+ | The '''Unusual''' quality is an [[item quality]] used on [[cosmetic items]], [[taunts]], and [[weapons]]. Unusual quality items have special [[particle effects]] attached to them, and are considered to be some of the rarest items in ''[[Team Fortress 2]]''. There are currently '''{{itemcount|uc}}''' cosmetics that can have one of '''{{itemcount|uce}}''' total effects, '''{{itemcount|ut}}''' taunts that can have one of '''{{itemcount|ute}}''' total effects, and '''{{itemcount|uw}}''' weapons that can have one of '''{{itemcount|uwe}}''' effects. Unusual items can primarily be obtained through opening [[Mann Co. Supply Crate]]s and cases. There is a {{tooltip|''less than 1%'' chance|probably ~0.66%, or 1/150 chance}} of obtaining an Unusual quality item through crates and cases.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200215001408/https://tf2finance.com/rate/ Statistical analysis of TF2 unbox rate]</ref> Unusual quality items can be obtained in any crate or case, but the effect pools may vary depending on the crate or case series. | ||

The Unusual quality is an item quality used on cosmetic items, taunts, and weapons. Unusual quality items have special particle effects attached to them, and are considered to be some of the rarest items in Team Fortress 2. There are currently 610 cosmetics that can have one of 295 total effects, 99 taunts that can have one of 125 total effects, and 44 weapons that can have one of 5 effects. Unusual items can primarily be obtained through opening Mann Co. Supply Crates and cases. There is a less than 1% chance of obtaining an Unusual quality item through crates and cases.[1] Unusual quality items can be obtained in any crate or case, but the effect pools may vary depending on the crate or case series.
The hexadecimal color code for Unusual items is #8650AC, a deep purple.

The Haunted Metal Scrap is given to any player who has taken part in defeating the Horseless Headless Horsemann with a melee weapon during a Halloween event. The Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker can be obtained by crafting, and is statistically identical to the Eyelander.
