Hats/pl

„

"Z biegiem historii mężczyźni nosili czapki, aby pokazać, że są lepsi od innych. "Kupuję czapki" - mężczyzna z czapką zwykł mawiać. "Jestem lepszy od ciebie." Podczas wojny czapki były doskonałym wyjściem do ukazania czyjejś rangi, a także do potwierdzenia, że straty w ludziach dotyczyły tylko klas niższych. Podczas pokoju czapki były jedynie symbolem pokazania ludziom bez czapek, kto tu tak naprawdę rządzi." — Hats: The Ultimate Status Symbol.

Czapki albo (Nakrycia głowy) są przedmiotami zajmującymi swoje własne miejsce o nazwie 'głowa' w [loadout|ekwipunku]]. Nie posiadają żadnego wpływu na rozgrywkę, są jedynie przedmiotami dopełniającymi wizerunek klasy. Ogólnie jest dostępnych 56 czapek. Valve wydało pierwszy zestaw 9 czapek w aktualizacji klasowej Snajper kontra Szpieg. Większe aktualizacje zazwyczaj dodawały do gry dodatkowe zestawy, wliczając w to czapki stworzone przez społeczność.

Czapki można dostać losowo za pomocą losowego systemu otrzymywania przedmiotów i poprzez wytwarzanie. Lecz z powodu bardzo niskiej szansy losowego otrzymania czapki i wysokiego kosztu wytworzenia jej, czapki są przedmiotem kultu, zazdrości, a także popularności w społeczeństwie TF2.

W ostateczności Valve udało się dodać do gry szeroko dostępne czapki, równocześnie zachowując rzadkość reszty czapek. Niektóre czapki można zdobyć poprzez wykonanie osiągnięć. Inne czapki zostały dodane jako dodatek do specjalnych ofert niektórych gier, na przykład Left 4 Dead 2, Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse i Alien Swarm.

A Brief History of Hats

• Sniper vs Spy Update

The first nine hats are introduced into the game, announced at the end of the update as an added surprise bonus.

• The Classless Update

The next set of hats is patched into the game, including 18 new hats and three 'hatless' models, (with a noticably higher polygon count than the first hat generation.)

• September 2, 2009

Since the release of the first hats, third-party programs emerge which simulate a normal game server in which players can "idle", thus increasing their playing time and their chances of receiving a hat. Valve takes a stance against this and implements a policy against the use of all external idling applications, and removing items and hats obtained via them. The players who did not use such programs were awarded with the first special all-class hat, the Cheater's Lament.

• 2009 Halloween special

The Halloween event update saw the release of two more special, all-class hats: the Ghastly Gibus, and the Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask. The Gibus was first announced on the Team Fortress 2 Blog and was offered to the first 10,319 users to access a hidden web page. The hat was subsequently made available to all, along with the Halloween mask by obtaining special Halloween achievements. The Gibus can still be worn by players today, however, the Halloween mask was limited to the event only and cannot be worn except during the appropriate event.

• November 2, 2009 Patch

Bill's Hat is added; another special, all-class hat, given to all players who pre-ordered the Valve game Left 4 Dead 2.

• January 27, 2010

Three new hats are added: The Towering Pillar of Hats, the Noble Amassment of Hats, and the Modest Pile of Hat. Special versions of these hats are awarded to the three winners of the Propaganda fanart contest, with first, second, and third placed ribbons attached.

• March 18, 2010

The first set of community hats from Valve's Contribute! site are patched in.

• April 15, 2010

All players who buy Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse within the first week of its release are rewarded with a special hat, Max's Severed Head, which is wearable by all classes.

• May 20, 2010

The second set of community hats from Valve's Contribute! site are patched in.

• July 19, 2010

Alien Swarm is released by Valve and with it a new piece of headgear wearable by all classes: the Alien Swarm Parasite. It is unlocked by completing the 'Hat Trick' achievement on Alien Swarm, making this the first item to be awarded for achievements in a game other than Team Fortress 2.

Trivia

• Sam's hat, resembling the eponymous character's hat from the Sam & Max series, was to have been included with Max's Severed Head, the Lugermorph, and the Big Kill as part of the week-long cross promotion for purchasing Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse via Steam. It was eventually cut from the game because the modelling team had trouble getting the hat to properly fit each class, though team-specific textures remain in the game files.
• Currently, the only hat that can be specifically crafted and reliably acquired is the Bonk Helm, made by crafting together two Bonk! Atomic Punches and a Batter's Helmet.
• Coincidentally, both former hats that are now miscellaneous items are fake facial hair.
• In the Mac Update, Valve referred to Team Fortress 2 as "America's #1 war-themed hat simulator".
