'''Miscellaneous items''' (commonly abbreviated as '''Misc. items''') are wearable items with their own 'Misc' section in the [[loadout]] screen, though they count as headgear for [[crafting|crafting purposes]]. Like [[hats]], they have no effect on gameplay and exist for cosmetic purposes only. As they occupy their own equipment slot, they can be worn in conjunction with [[hats]]. Misc. items are either unlocked through achieving certain requirements, or [[Item drop system#Current Item Drop System|dropped]] during in-game playtime.
 
 
 
In total, there are 13 misc. items, with only four classes as of yet possessing their own specific items.
 
 
 
== History ==
 
* '''[[August 13, 2009 Patch|The Classless Update]]'''
 
:The first misc. item, the [[Soldier]]'s [[Gentle Manne's Service Medal]], is added to the game. The medal is awarded to the first 11,111 users who stumbled upon a hidden page on the Team Fortress blog, with each medal featuring a unique number. The medal cannot currently be obtained.
 
 
 
*'''[[December 17, 2009 Patch|WAR! Update]]'''
 
:The [[Camera Beard]] hat for the [[Spy]] becomes a misc. item, allowing it to be worn with other hats for the class. This increases its drop rate to that of normal weapons, resulting in a loss of its rare value and a significant increase in the amount of players that own it.
 
 
 
*'''[[March 18, 2010 Patch|March 18, 2010]]'''
 
:The first set of community hats from Valve's Contribute! site are patched in, along with a new misc. item for the Medic, the [[Physician's Procedure Mask]].  The [[Camera Beard]]'s drop rate is restored to the same drop rate as normal hats.  Misc. items can now be used along with hats in the Rebuild Headgear recipe.
 
 
 
*'''The [[April 29, 2010 Patch|119th Update]]'''
 
:The [[Grizzled Veteran]], [[Soldier of Fortune]] and [[Mercenary]] medals are awarded to players depending on the date of their first play. They are the first misc. items that can be equipped by all classes. These medals are Gold, Silver, and Bronze in appearance respectively.
 
 
 
*'''[[May 5, 2010 Patch|May 5, 2010]]'''
 
:The [[Primeval Warrior]] medal is awarded to all players who participated in the original beta release of Team Fortress 2, with the medals of those eligible being changed accordingly. These medals are Platinum in appearance.
 
 
 
*'''[[May 21, 2010 Patch|May 21, 2010]]'''
 
:The [[Whiskered Gentleman]] hat for the Pyro is reassigned to the Misc. slot, so that it may be worn with other hats.
 
 
 
*'''The [[June 10, 2010 Patch|Mac Update]]'''
 
:The [[Earbuds]] are awarded to players who launched TF2 on a Mac between June 10, 2010 and June 14, 2010.
 
 
 
* '''June 28th, 2010'''
 
:A Greentooth (Polycount icon) pin is revealed by Polycount as a misc item available to community members who submitted entries for the [[Polycount Pack]] contest. The item was contributed by Polycount member DKK and was expected to be released alongside the Polycount Pack.  It was released well before, however.
 
 
 
*''' The [[Engineer Update]]'''
 
:A second Misc. slot is added, though no items have been released for the slot as of yet.
 
 
 
*'''August 9th, 2010'''
 
:Four medals are revealed for the [[ETF2L Highlander Community Challenge|ETF2L Highlander Tournament]]: first place, second place, third place, and participant.
 
 
 
*'''[[Mann-Conomy Update]]'''
 
:The second Misc. slot is removed and is replaced by an Action slot.  Four badges are available by playing the [[Dueling Mini-Game]] and winning duels.  The [[Polycount Pin]] is also added. Other "miscellaneous items" are added but don't go into the Misc. slot, including the [[Paint Can]]s and the [[Mann Co. Supply Crate]] and it's sister item, the [[Mann Co. Supply Crate Key]]. These are called [[Tool]] items.

Because of the special nature of most Misc. items, they are generally incompatible with the [[crafting|crafting system]]. Most of them cannot be crafted into other items, or crafted themselves from other items. The exceptions are Misc. items that can be found in-game through the [[item drop system]]. These items are treated exactly the same as hats. Meaning they can be crafted using any blueprints that may create a hat, or used in place of a hat in blueprints that require a hat. These are the current Misc. items that function as hats, in order of their addition to the game:
 
 
 
* [[Camera Beard]]
 
* [[Physician's Procedure Mask]]
 
* [[Whiskered Gentleman]]
 
 
 
These items are considered hats, but they are placed in the miscellaneous slot because they don't take up space on top of the head. This is to allow players with these items to wear them at the same time as a traditional hat.
 
 
 
A rumor existed that a Misc. Slot Token appeared for crafting purposes soon after the [[Camera Beard]] was reassigned to the Misc. slot.  The rumor told that someone could craft four camera beards together to earn this token. It was later said that a Misc. slot token could be combined with a Soldier token to craft the Gentle Manne's Service Medal. This is false. There are still some unused slot tokens in the crafting system, but again, the Misc. token does not exist.
