Item rarity is a "quality" of items in Team Fortress 2.
Contents
Normal items
Also called 'stock' items, these are the standard non-unlockable weapons that first shipped with the game, e.g. the Scattergun and the Rocket Launcher. These weapons are available to all players. Since the Polycount Update, unique variants of these items can now be viewed for use with Name Tags in the backpack by checking the box "Show Stock Items".
Unique items
Also known as unlockables. These items can be purchased from the Mann. Co Store, dropped randomly through gameplay, obtained through achievements, crafted, or traded. As of the Mann-Conomy Update, all unique items gained before the update were changed to vintage status (see below).
Vintage items
Vintage items are items that were obtained before the release of the Mann-Conomy Update. Most existing Unique items were changed to Vintage items in order to increase their appeal in trading. However, they bear no difference other than their blue name and new "Vintage" prefix. Some items were excluded and not changed to Vintage, such as badges, promotional items such as Bill's Hat, and Holiday items such as the Ghastly Gibus. Other items such as the Vintage Tyrolean keep both their original name and the new prefix, resulting in the muddled title "Vintage Vintage Tyrolean". It remains to be seen if this will be fixed by Valve.
As the number of Vintage items decreases over time by crafting and trading, their individual value will increase. Renamed vintage items keep their original name color.
Unusual items
Unusual items are hats that have special particle effects attached to them. Currently, the only way to obtain these items is by unlocking a Mann Co. Supply Crate with its corresponding key, or by trading for one. There are 896 possible combinations between hats and unusual item particle effects (14 Effects * 64 Current 'Unusual Able' Hats). The different particle effects are viewable in this animation, and below as they appear in-game. Two unusual hats cannot be crafted into another unusual hat. The result of two combined unusual hats will produce a normal hat.
