Aw, and they did so well! You should have given them all Gatorade and driven them to a pizza parlor for an after game party.Proven said:
I'll trade you my Strange Chargin' Targe if you want it. I need the Atomizer.Capt.Haddock said:
Also, I am looking for a "Hound Dog" hat for Heavy. I really want it! Anyone got one they are willing to trade? Willing to trade either Heavy Football Helmet or Towering Pillar of Hats for one.

I swear to god my brother has the best luck. So he bought six keys for the hell of it. Opened up six crates, got a Honcho's Headgear with Purple energy, which was so rare that he traded it for 18 pairs of Earbuds.

That's why I haven't spent a dime in the store. Once you do, the temptation to buy more is that much higher.

This is the same guy who used his Christmas Key and got the Milkman hat, which was literally exactly what he was hoping for.Dechaios said:

Also, Badwater in the map room you can get up to red spawn.
and Hoodoo 1 (I think) on defense you can get up on the right side that leads to the first capture point.
I played with it a lot last night and despite the lousy jump, I was still having fun with it... I like it a lot more then the stock flare gun. Seems like you use a detonator/axetinguisher combo like the jarate/bushwacker... just need more practice.

They did a nice job, considering all that. lolProven said:

The only thing I could see myself buying is paint, but I've yet to even do that.

I bought the Team Captain, since it is the only hat that I gave a damn enough to buy it. Now, if they pull out a Mario Hat, I'll bite again.
Can someone explain the strange weapon thing to me... slowly... with small words...
You don't use a key on a weapon right? cuss that doesn't make sense. You unbox them from any crate? or only certain ones? do the crate descriptions say that they contain strange weapons? And then you level them up by getting kills with them but it doesn't actually change anything?

He's going to use 8-10 of the buds to get two unusuals for himself, and sit on the rest, maybe find a way to safely trade for cash at a later time. He offered to get me one as well, but I don't care enough about unusual, so I'm just going to take advantag....er, ask him for a single earbuds worth of regular hats. Which is still like...13 hats.

If a Level 19 and upwards crate's description lists weapons, then if you get a weapon, it will be a Strange Weapon.EasyTGT said:
Getting kills with these will add to the kill count in their description, and at certain kill counts the weapon's prefix will change to higher ranks: http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/List_of_strange_weapon_ranks
EasyTGT said:
Any weapon that comes out of crate series 19, 20, or 21 will be a "strange" weapon. You can see which strange weapons are possible by looking at the list of possible weapons on the crate tooltip.
Strange weapons record the kills you make with that weapon, and the name of it changes as you reach certain numbers of kills.

why are buds worth so much?The_Technomancer said:
..and I can theoretically trade my set for hats?
edit: also, any value for a Strange Natasha (which is now a Mildly Menacing Natasha)?

They're a promo hat and they were actually semi-difficult to get (since you had to own a Mac at the time of Mac release to get them) so they're kind of the next level currency beyond Refined metal. And yeah, you could probably get a lot of hats for them, you just have to be careful.Dreams-Visions said:
Limited time offer from when TF2 came to Macs. You could only get one if you logged in on a Mac at any time during the release weekend (someone here on GAF helped a bunch of people out). Many PC users cried. Also, it's an Apple product.Dreams-Visions said:
So your brother is now TF2 rich. The bastard.The_Technomancer said:

I don't know a lot, but I believe there are dedicated forums out there. Better then just a trade server anyway.thefil said:

Many, MANY young folks at that. Most of them sound like 14-15 years old.Nabs said:

fascinating. I'm kinda new to the item hustle, but I felt like I saw so many people with buds that week (I also have a pair from my Mac) that I didn't think of them as semi-rare. Makes sense now. I'll be on the lookout for good deals, as there are definitely some other things I'd like to have.Proven said:

Has the drop rate been weird for anyone else? Played about an hour today and idled for a bit, got nothing. Only got about 4 or 5 drops since the update.

Ya,i think it is broken.I idled for 5 hours,got 3 crate,and a direct hit.Grimm Fandango said:
Wow!! Those are really rare. I am very jealous. If you cared you could easily start trading up to an unusual hat(shiny effect hat)...thefil said:
Sounds like you aren't even trying and you're more well off than I am, lol.. well here is my backpack just look it over sometime and tell me if something interests you maybe.

I just thought of something, what happens if you name a strange weapon? I guess it would lose it's prefix, but does that mean it stops going up in rank? Or if you name it, and then it ranks up, do you lose the original name? In theory you could just name your weapon "Hale's Own Minigun" to fool everyone.

I got some crates #18/19 if one wants them.
What can I get from a Tyrant's Helm? I want to get rid of that crap. Or if anyone wants to trade it for a Scout/Sniper hat, would be better.

Well, I've been playing on and off (more on than off) since the Heavy update. I got the medal because I follow the blog pretty obsessively (I really like the "mythos") and got the earbuds because I, well, own a Mac.

As you can see, in terms of actual drops and items though I'm quite poor. I never idle (not a fan of it on principle) and mostly just save up to craft metal into hats.
*edit* And I gave one of my hats to my girlfriend, so I'm actually down one.
Eviction Notice is powerful, but only with random crits. Melee still has a higher crit rate than guns, and now you have a faster chance to get them, plus the increased rate of punches will keep your crit rate up high enough. If you can sneak in with the Buffalo Steak it's even better I think. Use it primarily while getting caught off guard or out of ammo right after a fight and be amazed.
From playing Thursday night, I noticed that if you renamed a Kritzkreig to something like "Time To Die!" then when someone's spectating you or getting healed it'll read as "Medigun(Time to Die!)". So naming a strange gun as "Hale's Own Minigun" may make it come out as "Hale's Own Hale's Own Minigun".Forkball said:

Series 19 is where the strange weapons start, right? If so, I'd trade you some other crates or some scrap or misc weapons for the 19 crates.Sgt.Pepper said:
thanks for the baby steps walk through for the strange weapons.
Also, if that was the medic update then I can't wait for the pyro update. Save the best for last, it's got to be epic-- Armageddon, the world is burning ect... can't wait for 2015 when that comes out.
edit: they need to add an option to not see the server alerts that need you to press K
edit edit: they should just have it show up in text the same way cheese mints do

I think there is a way to disable popups in Advanced Options.

Been playing for an hour or so. So much better than the 360 version, it's nuts.
Is there anyway to get the PS3 controller working with it? I have the controller hooked up via motionjoy, but I can't look around with the right stick, and the left stick turns and walks at he same time. I don't think any buttons work either.
