Its been annoying me that im now 3 ranks into the legion as a Praefect and im still stuck with the same crappy Heavy Helmet i got from the smith when i first joined up. Its bugged and messes up the 'Well Fitted' perk for heavy armor. Ive also seen two other helmets, one with black feathers and the other an officer helmet that Rikke wears. Do i ever get new equipment as i rise in rank? And if not, where can i get these other helmets? Im not sure if theres different heavy armor either, being that uesp doesnt have much info at all about this

I've found officer equipment now for both sides, but that was awhile back and I can't recall where I got them. Sorry Just keep playing and looking around is my advice.

I got some Imperial Officer's equipment off of some bandits SE of Riften.

There's a Shrine to Talos in the mountains next to Froki's shack. It has the Imperial Officer's Helmet that seems like the Spartan variety. The other kind you'll find from looters or bandits pretending to be Legion soldiers.

You only get the armour you started with. You only get awarded with swords and basic armour, not legion armour.

An NPC in the bottom of the Dwemer ruin of Alftand left his helmet in a backpack near an elevator entrance in a torture room.
You could restart the game and follow the Stormcloak start, if you really want one bad enough.

I figure there must be a normal way to get this without having to start over. Ive found the Officer Helm at a fort, but im still looking for the other

Just a quick note, the spartan style helmet is not an Officer's helmet. It is simply listed as Imperial Helmet, but it is in the Heavy Armor category. I would wear that until you reach Legate, then switch to the Officer's variant.

I love that thing.




Find Froki's shack and head up the mountain path you see as you exit the shack. There is also one near an adventurer in Aftland as well.

Yeah... Thats what i was talking about.. I was searching all over for that helmet
