	Area 451; Level 1 - 100 Hat; If aliens ever invaded Badlands and used their special alien powers to make all of our heads look like alien heads, this is a scientifically accurate representation of what Pyro would look like. We tried doing similar mock-ups with the rest of the TF team, but we finished one of Heavy and haven't stopped crying and vomiting long enough to do the other ones.

The Area 451 is a promotional cosmetic item for the Pyro. It is a bobbing mask that resembles a stereotypical Grey alien.

The Area 451 was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered XCOM: Enemy Unknown before October 9, 2012.

[Undocumented] The Area 451 is now tradable, craftable, and able to be used in crafting.

This hat's name is derived from the urban legend of Area 51, where alien spacecrafts and technology are allegedly held.
The number 451 is the Fahrenheit temperature at which book-paper catches fire and burns; inspired by Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451. The protagonist in this book is a Fireman, who burns illegal books for a living. The number 451 serves as a symbol on the Firemen's helmets.
