ItemsDead Rails

Overview[1]

Lincoln's Ghost Top Hat is an equippable added in the Presidential Update. It resembles the look of the Lincoln's Top Hat and has the same transparency and green color like a Ghost Train. It's obtained by killing the Lincoln's Ghost boss. Whens a player equip it, it will takes place in the player's head, so they won't be able to equip either the Helmet or the Mining Helmet as these also takes place on their head. In exchange for that, for every 2 minutes, 3 passive Zombie Soldiers (maximum) will spawn and fight for the player.

Strategy

If you are going out to raid a POI, remove a Helmet or Mining Helmet and equip the hat. If you have the Pestilence Horse, you can have more allies and revive the allies that died.

Trivia

This is the first equippable piece that can spawn/affect physical objects. Although having the same transparency and green color, resembling that of the Ghost Train and the Spirits. It instead spawns Zombie Soldiers instead of reviving the enemies you kill or simply, the Soldier's Spirits, which is a more logical option for the hat instead. This is also the first equippable piece that works according to the number of enemies nearby ( Or in this case, Allies ).
