Reference

Point and Shoot may rather be reference to a kind of game and/or play-style that is typical of older fantasy-based games. I don't think a camera makes much sense as a reference to the hat's name. Should it be changed? RetroBlue 18:19, 16 November 2011 (PST)

Don't think so, pretty sure you're talking about "Point and Click". ^^ — Zhnigo 18:31, 16 November 2011 (PST)

So we have a coined phrase which describes a type of a camera and doesn't really belong here, but what about the description, which actually says to stick it in someone's eye (point) and run like hell (shoot)?

Given out yet?

Anyone received this and the War Head yet? Pre-ordered earlier today, still nothing. Gonna be a repeat of Saint's Row 3 pre-order bonuses, I assume. 404: User Not Found (talk) 03:39, 18 November 2011 (PST)

Paintable Talk?

Is there any talk that this will become paintable? I understand that this is in no way relating to editing the article, but I would just like to know, if someone would please enlighten me.--Awesome Weegee 13:47, 14 February 2012 (PST)

  • It's possible if there is enough demand for it. However it usually takes a month or so. Even still, some hats remain unpaintable such as the Big Chief --Upgrade 13:53, 14 February 2012 (PST)
