How to get hats in SteamWorld Heist 2
From player characters to NPCs, practically every character in SteamWorld Heist 2 wears a hat. Shooting a hat off an enemy’s head will allow you to pick it up and keep it forever as long as you complete the mission. Enemies can knock your hats off, but you’ll get them back at the end of a stage.
You can also obtain hats by purchasing them in shops throughout the open seas, and a select few hats are obtained for completing missions. Need even more hats? Every Crewmember you recruit also comes with a free unique hat. There’s a lot of hats.
