Description:

Picture this: You’re a skilled blacksmith in the apocalypse forging and assembling a Hounskull Bascinet from memory because it’s your hyperfixation.

This mod adds a craftable hounskull bascinet to Project Zomboid. It cannot be found anywhere, it must be crafted at a forge like you’d expect. It has the same stats as the metal helmet, as well as the same recipe. It’s unlocked fairly deep into blacksmithing progression.

I suggest wearing a neck cover with it. I included a little chainmail neck piece in the model to disguise the masking of the player head, but it shouldn’t really clip with the neck protection already provided in the game.

here’s a screenshot taken in blender to show you what I mean.

I made this mod just because I really like the look of this thing and always have. It was fun modeling it too. I like the look of the metal which I achieved through baking a blurred HDRI into the texture. I would love to add a whole set of armor but that sounds like hell, frankly. At least right now, fresh off of developing this all day.
