Clicking the movie reel button on the bottom allows the player to switch to the taunt menu where they can equip any [[Taunts#Special taunts|special taunt]] they have in their inventory to a maximum of 8 at once. Pressing the toolbox next to it brings it back to the regular loadout. Pressing the taunt key {{DK|G|link=no}} while having a taunt equipped brings up a taunt HUD, which allows the player to select a taunt to use.
  
When a player changes their loadout mid-game, any changes made to the current class's loadout will only take immediate effect if the player is in the spawn area. Otherwise, they will not take effect until the player either [[respawn]]s, or touches a resupply locker.

The customize items menu

The customize items menu is a section of the main menu UI in Team Fortress 2 that gives access to the loadout, backpack, crafting, Mann Co. Catalog, trading, and War Paint sub-menus. The manage items menu also displays the player's personal statistics and high scores on the stats page. The manage items menu can be accessed from the "Items" button on the main menu screen, however, the default key M (or the command open_charinfo_direct) loads the menu directly when inside a server.

Functions

By clicking any of the nine class portraits, the player is taken to the loadout of the respective class. The five icons along the bottom – Backpack, Crafting, Mann Co. Catalog, Trading, and War Paints – take the player to those submenus.

Loadout and Taunt slots

An example of the loadout screen.

The loadout menu enables the player to equip items and taunts for use with the nine classes.

The left of the loadout screen features the player's selections for primary, secondary, and melee weapons. The Spy's loadout screen positions the secondary and melee slots in place of the primary and secondary respectively. The Engineer and Spy's loadout menus also include a fourth slot for the Construction PDA and Sapper (PDA) respectively. The right four slots consist of three slots for cosmetic items and one for action items.

Clicking the movie reel button on the bottom allows the player to switch to the taunt menu where they can equip any special taunt they have in their inventory to a maximum of 8 at once. Pressing the toolbox next to it brings it back to the regular loadout. Pressing the taunt key (default key: G) while having a taunt equipped brings up a taunt HUD, which allows the player to select a taunt to use.

Mousing over any of the slots for items displays the statistics and description pertaining to the item, in a similar format to the backpack. This information (and more) can also be seen at any time in the Mann Co. Catalog without having to own the item. At the bottom of the menu, the player's net attributes from their equipped items are shown as an overview.

When a player changes their loadout mid-game, any changes made to the current class's loadout only take immediate effect if the player is in the spawn area by default. Otherwise, they do not take effect until the player either respawns, or touches a resupply locker.

Backpack

Main article: Backpack
Backpack case.png

The backpack is a player's personal inventory, allowing for storage for all in-game items. Items are kept in individual slots and can be viewed, moved, customized or deleted from within the backpack interface. The backpack is divided into pages, with each page displaying 50 items. The backpack can be automatically sorted by quality, type, class or loadout slot.

Crafting

Main article: Crafting
Crafting anvil.png

Crafting is a process that allows players to combine items they have in their backpacks into new items. Through specific crafting blueprints, more desired outcomes can be obtained, such as crafting a specific weapon through its designated blueprint. It should be noted that not all items can be used as an ingredient, nor can all items be obtained as an outcome.

Mann Co. Catalog

Main article: Mann Co. Catalog
Catalog book.png

The Mann Co. Catalog contains a listing of (almost) every item in the game, allowing for a quick lookup of item appearances, statistics and descriptions. It also displays a button leading to the listing of an item in the Mann Co. Store (if available), and a link to the item's page on the Team Fortress Wiki is displayed as well.

Trading

Main article: Trading
Trading parcel.png

The trading submenu allows a player to exchange items with other players directly through Steam friends, current server players, or a Steam Community URL. However, this feature is partially disabled for all free to play players; they can receive items in a trade initiated by another player and can only trade items away that have been received through trading.

War Paints

Main article: War Paint
War Paint icon.png

The War Paints submenu allows a player to preview every War Paint available for every applicable weapon. The menu contains drop-down menu for each War Paint, a drop-down menu for each weapon a given War Paint can be applied to, and a slider to change the Wear of the War Paint – from Factory New to Battle Scarred –, as well as buttons to switch the team color. Additionally, it is possible to select the Randomize button, or set the seed manually, to preview the position of the texture applied to the weapon, though this is not available when redeeming War Paints. The player may also select the View on Market button to find the current weapon with the applied War Paint on the Steam Community Market.

Statistics

An example of the statistics screen.

The statistics tab opens up the best records and playtimes of the player. Statistics tracked include:

Drop-down boxes allow the player look at statistics for specific classes displayed as horizontal bar charts. A random tip is also displayed on this screen, but a new one can be forced by clicking the "Next Tip" button. These statistics can be reset by a button on the right (by doing this, progress in locked achievements is reset, but any unlocked achievements are not reset).
