Trivia

  • A Template:W is a soldier who specializes in handling grenades and other explosives.
  • Also known as a Template:W or patrol cap, it is usually worn by military personnel in the field when a combat helmet is not required.
  • An early concept of the hat reveals that it was originally camouflaged and had an orange-and-black skull emblem attached to the front left side.
  • The hat has the same style as an M43 German field cap used in the '40s. This would coincide with the history of the Soldier that places him being in Germany during that time implying that this might be a war trophy or souvenir that he picked up.
