Key Points
- There is no hide helmet toggle currently available in the game.
- Helmet visibility is tied directly to the gear you equip.
- The only way to remove it visually is by unequipping it, which sacrifices stats.
In a lot of modern RPGs, hiding your helmet is almost a standard feature. You get to keep your stats while still seeing your character’s face during exploration or cutscenes. So naturally, when I jumped into Crimson Desert, this was one of the first customization options I looked for, and surprisingly, it’s not there. But can you hide the helmet using other ways? Read on below to find out.
How to Hide Helmet in Crimson Desert?
The short answer is – No, you cannot hide your helmet. As of the current available information on Crimson Desert, there is no direct, toggleable hide helmet option in the standard settings menu for armor. Furthermore, the helmet will remain visible even during cutscenes if you have equipped it.
Helmet visibility is tied to the specific gear equipped. That means if you want to hide the helmet, you unfortunately would have to unequip it from your Armor wheel.
If you want to unequip the helmet, follow the steps given below:
- Open your Armour wheel using the left D-pad on a controller or by pressing the T Key on PC.
- Once open, you can use the arrow keys on PC or LT or RT on the controller to toggle between helmets and also unequip them.
- You can follow the same process to unequip other Armour parts as well.
Once removed, your character’s appearance updates instantly, including during cutscenes. Also, you can follow the same process to unequip other armor pieces if you want a more customized look. While you may unequip your helmet, do remember that doing so will make you vulnerable to attacks.
I tried playing without a helmet for a while just to see how it felt, and visually, it definitely improves gameplay. So while there’s no official confirmation yet from the developers, based on how common this feature is in other RPGs, there’s a good chance it could be added in a future update.
