A decoy is usually a person, device, or event meant as a distraction, to conceal what an individual or a group might be looking for. Decoys have been used for centuries most notably in game hunting, but also in wartime and in the committing or resolving of crimes. When pertaining to military deception, dummies and decoys are fake military equipment that are intended to deceive the enemy.

Battlefield 1
The Helmet Decoy is a gadget featured in Battlefield 1 for the Scout kit. It allows the player to place up to three decoys which are essentially fake heads on top of stakes. In order to be more believable, decoys give off a Scope Glint when looked at by enemy players. They may also adjust their height accordingly when placing in order to better hide their stakes. If enemy players do fall for the decoy and manage to hit it, however, it will cause them to be 3D highlighted to reveal their location to the entire enemy team, similar to the effect of the Tracer Dart Gun.
