'''Ellis' Cap''' is a new unlockable [[Hats|headwear]] item. It's a reference to the hat worn by [http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/Ellis Ellis], a character from Valve's zombie shooter franchise, ''Left 4 Dead 2''. It is still unknown how this hat is obtained, but it is very possible that it will be unlocked when obtaining an achievement, like the [[Alien Swarm Parasite]], in ''Left 4 Dead 2'' related to The Sacrifice DLC arriving on October 5th. However, none of the announced achievements mentioned hats at all. It may come from completing The Sacrifice, as there is an achievement for that, called "The Supreme Sacrifice". Otherwise, there is no idea on how this could be earned at this time.

'''Ellis' Cap''' is a [[Promotional items|promotional]] [[Cosmetic items|cosmetic item]] for [[Classes|all classes]]. It is based on the cap worn by [[l4d:Ellis|Ellis]] from the video game ''[[Left 4 Dead 2]]''; a white and team-colored [[w:Baseball cap|baseball cap]] featuring a [[w:Tow truck|tow truck]] {{botignore|patch}}.

*However, the path to the hat materials is "root/TF2/materials/models/items/player/items/scout", so it is strange why it's a "all-class" hat.

*Ellis from ''Left 4 Dead 2'' seemingly makes a comment in the game about how a situation he was in was similar to [[Team Fortress 2]]. That voice line was likely to have been added because of the popular fan-made custom campaign based on Team Fortress 2's [[Badwater Basin]], and at first was speculated that it was merely a case of good voice splicing.

*There are several rumors that this hat might be linked to new achievements  in the upcoming L4D/L4D2 expansion 'The Sacrifice'. Ironically, the Sacrifice has little to do with Ellis, just as [[Bill's Hat]] came from pre-ordering L4D2, which (at the time) had little to do with Bill.
