The Trophy Belt is a headwear item for the Sniper and was released with the Sniper vs Spy Update as the first hat available for the Sniper. It appears as the Sniper's regular slouch hat with a tan (rather than black) hat band holding several crocodile teeth.
Trivia
- The Trophy Belt could be seen before it was officially announced in Meet the Spy during the fight scene between the BLU Sniper and the RED Spy (Image).
- The tooth belt is similar to the hat worn by film character Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee, who popularized the 'rugged bushman' Australian stereotype. One of the Sniper's responses "Now this, is a knife!" also references a well-known scene from the film.
- The teeth likely belong to the Australian Saltwater crocodile, one of the more dangerous animals to inhabit the Northern Territory where the Sniper has been known to hunt wild game.
- The Australian CEO Saxton Hale wears a similar crocodile tooth-belt lining around his hat.
- Despite popular belief, the Trophy Belt actually refers to the band and teeth only. This can be proven with the aid of servers using the equip plugin, in which players can choose to wear a Sniper hat such as the Professional's Panama, whilst using the server plugin to equip the Trophy Belt at the same time. The teeth will wrap around the panama hat instead.
- This is the first of two Sniper hats that involves crocodile teeth, the other being Ol' Snaggletooth. Given Snaggletooth's name (Meaning a tooth that is broken or not in alignment with the others), and the large amounts of missing teeth and bottom jaw, it seems quite possible that the two hats come from the same animal.
- The hat description was written by Limeaide.
