How to hide helmet in Dune Awakening

Imagine spending an hour in the character creator, only to have your character’s beautiful face hidden by an ugly but necessary helmet. This is the impression you might get in Dune: Awakening, but it doesn’t have to be this way. You can still evade sandworms without obscuring your face.

Here is how you can hide your helmet in Dune: Awakening and show off your character if you want to.

How to hide your helmet in Dune Awakening

To hide your helmet or any headgear in Dune: Awakening, you need to adjust one of the game’s settings, and here are the steps to achieve that:

• Open settings from either the main menu or from the pause menu.
• In the first tab, which is “Gameplay“, scroll down until you see the “Show Helmet” option.
• Set this to “No” and confirm changes.

After confirming the changes, the helmet will be hidden, and your character’s face will be visible during gameplay and cutscenes.

Now, if you find a helmet that you like and think it’s worth hiding your face for, then you can toggle the helmet option back to “Yes” to show it again. Similarly, if you don’t love how your character looks in the first place, then keeping this option enabled may be the way to go.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the headgear or helmet item will not be displayed in the character menu either. It will show in the equipped slot, but not on the character, just like regular gameplay. So, make sure to double-check what you have equipped before swapping it for something else.

Does hiding helmet have a shortcut in Dune Awakening?

No, you can’t use a keybind to hide the helmet in Dune: Awakening, and it can only be done through the gameplay settings tab.

It’s a bit tedious, and I would love if the developers added an additional binding to hide and unhide the helmet, because I wager players will be using it a lot, as customization is a big part of any MMO. Speaking of customization, make sure to get a few neat decoration items for free with Twitch.
