This article lists '''currently unreleased content''' that is assumed will be released before the end of ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' development. "Unreleased" in this context refers to content that, unlike [[beta]] or [[unused content]], is in the game files and/or was promised to be put in, and ''possibly'' may be integrated in-game at some point (as opposed to purposefully cut or abandoned).

Certain evidence of '''unreleased items''' can be found within the game files or by official sources. It is unclear why they have not been released as of yet; even if the content has been "in storage" for many years, it simply cannot be presumed they will never be officially used.

Firstly, a community-contributed hat known as the [[Legionaire's Lid]] (according to the tf_english.txt file) exists in the GCF, complete with description.
 
  
−
In the [[December 23, 2010 Patch]], ''tf_english.txt'' strings for a new [[Demoman]] shield, known as the [[Heraldic Targe]], and [[Gadget Tokens]] were revealed. Robin Walker announced that the Gadget Tokens was "an experiment we tested internally, but didn't like enough to ship," so the Gadget Tokens may never be released.
+
=== Dr. Grordbort's Packs ===
 +
The WETA Workshop, known for making [[Dr. Grordbort's Victory Pack]], [[Dr. Grordbort's Brainiac Pack]] and [[Dr. Grordbort's Moonman Pack]] item sets for TF2, announced on the official Dr. Grordbort's site that two new packs were in development for the game<ref>{{cite web |url=https://drgrordborts.com/news-reel/vote-for-new-dr-grordbort-s-items-for-team-fortress-2/ |title=Vote for new Dr Grordbort's items for Team Fortress 2  |author=DrGrordborts.com |retrieved=2021-06-22}}</ref> with Steam users being able to vote on which set they wanted to see in the game first. The sets are the [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=9231 Dr. Grordbort's Rocketboy Pack] for the [[Scout]], and the [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=9232 Dr. Grordbort's Man of Science Pack] for the [[Medic]]. Both sets follow the pattern of the other Grordbort sets, being retro-futuristic styled items.
  
−
The [[Detonator]] and the [[Quick-Fix]] were also revealed but at the time were unavailable. Currently they exist in the [[Team Fortress 2 Beta]] and use the same models as the [[Flare Gun]] and the [[Medi Gun]], respectively.
+
==== Man Of Science Pack ====
 +
Five items were announced for this set. So far, there are two weapons in this set: a [[primary weapon]], the ''Mercy Killer'',  is a laser gun; and the [[secondary weapon]], the ''Anti-Deathray'', seems to be a ray-based [[Medi Gun]]. Both were already designed, but have no models. However, the three cosmetic items were already modeled and submitted to the Steam Workshop, being the ''Negative Prognosis'', a replacement for the backpack, the ''Second Opinion - Utility Belt'', a set of surgical tools wrapped to the Medic's waist, and the ''Scientific Science Goggles of Science'', a pair of goggles with multiple lenses.
  
−
On May 5, 2011, Valve released the [[Replay Update]]. Along with the update was the release of the [[Meet the Director]] comic. On the final page of the comic, a [[Medic]] can be seen holding a new form of [[Medigun]].

Both were already designed, but have no models. However, the three cosmetic items were already modeled and submitted to the Steam Workshop, being the ''Gloves of Progress'', a pair of black gloves, the ''Ballistic Trajectory'', a jetpack replacing the backpack, and the ''Futuristic 'Future Hat' of the Future'', a helmet.

The [[June 3, 2011 Patch]] included two headwear items, the [[Planeswalker Helm]] for the Medic, and the [[Planeswalker Goggles]] for the Scout. Though the items are in game, they are not obtainable as of yet. The name of the helmet in the files seems to associate these headwear with [[Magic: The Gathering]].

Shortly after the [[Mannconomy Update|Mann-Conomy Update]], Robin Walker discussed [http://www.cubeupload.com/files/52cf41robbin.png in an email] with one of the community contributors a future performance update in the works which would replace all W (World) and V (View) models with the new C (Combination) model type, as well as update existing C models and the new C models with LODs. This update would significantly increase performance and allow for a greater range of community and Valve item replacements in later updates. In the updates released since this email was sent, a sizable portion of the game's C models have received LODs. Many more, however, are still to come.

The [[Improv Coonskin Cap]] is a community-contributed cosmetic item for the Soldier.

Apparently some ''Portal 2'' playtesters at Valve were given a private viewing of ''Meet the Medic'', meaning the next video in the series is close to being finished and will most likely be released sometime in the near future.

In a tour of Valve's studio, TF2 community member Political Gamer received a preview of ''Meet the Medic''.

According to Robin, ''Meet the Medic'' has been in development longer than any other Meet the Team video to date, and a good number of iterations of the video were made, which are to (hopefully) be shown before/after the actual video is released. Robin also stated that Robin Atkin Downes '''was''' returning to voice the Medic. Funny Hats noted that "[he] was only able to take pictures of the lobby area, but when we were touring through, [he] saw some concept pictures for Meet the Medic on a wall. One was of the Medic operating on the [[Heavy]] in a large room with some crazy gizmo with a bunch of lights hanging over the table. The other was of a Heavy in a wheelchair."

This article lists currently unreleased content that is assumed will be released before the end of Team Fortress 2 development. "Unreleased" in this context refers to content that, unlike beta or unused content, is in the game files and/or was promised to be put in, and possibly may be integrated in-game at some point (as opposed to purposefully cut or abandoned).

Unreleased items

Certain evidence of unreleased items can be found within the game files or by official sources. It is unclear why they have not been released as of yet; even if the content has been "in storage" for many years, it simply cannot be presumed they will never be officially used.

Weapons and tools

Main article: Unused content
  • A community-contributed hat known as the Legionaire's Lid (according to the tf_english.txt file) exists in the "VPK" complete with description.

Pubbers vs Pros Medal

Main article: Pubstars vs Pros

The Pubbers vs Pros Medal is a Miscellaneous item created by Lord Ned of TF2Maps to reward participants of the Pubstars vs Pros event. This medal is similar to the Polycount Pin as it will only be available to those who compete within the event.

  • The Pubbers Vs Pros Medal as it appears in the original announcement thread.

Other Polycount contest entries

Valve initially selected five entries from the Polycount Contest out of a total of 76. Robin Walker has stated that nearly half of the entries were of high enough quality to be used in-game, and Valve has since implemented an additional six entries.[1][2][3] All of the entries can be found here.

Dr. Grordbort's Packs

The WETA Workshop, known for making Dr. Grordbort's Victory Pack, Dr. Grordbort's Brainiac Pack and Dr. Grordbort's Moonman Pack item sets for TF2, announced on the official Dr. Grordbort's site that two new packs were in development for the game[4] with Steam users being able to vote on which set they wanted to see in the game first. The sets are the Dr. Grordbort's Rocketboy Pack for the Scout, and the Dr. Grordbort's Man of Science Pack for the Medic. Both sets follow the pattern of the other Grordbort sets, being retro-futuristic styled items.

Man Of Science Pack

Five items were announced for this set. So far, there are two weapons in this set: a primary weapon, the Mercy Killer, is a laser gun; and the secondary weapon, the Anti-Deathray, seems to be a ray-based Medi Gun. Both were already designed, but have no models. However, the three cosmetic items were already modeled and submitted to the Steam Workshop, being the Negative Prognosis, a replacement for the backpack, the Second Opinion - Utility Belt, a set of surgical tools wrapped to the Medic's waist, and the Scientific Science Goggles of Science, a pair of goggles with multiple lenses.

Rocketboy Pack

Five items were announced for this set. So far, there are two weapons in this set: a primary weapon, the Mule Molestor 600,(sic) appears to be a retro-styled Force-A-Nature; and a secondary weapon, the Saboteur 66, which appears to be a ray-based Pistol. Both were already designed, but have no models. However, the three cosmetic items were already modeled and submitted to the Steam Workshop, being the Gloves of Progress, a pair of black gloves, the Ballistic Trajectory, a jetpack replacing the backpack, and the Futuristic 'Future Hat' of the Future, a helmet.

Dota 2 promotional items

Sniper's Snipin' Glass, Clockwerk's Helm, and Storm Spirit's Jolly Hat have existed fully modeled and textured in the game files since August 2011.

Improv Coonskin Cap

The Improv Coonskin Cap is a community-contributed cosmetic item for the Soldier. It was added in the Scream Fortress 2016 update as an Assassin-grade cosmetic item as part of the Creepy Crawly Case Collection. Shortly after the update went live, Valve released another patch removing the item and all related text from the game.

The Improv Coonskin Cap was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

  • Screenshot of the Improv Coonskin Cap taken from the Steam Workshop page

Jungle Inferno hats

The Jungle Inferno update added 4 unused hats, 3 of which are reskins of the Monstrous Memento and the last of which is a reskin of the Aperture Labs Hard Hat. Although these hats are listed in the Mann Co. Catalog, they are currently unobtainable in-game:

Large-scale performance update

Shortly after the Mann-Conomy Update, Robin Walker discussed in an email with one of the community contributors a large-scale performance update in the works which would replace all W (World) and V (View) models with the new C (Combination) model type, as well as an update to the existing C models and the new C models with LODs. This update would significantly increase performance and allow for a greater range of community and Valve item replacements in later updates. In the updates released since this email was sent, a sizable portion of the game's C models have received LODs. Many more, however, are still to come.

Training Mode for the remaining classes

Training Mode for the remaining classes (Scout, Pyro, Heavy, Medic and Sniper) is to be released in a future update.
