Pincushion Helmet is a Tier 6 Unique headpiece in Dune: Awakening, engineered with an experimental plasmeld gel layer that absorbs dart impacts. Early prototypes left wearers bristling with embedded darts — hence the name — but the final version delivers reliable mitigation against projectile-heavy builds.
“In the earliest versions, the darts would stick in the gel-like outer layer, leaving the wearer bristling with darts like a pincushion. Though that flaw has been perfected, the name persists."
This Tier 6 Unique garment offers balanced mitigation, stamina efficiency, and heat protection — ideal for PvP survival and dart-heavy encounters. (Volume: 1.0V)
