Community weapons are unique in-game weapons or items given by Valve to individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the Team Fortress 2 community, such as making a map that is made official, creating competitive game guides, and designing map themes.
These items are easily identified by their sparkling particle effect, both in first-person view and world view. The weapons also have their name in dark green text, along with the word “Community” in front of them, e.g. “Community Flamethrower.”
There are two kinds of Community items: Community and Self-Made, and they are not limited to just weapons, for they also can affect hats. All Community and Self-Made items are level 50, and have two different descriptions. They are not to be confused for Developer weapons.
Self-made items
Self-made items are special versions of community-made items that are given to the contributors who created them. They are essentially altered versions of normal Community weapons (above), retaining their sparkly attributes and with the added line "I made this!" in their item description.

Trivia
- Originally, names for community unlockable weapons 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.
- The Community Weapons actually had a hidden damage bonus only viewable by using the debug version of the backpack examiner. It was later removed and replaced by the sparkle effect.
