Elite Riot Gear Helmet

The Elite riot gear helmet is a unique piece of armor

Background
Aesthetically, the helmet lacks the emblem of the Advanced Riot Gear Helmet, but has a white U.S. Army star on the side. It has additional green tubes on its enhanced gas filter as well as an antenna connected to the flashlight on the right side of the helmet. The helmet is equipped with advanced optics and a night vision unit which interfaces with riot armor to provide night vision.

The riot gear helmets are of the very few headgear pieces that are considered "Heavy" apparel and thus cannot be repaired by most other headgear, even with Jury Rigging. Like the other riot gear variants, the helmet gives a night vision effect (called "Red Scare"), which gives the user low-light visibility while in sneak mode between 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM or while indoors. The effect is only active while the Courier is sneaking and seems to differ depending on time, with red night vision at 12:00 AM, and lighter green in darkened areas during daytime hours. Playing Caravan while the sneak sight is activated may make it difficult to see the cards.
