'''Decorated''' [[item quality|quality]] is the item quality assigned weapons which are obtained from contracts and opening weapon cases.
 
−
This quality includes 6 forms of rarity: Civilian, Freelance, Mercenary, Commando, Assassin, and Elite. It also has a exterior quality, which ranges from Factory-New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. The exterior quality decreases from the perfect Factory-New, to the extremely worn Battle-Scarred. When equipping a weapon of this quality, the player can press the key bound to (+inspect) to play an interruptible animation which examines the weapon from multiple angles (only visible in First Person). Rarity and exterior factors are purely cosmetic, and do not effect gameplay whatsoever.
 
  
−
'''Decorated''' weapons unboxed from weapon cases have a chance to be [[Strange]], a rarer chance to be [[Unusual]], and an extremely rare chance to be both. The Strange variant adds a clock to the side of the weapon, meant to count kills, and the Unusual variant adds an effect to the weapon, typically at the end of, or on the barrel of the weapon. When the item is both [[Strange]] and [[Unusual]], both the clock and visual effects are included. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4ELEcRzbCA This video shows all of the current Unusual weapon effects.]
+
'''Decorated''' is an [[item quality]] assigned to [[weapons]] with special [[grade]] factors of design, varying levels of exterior wear, and possibly a [[Strange]] counter and/or [[Unusual]] effect. Decorated weapons were introduced in the [[Gun Mettle Update]].
  
−
== Gun Mettle Collections ==
+
Decorated weapons have what is essentially a cosmetic "skin", similar to [[Australium weapons]]. However, instead of Australium plating, Decorated quality weapons possess a layer of paint applied in a pattern, based on the Weapon Collection the particular weapon is found in. Decorated patterns differ in scale and rotation weapon to weapon, with portions of these patterns being randomized when the weapon is first awarded. As such, it is very rare to have two Decorated weapons with the exact same pattern.
  
−
'''All classes have at minimum one weapon per collection. Some classes have multiple weapons per collection.'''
+
A Decorated weapon's quality is classified under one of six levels of rarity, referred to as "Grades", with a separate ranking for exterior damage (referred to as "Wear") that applies to all grades.
  
−
'''The Teufort Weapon Collection''' is one of two weapon skin collections available from completing Contracts. It is collection of weapon skins with varying themes, but all centralized around [[Teufort (City)|Teufort]].
+
Decorated weapons can be obtained through various methods, including random drops following the completion of contracts, unboxing specific weapon cases, or generation through a [[War Paint]]. Decorated weapons and War Paints obtained from cases also have a chance of being [[Strange]], a rarer chance of being [[Unusual]], and a very rare chance to be both. Strange variants add a visible "Stat Clock" to the side of the weapon, which counts kills (or [[ÜberCharge]]s in the case of the [[Weapons#medicsecondary|Medi Guns]]).
  
−
'''The Craftsman Collection''' is the other of weapon two skin collections available from completing Contracts. It is a collections of skins focusing on a DIY-like project, having most guns painted in a way that makes them seem made from house-hold materials and/or fabrics. The team color variants mostly apply to materials with a plaid pattern.
+
Civilian Grade weapons (which are not found in Strange quality normally) can also have a Stat Clock applied to them using a [[Civilian Grade Stat Clock]] tool.
  
−
'''The Concealed Killer Weapon Collection''' is one of two weapon skin collections only available through opening weapon cases. To obtain one weapon with this skin, you must unbox a Concealed Killer Weapons Case. This collection focuses on Military style camouflage skins of varying colors.
+
Decorated weapons are purely cosmetic, and have no effect on gameplay.
  
−
'''The Powerhouse Collection''' is the other of weapon two skin collections only available though opening weapon cases. To obtain a weapon with this skin, you must open a Powerhouse Weapons Case. The primary focus of this collection is bright patterns, resembling electricity and power stations. All skins are linked to the map [[Powerhouse]].
+
Following the {{Patch name|12|22|2015}}, all Decorated items can now be festivized with the [[Festivizer]] tool.
 +
 
 +
When mouse-hovering over a Decorated weapon in the [[backpack]], a detailed window appears displaying a rotating 3D model of the weapon. This window also displays the weapon's grade and level of exterior wear, as well as a list of weapons found within the weapon's respective collection, with a check mark next to any that the player already owns. Choosing to inspect a Decorated weapon through this menu opens a larger window where the player can manually rotate the weapon model to see it from all angles.
 +
 
 +
In-game, the title text of Decorated weapons uses the associated color of their grade.
 +
 
 +
While in the Steam inventory, during trading, and on the Steam Community Market, the hexadecimal color code for Decorated weapons is {{Qcc|FAFAFA}} — a bright off-white — regardless of grade.
 +
 
 +
== Grades ==
 +
{{main|Grade}}
 +
Decorated weapons come in 6 grades. This value is intrinsic to the specific Decorated weapon and serves as an indicator of rarity. Therefore, it is not possible for an Elite Grade Barn Burner to exist, nor a Freelance Grade Sand Cannon, as both have the rarity of Mercenary and Elite, respectively.
 +
 
 +
The list of current weapon grades is provided below, with each grade having a specific text color associated with them in the [[loadout]] screen.
 +
{{Decorated grade table}}
 +
 
 +
== Wear ==
 +
 
 +
Decorated weapons also possess one of five different levels of exterior wear. Wear is indicated in parentheses after the weapon's grade, i.e Mercenary Grade SMG (Well-Worn).
 +
 
 +
Unlike grades, all levels of exterior wear can apply to any Decorated weapon, so it is possible to have a Battle Scarred Elite grade weapon and Factory New Civilian grade weapon. Wear describes the weapon's appearance, corresponding to a level of exterior "use".
 +
 
 +
These levels of wear, in order of least worn to most worn, are:
 +
 
 +
* Factory New
 +
* Minimal Wear
 +
* Field-Tested
 +
* Well-Worn
 +
* Battle Scarred
 +
 
 +
At the highest grade, the weapon looks brand new, with little prior use. Following a gradual decrease in wear level, scratches and eventually blood spatters begin to appear, and their sizes increase as wear grade decreases. They are randomized along with skin placement on each weapon. The weapon's paint eventually becomes extremely battered and chipped at the lowest level of wear.
 +
 
 +
Note that the game generates a backpack icon for the version of the decorated weapon the player owns, while the [[Steam Community Market]] utilizes a shared backpack icon for each weapon with a particular exterior wear.

 +
* All team-colored Tough Break Collection weapons lack the description "Team Colored Decorated Weapon".
 +
* Unusual effects on Revolvers and Knives will disappear in first-person upon disguising, and will not reappear until the user is undisguised and performs a weapon switch.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKOEwoOj4I8 Disguise] unusual bug</ref>
 +
** Similarly, Unusual effects on weapons will disappear if the player switches from the [[Mutated Milk]] to an Unusual weapon. The effects reappear once the player switches to and from any other weapon.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb9QgkkCO6Y Mutated Milk] Unusual bug</ref>
 +
* Holding a Decorated weapon and then using certain [[taunts]] that use props (for example: the [[Luxury Lounge]]) makes the prop use the weapon's texture.
 +
** This also causes certain parts of the taunt to disappear for other players (for example: the [[Fresh Brewed Victory]] cup and the bag of coffee beans).
 +
* Occasionally, parts of a Decorated weapon's War Paint appear as a missing texture in first-person view. The texture returns to normal upon swapping teams.
 +
 
 +
== Notes ==
 +
* The patterns and exterior qualities of Decorated weapons do not appear when running the game with {{code|dxlevel -80}} or {{code|dxlevel -81}}. Instead of showing the decorations, they only appear as their stock counterpart. When running the game in these DirectX levels, the descriptions of Decorated weapons change, adding the extra string: "You are in DirectX 8, decorated weapons are incompatible and will show as stock".
 +
** Upon checkout at the [[Mann Co. Store]], having a [[Gun Mettle Campaign Pass]] in the cart causes the game to show a message warning the player that Decorated weapons do not work on DirectX 8.
 +
** The reflection details featured in some Decorated weapons still show under DirectX 8, but not the pattern and exteriors.

 ”

Decorated is an item quality assigned to weapons with special grade factors of design, varying levels of exterior wear, and possibly a Strange counter and/or Unusual effect. Decorated weapons were introduced in the Gun Mettle Update.

Decorated weapons have what is essentially a cosmetic "skin", similar to Australium weapons. However, instead of Australium plating, Decorated quality weapons possess a layer of paint applied in a pattern, based on the Weapon Collection the particular weapon is found in. Decorated patterns differ in scale and rotation weapon to weapon, with portions of these patterns being randomized when the weapon is first awarded. As such, it is very rare to have two Decorated weapons with the exact same pattern.

A Decorated weapon's quality is classified under one of six levels of rarity, referred to as "Grades", with a separate ranking for exterior damage (referred to as "Wear") that applies to all grades.

Decorated weapons can be obtained through various methods, including random drops following the completion of contracts, unboxing specific weapon cases, or generation through a War Paint. Decorated weapons and War Paints obtained from cases also have a chance of being Strange, a rarer chance of being Unusual, and a very rare chance to be both. Strange variants add a visible "Stat Clock" to the side of the weapon, which counts kills (or ÜberCharges in the case of the Medi Guns).

Civilian Grade weapons (which are not found in Strange quality normally) can also have a Stat Clock applied to them using a Civilian Grade Stat Clock tool.

Decorated weapons are purely cosmetic, and have no effect on gameplay.

Following the December 22, 2015 Patch, all Decorated items can now be festivized with the Festivizer tool.

When mouse-hovering over a Decorated weapon in the backpack, a detailed window appears displaying a rotating 3D model of the weapon. This window also displays the weapon's grade and level of exterior wear, as well as a list of weapons found within the weapon's respective collection, with a check mark next to any that the player already owns. Choosing to inspect a Decorated weapon through this menu opens a larger window where the player can manually rotate the weapon model to see it from all angles.

In-game, the title text of Decorated weapons uses the associated color of their grade.

While in the Steam inventory, during trading, and on the Steam Community Market, the hexadecimal color code for Decorated weapons is #FAFAFA — a bright off-white — regardless of grade.

Grades

Main article: Grade

Decorated weapons come in 6 grades. This value is intrinsic to the specific Decorated weapon and serves as an indicator of rarity. Therefore, it is not possible for an Elite Grade Barn Burner to exist, nor a Freelance Grade Sand Cannon, as both have the rarity of Mercenary and Elite, respectively.

The list of current weapon grades is provided below, with each grade having a specific text color associated with them in the loadout screen.

Color Name Example
#B0C3D9 Civilian Grade Scattergun
#5E98D9 Freelance Grade Stickybomb Launcher
#4B69FF Mercenary Grade Minigun
#8847FF Commando Grade Flame Thrower
#D32CE6 Assassin Grade Sniper Rifle
#EB4B4B Elite Grade Rocket Launcher

Wear

Decorated weapons also possess one of five different levels of exterior wear. Wear is indicated in parentheses after the weapon's grade, i.e Mercenary Grade SMG (Well-Worn).

Unlike grades, all levels of exterior wear can apply to any Decorated weapon, so it is possible to have a Battle Scarred Elite grade weapon and Factory New Civilian grade weapon. Wear describes the weapon's appearance, corresponding to a level of exterior "use".

These levels of wear, in order of least worn to most worn, are:

  • Factory New
  • Minimal Wear
  • Field-Tested
  • Well-Worn
  • Battle Scarred

At the highest grade, the weapon looks brand new, with little prior use. Following a gradual decrease in wear level, scratches and eventually blood spatters begin to appear, and their sizes increase as wear grade decreases. They are randomized along with skin placement on each weapon. The weapon's paint eventually becomes extremely battered and chipped at the lowest level of wear.

Note that the game generates a backpack icon for the version of the decorated weapon the player owns, while the Steam Community Market utilizes a shared backpack icon for each weapon with a particular exterior wear.

Gun Mettle Collections

Weapon skins feature randomly positioned patterns. Only one of the possible placements is shown below.

The Teufort Collection

The weapons that belong in the Teufort collection

The Teufort Collection is one of two weapon skin collections available from completing Gun Mettle contracts. It is a collection of weapon skins based on the various textures found in 2Fort, such as wooden planks, metal plate, and dirt ground. As of October 20, 2017, the Bovine Blazemaker, Civic Duty, Civil Servant, and Smalltown Bringdown skins has been rereleased through the War Paint system introduced in the Jungle Inferno Update.

The Craftsmann Collection

The weapons that belong in the Craftsmann collection

The Craftsmann Collection is the second weapon skin collection available from completing Gun Mettle contracts. It is a collection of skins focusing on a DIY-like project, having most guns painted in a way that makes them seem made from household materials and/or fabrics. The team color variants mostly apply to materials with a plaid pattern. As of October 20, 2017, the Plaid Potshotter and Iron Wood skins have been rereleased through the War Paint system introduced in the Jungle Inferno Update.

The Concealed Killer Collection

The weapons that belong in the Concealed Killer collection

The Concealed Killer Collection is one of two weapon skin collections only available through opening weapon cases obtained during the Gun Mettle Campaign. To obtain a weapon with this skin, players must unbox a Concealed Killer Weapons Case using a Gun Mettle Key. This collection focuses on military-style camouflage skins of various colors and patterns. As of October 20, 2017, the Backwoods Boomstick, Woodland Warrior, Masked Mender, Carpet Bomber, Woodsy Widowmaker, Night Owl, Wrapped Reviver and Forest Fire skins have been rereleased through the War Paint system introduced in the Jungle Inferno Update.

The Powerhouse Collection

The weapons that belong in the Powerhouse collection

The Powerhouse Collection is the second weapon skin collection only available though Gun Mettle Campaign weapon cases. To obtain a weapon with this skin, players must open a Powerhouse Weapons Case with a Gun Mettle Key. The primary focus of this collection is bright patterns, resembling electricity and power station logos, some of which are related to the map Powerhouse. As of October 20, 2017, the Dead Reckoner skin has been rereleased through the War Paint system introduced in the Jungle Inferno Update.

Tough Break Collections

Weapon skins feature randomly positioned patterns and randomly generated stickers. Only one of the possible placements is shown below.

Uniquely, this is the only skin collection which contains skins that boosts the Phong shading of several or most parts of the weapon in order to make them glossier and more appealing (such as majority of the Gentlemanne's Collection and the Corsair variants in the Warbird Collection), making them currently the only publicly-obtainable weapons with increased Phong shading, with the exception of certain Community quality weapons.

The Harvest Collection

The Harvest Collection is one of two weapon skin collections available through completing Tough Break contracts. Half of the possible skins from this collection are based on autumn colors and patterns, such as leaves, pumpkins, and trees. The other half of the skins take on a more "spooky" or Halloween-based style. The Boneyard skins in particular have a unique aesthetic, as lower grades cause the bone-colored parts of the weapon to wear off, revealing bloody "bone marrow" instead of showing the gun's stock texture under it. As of October 20, 2017, the Macabre Web, Nutcracker, and Autumn skins have been rereleased through the War Paint system introduced in the Jungle Inferno Update.

The Gentlemanne's Collection

The Gentlemanne's Collection is the second weapon skin collection available through completing Tough Break contracts. The skins from this collection take on a fancy, ornate, or expensive-looking approach. The "High Roller's" set in particular focuses on a casino or gambling theme. The "Coffin Nail" set is based upon cigarettes; uniquely, as the weapon's wear decreases, glowing "burn" marks appear on the skin's muzzle as if the weapon was a cigarette gradually being "smoked".

The Pyroland Collection

The Pyroland Collection is one of two Tough Break collections available only through opening weapons cases. To obtain a weapon from this collection, one must open a Pyroland Weapons Case with a Tough Break Key. Weapons from this collection focus on patterns and designs found in Pyroland, such as rainbows and cats, along with contrasting "lava" skins representing the Pyro's viewpoint out of Pyroland.

The Warbird Collection

The Warbird Collection is the second Tough Break collection available only through opening weapons cases. Weapons from this collection can be obtained by opening a Warbird Weapons Case with a Tough Break Key. These weapons bear motifs from the air arms of the countries that fought in World War II, including those of the USAAF and Luftwaffe.

War Paint Collections

Decorated items released after the Jungle Inferno Update use War Paints rather than predetermined weapon and "skin" combinations. These can be applied to 44 different weapons.

  • Sax Waxed
  • Yeti Coated

Unusual Effects

Unusual Decorated weapons have a particle effect attached to parts of the weapon. Depending on the Unusual effect and weapon, the position of the particle effect can vary; for example, Isotope tends to only cover the tip of the weapon's muzzle (unless the weapon is small, such as on a Pistol or Revolver, where it covers most of the weapon), while Hot and Cool tend to travel along the whole weapon, making it more visible on larger weapons (like the Rocket Launcher).

Bugs

A BLU Decorated Coffin Nail Grenade Launcher missing part of its texture.
  • Upon respawning, Unusual effects can sometimes become positioned in front of the player's screen, blocking their view. This can be fixed by switching weapons.
  • All team-colored Tough Break Collection weapons lack the description "Team Colored Decorated Weapon".
  • Unusual effects on Revolvers and Knives will disappear in first-person upon disguising, and will not reappear until the user is undisguised and performs a weapon switch.[1]
    • Similarly, Unusual effects on weapons will disappear if the player switches from the Mutated Milk to an Unusual weapon. The effects reappear once the player switches to and from any other weapon.[2]
  • Holding a Decorated weapon and then using certain taunts that use props (for example: the Luxury Lounge) makes the prop use the weapon's texture.
    • This also causes certain parts of the taunt to disappear for other players (for example: the Fresh Brewed Victory cup and the bag of coffee beans).
  • Occasionally, parts of a Decorated weapon's War Paint appear as a missing texture in first-person view. The texture returns to normal upon swapping teams.

Notes

  • The patterns and exterior qualities of Decorated weapons do not appear when running the game with dxlevel -80 or dxlevel -81. Instead of showing the decorations, they only appear as their stock counterpart. When running the game in these DirectX levels, the descriptions of Decorated weapons change, adding the extra string: "You are in DirectX 8, decorated weapons are incompatible and will show as stock".
    • Upon checkout at the Mann Co. Store, having a Gun Mettle Campaign Pass in the cart causes the game to show a message warning the player that Decorated weapons do not work on DirectX 8.
    • The reflection details featured in some Decorated weapons still show under DirectX 8, but not the pattern and exteriors.
