in the game, as a means to show off their fashion styles. However, many are hoping to be able to hide just the helmet. That way they can survive in the game while both displaying their armor and being able to see their character clearly. Additionally, some of the helmets in the game may not be all that appealing to some players. Therefore, being able to toggle the appearance of them on and off would be useful. Below, we have created a guide on how to hide a helmet in Once Human from their character’s appearance.

How to Hide Your Character’s Helmet & Armor in Once Human

Players can hide a helmet on their character by going to their inventory and choosing to hide it. The process to do so is easy and allows players to toggle between hiding it and revealing it at will. Therefore, if a player wishes to change their look and go with a helmet, they can do so in just a few seconds. By following the steps below, players can hide the helmet on their characters in Once Human:

  1. Open your inventory in the game by pressing the “I” key.
  2. Once you have this menu open, look for the “Gear” tab and click on it.
  3. Next, head to the “Equip” section.
  4. This menu shows all of your gear that are equipped and what you can do with them.
  5. Hover over the helmet gear with your mouse.
  6. There will be an option to “Hide Gear” with the “V” key, select this.
  7. Your character can now hide their helmet in Once Human.

The above process is very fast to do and players can go back to the helmet gear and the option to unhide the gear will also appear. Additionally, the steps also work for any other pieces of gear. Whether players wish to hide their chest piece, face mask, or even pants. Once Human allows players to dress how they want and accessorize what they wish to keep on or hide. However, many may be curious to know whether if you hide a helmet, the character’s stats get affected.

Does Hiding Your Helmet in Once Human Affect Stats?

Fortunately, no. If you choose to hide your helmet in Once Human, your character’s stats are not affected. The same goes for any other piece of your inventory that you choose to hide in the game. The option to hide the clothing is merely for cosmetic purposes, so players can change the look of their character. Almost every other title that features this mechanic is also the same. It allows players to not get punished because they dislike the look of a gear piece.

It is not uncommon to choose what your character looks like over wearing specific armor. Some games include spiky armor or rusty aesthetics, something that can be offputting. However, with Once Human giving you the option to just hide the different gear, players can choose to keep a more civilian look to their character if they wish.

That is everything to know about how to hide your helmet in Once Human. If you are strolling around the game’s world with your hair blowing in the wind, you may want to know the locations of vendors in the game. Make sure to check out our guide on it.
