Community weapons

Community weapons are unique in-game weapons given by Valve to individuals who have made a significant contribution to the Team Fortress 2 community, such as making a map that is made official, creating competitive game guides, and creating map themes.

These weapons are identified by a sparkling particle effect emitted by the weapon, both in first-person view and world view. The weapons also have their name in green text, along with the word “Community” in front of them, e.g. “Community Flamethrower.”

Trivia

• Originally, these names were grammatically incorrect, using names like “Community The Kritzkrieg.” Valve has since corrected this.
• Typically, these weapons are level 50 items, though there are some at 100. Like all other in-game items, levels have no effect on gameplay or the weapons.
• In some cases, a contributor was awarded one item, such as a Community Sniper Rifle, but later had it exchanged for another weapon, like a Community Huntsman. Initially players were given Community weapons based on what their most played class was, but depending on the circumstances it has been possible to specify a weapon instead.
