The '''Rimmed Raincatcher''' is an unlockable [[hats|headwear item]] for the [[Demoman]]. It has a similar shape to the [[Tippler's Tricorne]], except the brims are larger, have a golden strip at their rim, and are team-colored on the outside. It can be obtained via [[Crafting]], but cannot be placed into the backpack because it is not correctly implemented in the game files (It's not listed in the Mann Co. Catalogue).

* The hat was accidentally included in the [[Mann-Conomy Update]] in two ways: Firstly, its model files accidentally overwrote those of the [[Tippler's Tricorne]], leading players to believe that they were simply 'updating the design', due to the clear similarity between the two hats. Secondly, it became possible to earn the hat by attempting a normal hat-crafting recipe, but in its incomplete state [http://www.tf2items.com/id/Thundermanz?time=1286023577 it cannot be placed in the backpack], and therefore can't be used until it's properly implemented. Both bugs have been acknowledged by [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=17167307#post17167307 Valve] and [http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?p=25197678 the hat's creator], with the promise that with the following update, the [[Tippler's Tricorne]] would return to normal and the Rimmed Raincatcher would be implemented correctly.

Trivia

  • With the Mann-Conomy Update's release, an asset managing error occurred. This caused the Rimmed Raincatcher's model and texture to replace those of the Tippler's Tricorne. After noticing the error, Valve decided to add the Rimmed Raincatcher as a separate item and it was added to the item drop system, but not yet added to the game files. Due to this, any player that managed to find the Raincatcher from a hat drop, or crafting result, would have an "Unknown Item" displayed in one of the online backpack viewers. This was shortly resolved as part of the October 6, 2010 Patch, which restored the Tippler's Tricorne to its original model and texture and added the Rimmed Raincatcher as a separate item to the game files.
  • This hat is commonly known to build up and redirect rain water from the wearer's face, as the name suggests.
