Before diving into the techniques, it’s important to understand how hats work in SteamWorld Heist 2:

  • Not all enemies wear hats
  • You can only collect one of each hat type
  • Hats must be picked up after being shot off
  • Successfully collecting a hat requires completing the mission

There are two main methods to shoot hats off from enemies:

Aim For the Hat

The most reliable way to obtain a hat is to aim for the hat itself, avoiding damage to the enemy. This method requires careful aim but has the highest success rate. It’s best accomplished using units with aiming lines, such as snipers.

Headshot Attempts

Scoring a headshot on an enemy has a chance of knocking their hat off. However, this method is riskier as it may destroy the hat in the process.

Tips for Successful Hat Collection

  • Focus on larger hats first, as they’re easier targets
  • Use units with precise aiming abilities
  • Be patient and take your time lining up shots
  • Remember that collecting hats may require sacrificing a turn of damage

Once you’ve successfully shot off a hat, it’s crucial to pick it up by moving a unit onto its location. After completing the mission, the hat will be added to your inventory.

You can access and equip hats through the menu, allowing you to customize your crew’s appearance. Check out the complete hats list to help you find what you are looking for.

Can You Lose Your Hat in SteamWorld Heist 2?

It’s worth noting that your own bots’ hats can be shot off during combat. Don’t worry – these hats aren’t lost and will remain in your inventory even if you don’t pick them up during the mission.

Conclusion

Mastering the art of shooting hats off enemies in SteamWorld Heist 2 adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the game. With practice and patience, you’ll soon build an impressive collection of hats to customize your crew.

Remember to focus on precision, use the right units, and always prioritize mission success. Happy hat hunting!
