While you might be a gaming fashionista, showing off every new aesthetically pleasing armor piece you pick up, there are times when you just want to see your character’s face.
Some games opt for a hide helmet system where you’re able to equip a strong bit of kit and receive the benefits, but not have to see it every minute you play.
If you’re wondering whether Crimson Desert goes down this route or just leaves you with all armor on display, we’ve got all you need to know.
Can you hide helmet in Crimson Desert?
Even though some RPGs do offer you the chance of hiding your helmet, Crimson Desert sadly does not allow you to do so.
Cutscenes will also show whatever helmet you have equipped, too, which is even more of a kick in the teeth, as you might want to engage more with the story by seeing Kliff and co. ‘s facial expressions.
This is the more ‘FromSoftware’ approach, but maybe with a few additional voice lines since your character is essentially mute in its games, meaning it doesn’t have too much of a detrimental effect on story beats.
The only saving grace is that you can essentially hotswap your helmet on and off via the quick menu to simulate hiding it.
If you hold left on your D-pad or the assigned button on mouse and keyboard, you’ll bring up the quick menu where you equip and unequip your helmet.
You’ll obviously lose what bonuses you have when not on, but it could be a nice little workaround when you’re anticipating a cutscene, or are simply enjoying the Pywel atmosphere, potentially doing a little fishing.
Who knows, later down the road, we might see Pearl Abyss introduce a hide helmet option in an update, but for now, we’re unfortunately stuck with the above.
