Knights Armour Helmet
The Knights Armour Helmet is a mid-tier form of headwear, an exact statistical duplicate of the common Coffee Can Helmet, usually acting as the precursor to the Metal Facemask with regard to game progression. It was added to the RUST Item Store as part of the Medieval Pack DLC in February 2025 as part of the Primitive Update.
While not as protective as its Metal Facemask counterpart, this drop in protection does come at a considerable drop in crafting cost. Requiring only a Tier 2 Work Bench instead of the expensive tier 3, many teams will use the Coffee Can Helmet substantially further into a wipe’s progression than similar helmets like the Wolf Headdress and Bucket Helmet.
While the Knights Armour DLC is required to craft, the non-skinned variant Coffee Can Helmet has a reasonably high drop rate from several sources, especially supply drops. It is also a mainstay in military crates and may be crafted via the Research Table or the tier 2 tech tree.
The chief complaint of all-metal gear within RUST, including the coffee can set, is its susceptibility to cold, especially during the night cycle or while wet.
