Notes[]
- The weakest variant of these three (wide face opening) is the only head chainmail in the game requiring strength.
- Used to be sold by the Blacksmith of Rattay in earlier version of the game, likely removed in the same patch as Bandit's reinforced jack and Bandit's plate jack.
- Historical Accuracy: Standalone mail coifs such as represented in Kingdom Come: Deliverance were rather uncommon by the early 15th century as they provide poor protection without reinforcement. Instead, these are most likely supposed to represent aventails, which were integrated directly to the helmet as seen in several plate helmets already in-game. They were likely kept separate to support the multi-layered clothing system and the various open faced helmets which are equally likely to feature a mail aventail or none at all.
