Headless Costume Skin — Detailed Guide
Lose the head, keep the helmet
The Headless Costume, named Headless Costume Skin in ARK: Survival Evolved, is a headgear skin in ASE and ARK: Survival Ascended. Worn over a helmet or hat, it makes the survivor look as though there is no head at all. The in-game description jokes: "You can use this to skin the appearance of a helmet or hat. Because some days you just can't get a head. Non-human creatures adamantly refuse to wear this."
Crafting the costume
The ARK Wiki ties the skin to ARK: Fear Evolved 3, with 300.0 as the version that added it. It is crafted in a 
Cooking Pot from:
- 30
Pumpkin - 20
Dinosaur Bone
Crafting takes 5 seconds, yields one skin and gives 30 XP.
Side effects noted on the wiki
The wiki records two quirks. On PS4 and Xbox the skin cuts away a bit of the survivor's neck; on PC this has not been tested. The other one: with no head showing, a survivor can stay behind cover without the head poking out and shoot at someone without being seen.
Weight
The skin weighs 0 and stacks to 1, so it adds nothing to the inventory load.
