All New Helmets in No Man’s Sky

No Man’s Sky Worlds Part 1 update brings four new Helmets for the players to unlock. These helmets are for customizing a player’s character to give them a new unique look. All four new Helmets in No Man’s Sky are as follows.

• Brooding Skull
• The Hunter’s Jaws
• Bioluminescent Headpiece
• Brood Mother’s Maw

How to Unlock the New Helmets in No Man’s Sky

Unlocking all four new helmets will require players to defeat a new boss encounter against a new creature called Brood Mother. Brood Mother is a rare creature and can only be encountered by spawning it. To spawn the Brood Mother, follow these simple steps.

• Find a planet with Vile Brood detection.
• Land on the planet and pick up a Juicy Grub.
• Crush the Juicy Grub from your inventory to spawn Brood Mother.

NOTE: Read our complete guide on how to find Vile Brood and start the encounter with Brood Mother for more information.

Upon encountering Brood Mother, defeat her to have a chance of getting a new Helmet. However, the drop rate of the helmets is not guaranteed. It is best to grab as many Juicy Grubs to initiate the encounter repeatedly and unlock the helmets easily.
