Hockey Mask (Fallout: New Vegas)

Hockey masks are pieces of headwear in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Covering the face, they are off-white with red and blue stripes on it and have a worn appearance. The benefits to the wearer of the hockey mask is that their Unarmed skill is raised by 5 points when equipped.

Locations

 * One can be found in the Mesquite Mountains lean-to
 * Randomly found on escaped convicts in Primm.
 * Can be purchased from Quartermaster Bardon in the Hoover Dam offices.
 * One can be found in a box in house in Higgs Village in the Big MT.

Behind the scenes

 * The mask's main shape is based upon the mask worn by former NHL goaltender Jacques Plante.
 * The hockey mask as raider headgear may be a reference to Lord Humungus, the villain in Mad Max 2(AKA The Road Warrior in the U.S.).
 * The 5 point skill increase in Unarmed is likely a reference to the fact that some hockey players have a tendency to get into fist-fights during a game. The involvement of a goalie in such altercations is very rare however.
 * The markings on the mask bear a striking resemblance to the "war paint" used by the street gang in Death Wish 3. This could be a coincidence, but due to the same colors and markings used it could be a unintentional design. Also, hockey masks in game are normally used by raiders who share much in common with the street gangs of Death Wish 3
