Federation Exo Helmet Skin — Detailed Guide
A skin from the Federation Exo Armor set
The Federation Exo Helmet Skin changes the look of a helmet or hat, and our records hold it for both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The in-game description: "You can use this to skin the appearance of a helmet or hat. Looks like a genuine Terran Federation tek-reinforced exo-helmet!" The ARK Wiki places it in the Genesis: Part 2 DLC, as one piece of the Federation Exo Armor Skins set, added in patch 323.6.
Unlocking it through Explorer Notes
According to the wiki, the skin is earned by finding 5 mysterious new Explorer Notes, Genesis 2 Chronicles #21 to #25, located in Genesis: Part 1. Two conditions apply: the Genesis Season Pass is needed to obtain the Federation Exo Armor Skins, and the notes cannot be discovered unless the HLNA skin is equipped.
Helmet modes and the visor overlay
Holding a button opens the helmet modes: R on PC, X on Xbox and Square on PS4/5. Unlike most skins, the Federation Exo Armor Skins can go on any armor piece, Tek Armor included. This was also the first skin with its own FPV overlay. On armor that already brings an overlay, such as the 
Tek Helmet, 
Gas Mask or 
Hazard Suit Hat, the armor's overlay is shown instead of the skin's.
The wiki adds that the Terran Federation logo sits on the visor in game, even though the concept art does not show it, and that the set imitates the Federation Exo Armor from Genesis: Part 2. In ASE the skin weighs 0, and it has a stack size of 1.
