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.
