Trivia
- Beanies were popular among schoolchildren in the early to mid-20th century. Famous science fiction author Template:W made a whimsical addition to these caps with a plastic propeller attached to the crown. These propeller beanies saw a brief period of popularity before the hat eventually became associated with nerdiness and later social awkwardness and idiocy. The Pyro's wearing of this hat is likely a reference to his/her sociopathic tendencies and apparent lack of sanity, or it could hint to the age of the Pyro.
- The propeller at the top of a standard beanie has the ability to spin, but the Pyro's Beanie seems to lack this trait. Third-party models with spinning propellers are available, but like any custom model they won't work on any servers with sv_pure set to 2 and on many servers with sv_pure set to 1.
- The Pyro's Beanie is one of the few random drop hats that still lacks a description.
