− | The '''Grandmaster''' is a [[Promotional items|promotional]] [[Cosmetic items|cosmetic item]] for [[all classes]]. It is a team-colored [[w:Hard hat|hard hat]], with a small [[w:chess board|chess board]] attached by a rubber spring and two strips of rubber, which [[Jiggle bones|bounce around]] as the player moves. On top of the chess board, a small device projects a small red bomb hologram on the RED team, and a blue {{botignore|wrench}} hologram on the BLU team, both of which rotate. As the player's killstreak rises, the hologram projection changes to various chess pieces.

− | == Killstreak ==
| |
− |
| |
− | The Grandmaster possesses an unique mechanic that changes the design of the hologram based on the wearer's killstreak. The design changes based on how many enemies were killed during a single life:

| |
− | == Update history ==
| |
− | '''{{Patch name|10|2|2013}}'''
| |
− | * The Grandmaster was added to the game.
| |
− | '''{{Patch name|11|11|2013}}'''
| |
− | * The Grandmaster will now update its model based on the owner's current kill streak.
| |
− | '''{{Patch name|08|21|2014}}'''
| |
− | * Fixed the [[Demoman]] not being able to equip The Grandmaster
| |
− |
| |
− | == Notes ==
| |
− | * The Grandmaster has its own Killstreak counter and does not require having any [[Killstreak]] weapons equipped to level up.
| |
− | * [[Assist]]s does not contribute to the cosmetic's killstreak counter, and will not change the design of the hologram, meaning that kills made by the [[Medic]]'s healing target does not contribute to the cosmetic's killstreak.
| |
− | * [[Sentry Gun]]s built by [[Engineer]]s will count towards the killstreak, and the holograms will be updated accordingly.
| |
− | * Enemies who die by [[Environmental Death|environmental damage]] after being damaged by someone wearing the cosmetic will also be counted towards the killstreak. Examples include being pushed off a cliff by [[Pyro]]'s [[Airblast]], dying from fall damage, an enemy dying from their own projectile after being hit by the Grandmaster's wearer, etc.
| |
− |
| |
− | == Bugs ==
| |
− | * If a Spy is disguised as an enemy with The Grandmaster, the hat will appear as the Spy's team color.
| |
− | * There is a bug with the "Inspect Item" menu not allowing for the BLU version of the Grandmaster to be shown in the preview.
| |
− | * Touching a [[Respawn#Resupply|ressuply locker]] will reset the hologram's design back to the first one.
| |
− |
| |
− | == Trivia ==
| |
− | * The item's description refers to a pair of chess matches in 1996 and 1997 between [[w:Garry Kasparov|Garry Kasparov]], a former World Chess Champion and considered by some as the best of all time, and [[w:Deep Blue (chess computer)|Deep Blue]], a chess-playing computer developed by [[W:IBM|IBM]] with the intent of beating a human world champion.
| |
− | * The title [[w:Grandmaster (chess)|Grandmaster]] is awarded to chess players by the world chess organization FIDE. Apart from World Champion, Grandmaster is the highest title a chess player can earn.
