The Hero's Hachimaki is a promotional headwear item for the Soldier. It is a team-colored headband featuring a white circle and star design in the center. The Soldier wears the Hero's Hachimaki over his eyes, a design styled after the feature character of the game Homefront.

This item was awarded, in Genuine quality, to players who pre-purchased Homefront on Steam before March 15, 2011. Further availability of this item is unknown at this time.

Homefront is currently unavailable for pre-purchase in the United Kingdom. Any attempt to pre-purchase it will display an error. According to an e-mail from Robin Walker, Valve is considering ways to ensure players from the UK can obtain the item.
