The Chitin Helmet is an armor piece crafted from chitin harvested from insects. It provides physical damage reduction and is one of the earlier helmet options available to players, requiring basic crafting materials.
Spawn it directly using its item ID 29 with the GiveItem command, or use its GFI code 29 if you prefer the gfi syntax. Since it has a numeric ID, both methods work equally well on any map.
