(This article is a mess, and seems to think that Fabricators and Killstreak Kits are the same item. Killstreak Kits are things that add effects to items. Fabricators are chemistry sets that make kits, and they have their own article. Got it?)

After upgrading a weapon to Killstreak quality, a kill counter appears in the player's HUD, and resets only upon player death. Most notably, Killstreak weapons display unique features depending on the weapon's level and the amount of kills; whilst a level 1 weapon simply tracks kills, higher levels can add a [[Phong shading|colored sheen]] and can display [[unusual]] effects.

Standard Killstreak Kits are the most common variety, and simply add a HUD kill counter. Unlocked after every tour of Two Cities, the Kit functions similarly to a small scale [[Strangifier]]; weapons track kills, but instead of counting lifetime kills like their [[Strange]] counterparts, Killstreaks measure [[frag]]s in a single life. Applying a Standard Kit comes at no additional cost (beyond the kit itself), but can only be applied to a specific, pre-determined weapon. Killstreak Kits can be applied to Strange weapons to maintain two counters.

Acting as the next level to Standard Kits, the Specialized Kits apply a colored sheen to the weapon, and require specific ingredients to work. As a player's streak increases, the weapon's glow becomes more intense. In order to upgrade with a Specialized Kit, players require a Level 1 Killstreak weapon, along with a random selection of loot; said loot is dropped after every completed Two Cities map (e.g. Battle-Worn Robot Money Furnace).

It should be noted that the users must apply killstreak kits to unique qualities only if they wish to complete a fabricator -- no strange, genuine, or vintage item will count as a "killstreak item" for the kit fabricator requirements. However, it can be any unique killstreak weapon. Once the fabricator is complete, it can then be applied on top of any strange, unique or genuine version at will and it will stack on top of the current existing modifiers.
