A hard hat is a helmet commonly used by construction workers. Hard hats can be found in four different color variants: blue, red, white, and yellow.

Usage

The hard hat completely protects the wearer's head from scratches and bites. The helmet provides a minor amount of insulation, wind resistance and a moderate amount of water resistance. The helmet has a low chance of being knocked off of the wearer's head when they're attacked.

Effective chance calculations are based off of default loot settings, and median zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits.

Hard hats can be found inside of hardware stores.

The helmet can often be found on construction worker zombies and foreman zombies. Construction worker zombies and foreman zombies can usually be found in the vicinity of a construction site.

Trivia

The hard hat cannot be selected in the character creation menu, even if the character has the construction worker occupation.
