A light helmet with an airtight visor intended for protection from anomalies. Judging by the design, the helmet is made by the same Defense Research Institutes as the SEVA bodysuit. Its intended use may very well be in combination with military suits for operations in highly anomalous areas.
― In-game description

The Screen helmet is a type of protective helmet featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

Overview

A high quality 'dome' helmet, similar to those worn on the SEVA suit. It features a closed-cycle respiratory system to prevent the user from breathing in dangerous radiation and chemical particals. However, the radiation and chemical threat prevention system is inactive and has to be added by a technician to allow it to switch to closed-cycle breathing.

The helmet was created by the same Defense Research Institutes as the SEVA suit, judging by the helmet's design. It is suggested it might have been designed to be used in tandem with military body armor for operations in highly anomalous areas.

Of all the helmets offered, it has the highest inherent anomalous and psi-emission protection, while being more durable than the Gas mask and the Steel helmet, making this helmet the ideal choice for any artifact hunter.

Acquisition

It is available for sale from Hawaiian after obtaining the achievement A Friend of Freedom. It is also sold by Owl after obtaining the achievement One of Ours.

A free Screen helmet is given by Topol to the player provided he and his team survived the Ecologists' questline. This requires the player to complete Intermittent psy-emissions and Anomaly research without a single casualty.

Upgrades

Trivia

• Despite the closed-cycle respiratory system, it doesn't allow the user protection from the Perin B3 nerve agent or the carbon dioxide chemical mixture released into the Jupiter Underground. The Screen helmet can be used in combination with many bodysuits, but these suits are not fully airtight, thus allowing the gas to come into contact with the skin and damaging the body.
