Fancy new hats

Unread postby zeusch » 29 Mar 12, 7:48 am

all you need to do is spend lots of money and you can wear it for a day

The Per Diem Perk

Mister Reddy has prepared three absolutely unique one-of-a-kind hats that will rotate through the mercenary community every day. Who will get them? The three mercs who give the most gifts, win the most duels, and purchase the most map stamps on a given day. Presumably wearing these one-of-a-kind hats will make the winners feel like they've achieved something. Or not, I could give a damn. So long as they make you all better killing machines.

i guess $100 rings didnt make them enough cash......oh well time to start farming duel wins

I wouldn't even try getting the hats for the first couple of weeks. You'd be competing with all the crazy people who have hundreds of duelling pistols or are willing to spend a ridiculous amount of money.
Better chance in a couple of months when people have mostly gotten over it.

Good to see them still adding in more fun things!

i read the sarcasm :)

These sort of items aren't going to stop, strange weapons and these are all about increasing your bragging potential :) works well for people, i'm sure these hats will masssively increase mann co. sales for a bit which is what they are looking for, plus some people get to wear a new hat for a bit, which is kind of cool :)

I'm waiting for when they finish the current run through of weapons that they've turned into "strange" weapons and then bring out a new category for the weapons. Maybe the current strange weapons will take on "Vintage Strange" tag. :wink:

It's cruel to add the strange huntsman to the salvaged #40 crate.
And they removed crate #30 already! No chance of getting strange machina for cheap now. )):

People were initially saying s40 was the new salvaged crate, hence s30 not dropping (i saw one drop on sunday night though so not sure how recently that has stopped).

Apparently it was just a glitch that was causing s40 to not drop (41 and 42 drop fine) which has now been fixed, one of my clan mates said he saw this on steam forums i think.

good luck to you Mythor, I hope you get there, I want to see those kill counts :D

Well, the TF2 Wiki notes on patch updates listed #40 as salvaged. ):

I wish you luck too, Mythor. :P

I'm sticking to my Vintage Huntsman. :3

If these hats were awarded to people wper day FOR GOOD, it'd be a good addition, but as it stands, 24 hrs? that has "valve milking" written all over it.
