The common bascinet is an armour item in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and is categorized as a helmet.

Description

The bascinet is a popular type of open helmet with low sides that cover the ears and part of the neck. It is often fitted with a chainmail aventail covering the back of the neck, and a visor.

How to Obtain

• Sold by Blacksmith of Rattay
• Given for free as part of Keeping the Peace.
• In very easy chests in Talmberg castle's guard tower (accessible via the walkway) or the weapon storage on the nearby battlements (climb the stairs near the gate and make a right)

Worn by

• Ulrich of Passau
• Sigismund of Luxembourg (in cutscenes)
• Archery master of Merhojed
• Worn by Sasau Guard's.

Notes

• Historical Accuracy. The bascinet in Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a hybrid between the more common hinged visor and the German-style klappvisor. Historically, a bascinet would only have one style of fitting for the visor as the other would be redundant - here both are present as this helmet's in-game model forms the base for both the hounskull and bascinet with klappvisor, each of which uses a different mounting method. It should also be noted that the item in-game does not follow the shape of an authentic bascinet, where the helmet is shaped to follow the shape of the skull. The helmet in-game takes the form that is common for modern lower quality reproductions, where the sides go straight down to allow a more general fit.
