The Lo-Fi Longwave is a headwear item for all classes. It is an off-white hardhat with a miniature radio tower mounted on top and the KritzKast logo printed on the front.
The hat is awarded in Vintage quality to a limited but unspecified number of players for being a member of the KritzKast Steam Group prior to the June 12th podcast and for getting at least four out of five questions correct on the KritzKast quiz. Players who do not complete the quiz on their first try are given another try 24 hours later, and again after that. Those who were not part of the KritzKast group before the deadline recieved a message from Saxton Hale stating they are "manly enough NOT to receive" the hat.
