The Soldier

The Spiral Sallet (/'spaɪræl/ /'sælɪt/ speye-ral sal-it) is an unlockable promotional headwear item originally exclusive to the Soldier, but made available to all classes in the September 6, 2011 Patch. It is a medieval knight's Template:W war helmet decorated with team-colored paint and a fluffy plume. The design of this hat is identical to all classes, except the Demoman and Heavy, which have the hat's bevor removed.

The Spiral Sallet is awarded to players who complete the Spiral Knights achievement Mission Accomplished.

Bugs

  • This hat clips with the Scout's back when taunting and the Soldier's back when in the default stance for the Rocket Launcher. It also clips with the Scout's headphones in the loadout screen.
  • There are some minor clipping issues with the Lord Cockswain's Novelty Mutton Chops and Pipe, the Camera Beard and the Big Steel Jaw of Summer Fun.
  • Even if launched through Steam, the player will only receive Steam achievements (and therefore this hat) if logged in using Steam as opposed to a Spiral Knights account or Sega Pass account.

Trivia

  • The description refers to knights in Template:W, which move by "jumping" over other pieces in an L formation.
  • The Spiral Sallet is named after the eponymous hat from Spiral Knights, though it bears more resemblance to the Mighty Cobalt Helm.
  • Owning Team Fortress 2 and completing the tutorial grants a Spiral Knights in-game message from Saxton Hale, and upon completing the Mission Accomplished achievement, a complimentary message from Mr. Reddy.
  • A Template:W has a very pronounced neck plate at the back, and very rarely features a hinged visor. The Spiral Sallet more closely resembles a Template:W style helmet.
