Vintage quality

Main article: Vintage items

As the update was introduced, all of the items which were previously obtained became "Vintage Items". Their name is now rendered blue, and the "Vintage" prefix was added to their name. According to Valve, "some items that used to be rare will become more common when they are available for purchase. (...) This way, those older rare items remain rare (in fact, they're even rarer, because they're limited editions now). "

Some exceptions were promotional items, including but not limited to the Cheater's Lament, Alien Swarm Parasite, Lumbricus Lid, Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask, Bill's Hat, Ghastly Gibus, and Earbuds, as well as all the medals and craft materials.


Unusual hats

Main article: Unusual items

Unusual items are hats that have special particle effects attached to them. 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 882 possible combinations between hats and unusual item particle effects (14 Effects * 63 Current 'Unusual-able' Hats.) The different particle effects are viewable in this animation. All crate series over 1 have a 1 percent of getting an Unusual Hat. Crate series 1 has a 2.75% of getting an unusual hat.

New methods to obtain items

Trading

Main article: Trading

Trading is an in-game system allowing players to swap weapons, hats and misc items allowing players to obtain items that they desire. Some items, such as the Golden Wrench and store-bought items are 'untradable', meaning that they must remain on the original account that obtained them.

As of now, it is possible to trade with players on a player's friends list, with other players in their current server, and through either player's Steam Community ID.

However, although it may seem obvious, both trade "partners" must be playing Team Fortress 2 if they wish to trade.

Store

Main article: Mann Co. Store

The Mann Co. Store is an in-game micro-transaction service. The store allows players to purchase in-game items such as hats, weapons, and action items using money stored in their Steam Wallet. Creators of community-contributed items receive a percentage of sales for anything they've created.

All hats or weapons bought through the store cannot be crafted or traded, except by the use of Gift Wrap.
