The Mercenary is a Miscellaneous item, wearable by all classes, that was awarded by Valve to the Team Fortress 2 community as part of their 119th Update celebration. It is depicted as a rectangular bronze medal, worn on the character's chest, showing the class's emblem in the center. Other related badges include the Grizzled Veteran, Soldier of Fortune, and Primeval Warrior medals.
The Mercenary was awarded to players who played Team Fortress 2 for the first time – a year after its initial release until the week before the 119th Update – between October 10, 2008 and April 22, 2010. New players who installed the game after the initial release of the medals were still given the Mercenary badge.
The item description was written by crushilista for the Hat Describing Contest.

Update history
April 29, 2010 Patch (119th Update)
- The Mercenary was added to the game.
- Badge hire dates now display the time in GMT.
September 30, 2010 Patch (Mann-Conomy Update)
- [Undocumented] Added a community-contributed description for this miscellaneous item.
- Name Tags may now be used on this medal.
Trivia
- When the Mercenary was first released in-game, it was named the "Weekend Warrior". Because some players considered the implication that they only played on weekends or had a low play time as derogatory, the name was changed. The 119th Update celebration page changed along with the name to reflect this, as it was with the addition of the Primeval Warrior.
