The Chieftain's Challenge is an unlockable headwear item for the Soldier. It is a classic stereotypical Native American headdress, worn by chiefs from the early 1850s to the late 1910s.
Trivia
- Strangely enough, this hat along with Bombing Run and Stout Shako look similar to items submitted in the Polycount contest, even though some of the hats were submitted for other classes.
- A traditional headdress of Native Americans was made from eagle feathers. There are about twenty feathers on this particular headdress. Feathers would be earned though different deeds done in war or in daily life. In some American Indian tribes individuals had to go through many tribulations to receive or be allowed to make a headdress. Many individuals would be allowed to wear a headdress depending on how many they have earned throughout their lifetime. This task could take a substantial amount of time which is probably why the developers name the item so.
- The feathers on the headdress were typically used by the natives to keep the sun out of their eyes. However, since the hat itself covers the Soldier's eyes, they serve little purpose.
- The hat may be associated with the Soldier's affiliation with eagles, e.g.: "Screamin' Eagles!"
- It is likely that this hat was added in reference to the Control Point TF2 Podcast, as there is a suggestion for a Native American themed Soldier update mentioned within an episode.
- The name of this hat was misspelled "Chieftan Challenge".
- According to the TF2Items hat statistics page, the Chieftain's Challenge is currently the most desired hat.
- Continuing the trend of his previous hats, this hat covers the Soldier's eyes. However, unlike the others that just hang down over his eyes, this one completely covers them.
- Following the theme of the Tyrant's Helm and Killer's Kabuto, this headgear is worn by those known to be legendary and ruthless champions of battle in history and in myth. Perhaps the Soldier identifies with these tribes of warriors and chooses to mimic their well recognized headgear.
- This hat was a part of the Crate series #2.
- The eagle was considered by the Indian as the greatest and most powerful of all birds and thus, the finest bonnets were made out of its feathers. This May Relate To The fact that soldier is considered one of the most powerfull class in Team Fortress 2.
- This Hat Relates The Soldier With his American Origin, Unlike killers Kabuto and Tyrants Helm.
