|  [http://www.teamfortress.com/classless/day01.php Classless Update]
 +
| ''Throughout history, men have worn hats as a way of showing how much better they are than other men. “I buy hats,” a behatted man seems to say. “I am better than you.”''
 +
''In wartime, hats were a useful way of conferring rank, and ensuring that casualties were confined to the lower classes (hence the famous command of “Don't fire till you see the tops of their heads” at the Battle of Bunker Hill by William Prescott, a general renowned for only shooting enemy combatants who were poor). During peacetime, hats have been instrumental for men to let the non-hatted know just who is wearing the hat around here.''

'''Hats''', or '''headwear''', are [[items]] that can be equipped in the head slot of the [[loadout]] screen. [[Valve]] introduced the first set of nine hats with the [[Sniper vs. Spy Update|''Sniper vs. Spy'' Update]] on {{Patch name|5|21|2009}}, with one hat for each class. The nine hats introduced were the [[Batter's Helmet]], [[Soldier's Stash]], [[Pyro's Beanie]], [[Demoman's Fro]], [[Football Helmet]], [[Mining Light]], [[Prussian Pickelhaube]], [[Trophy Belt]], and [[Fancy Fedora]]. Several [[updates]] have since added additional hats, including those designed by members of the ''Team Fortress 2'' community through the [[Steam Workshop]] or the former contribution page on the [[TF2 Official Website]].
 +
 
 +
There are currently a total of {{Itemcount|hats}} hats (excluding the {{Itemcount|misc}} [[Miscellaneous items]]). {{Itemcount|v}} can be obtained in [[Vintage]] quality, 13 can be obtained in [[Strange]] quality, {{Itemcount|g}} can be obtained in [[Genuine]] quality (see [[item quality distribution]]), and {{Itemcount|p}} of the hats can be painted {{Itemcount|pv}}  colors using different varieties of [[Paint Can]]s.
 +
 
 +
While most hats can be obtained through [[Random crafting recipes|crafting]], the [[item drop system]], or bought from the [[Mann Co. Store]], some hats are only available to players via other means. Multiple hats [[achievement items#Hats|can only be obtained]] by completing in-game [[achievements]]. Other hats have been added as [[Promotional items|promotions]] for various [[Steam]] games and events in the Steam Store. While it is possible to obtain most of these hats via [[trading]] with other players, there is no option to buy these hats from the [[Mann Co. Store]] (aside from those released with ''Total War: SHOGUN 2'', ''Deus Ex: Human Revolution'', and the QUAKECON Pack). Only players with the [[Account types|premium account type]] can receive hats randomly through the item drop system.
 +
 
 +
With the release of the [[Mann-Conomy Update]], [[Unusual]] quality versions of hats have a 1% chance of being "uncrated" when the player opens a [[Mann Co. Supply Crate]]. These hats function in exactly the same way as [[Unique]] hats except for the addition of 1 of 49 [[Particle effects#Unusual effects|unusual particle effects]], chosen at random when the hat is obtained.
 +
 
 +
Hats are purely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay. With the release of the {{Patch name|7|10|2013}}, [[Item sets]] from the [[Polycount Pack]] (with the exception of [[The Saharan Spy]] set, which adds custom particle effects whilst taunting) now only provide a visual cosmetic grave marker upon defeating your enemies. However, the [[Horseless Headless Horsemann's Head]] and the [[Saxton Hale Mask]] makes the wearer immune to the [[Horseless Headless Horsemann]]'s Boo [[taunts|taunt]]. Additionally, the [[Bootie Time]] and [[Jingle Belt]] make jingling sounds, possibly giving away the location of the wearer and making them more noticeable.
 +
 
 +
Some hats have the [[Holiday|holiday or event restrictions]], meaning those hats can't seen by everyone except in loadout when it's not in holiday or event times. Additionally, [[Pyroland]] items can only be seen by yourself and any other people who happen to be wearing an item that allows them to see in [[Pyrovision]] or is viewing spectate mode in pyrovision.
 +
 
 +
On January 10th 2013, a [http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=9714 blog post] was made, announcing that, after January 24th 2013, the original nine hats added in the [[Sniper vs. Spy Update]] would be retired, making them unobtainable through [[crafting]], [[Item drop system|random drops]], [[Mann Co. Supply Crate]]s (in [[Unusual]] quality only) or the [[Mann Co. Store]] any more after January 24th. The only source that was mentioned to be not being removed is existing Mann Co. Supply Crates with any of the hats listed as possible results.
 +
 
 +
As of the {{Patch name|12|20|2013}} "Head" and "Misc" slots for player loadouts have been merged together to form Cosmetic loadout slots. All items that were previously Head- or Misc-slot-specific can now be equipped in any Cosmetic slot.

Revision as of 03:08, 31 December 2013



“
Throughout history, men have worn hats as a way of showing how much better they are than other men. “I buy hats,” a behatted man seems to say. “I am better than you.” In wartime, hats were a useful way of conferring rank, and ensuring that casualties were confined to the lower classes (hence the famous command of “Don't fire till you see the tops of their heads” at the Battle of Bunker Hill by William Prescott, a general renowned for only shooting enemy combatants who were poor). During peacetime, hats have been instrumental for men to let the non-hatted know just who is wearing the hat around here.
”

Hats, or headwear, are items that can be equipped in the head slot of the loadout screen. Valve introduced the first set of nine hats with the Sniper vs. Spy Update on May 21, 2009 Patch, with one hat for each class. The nine hats introduced were the Batter's Helmet, Soldier's Stash, Pyro's Beanie, Demoman's Fro, Football Helmet, Mining Light, Prussian Pickelhaube, Trophy Belt, and Fancy Fedora. Several updates have since added additional hats, including those designed by members of the Team Fortress 2 community through the Steam Workshop or the former contribution page on the TF2 Official Website.

There are currently a total of hats (excluding the Miscellaneous items). 109 can be obtained in Vintage quality, 13 can be obtained in Strange quality, 299 can be obtained in Genuine quality (see item quality distribution), and 1294 of the hats can be painted 29 colors using different varieties of Paint Cans.

While most hats can be obtained through crafting, the item drop system, or bought from the Mann Co. Store, some hats are only available to players via other means. Multiple hats can only be obtained by completing in-game achievements. Other hats have been added as promotions for various Steam games and events in the Steam Store. While it is possible to obtain most of these hats via trading with other players, there is no option to buy these hats from the Mann Co. Store (aside from those released with Total War: SHOGUN 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and the QUAKECON Pack). Only players with the premium account type can receive hats randomly through the item drop system.

With the release of the Mann-Conomy Update, Unusual quality versions of hats have a 1% chance of being "uncrated" when the player opens a Mann Co. Supply Crate. These hats function in exactly the same way as Unique hats except for the addition of 1 of 49 unusual particle effects, chosen at random when the hat is obtained.

Hats are purely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay. With the release of the July 10, 2013 Patch, Item sets from the Polycount Pack (with the exception of The Saharan Spy set, which adds custom particle effects whilst taunting) now only provide a visual cosmetic grave marker upon defeating your enemies. However, the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Head and the Saxton Hale Mask makes the wearer immune to the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Boo taunt. Additionally, the Bootie Time and Jingle Belt make jingling sounds, possibly giving away the location of the wearer and making them more noticeable.

Some hats have the holiday or event restrictions, meaning those hats can't seen by everyone except in loadout when it's not in holiday or event times. Additionally, Pyroland items can only be seen by yourself and any other people who happen to be wearing an item that allows them to see in Pyrovision or is viewing spectate mode in pyrovision.

On January 10th 2013, a blog post was made, announcing that, after January 24th 2013, the original nine hats added in the Sniper vs. Spy Update would be retired, making them unobtainable through crafting, random drops, Mann Co. Supply Crates (in Unusual quality only) or the Mann Co. Store any more after January 24th. The only source that was mentioned to be not being removed is existing Mann Co. Supply Crates with any of the hats listed as possible results.

As of the December 20, 2013 Patch "Head" and "Misc" slots for player loadouts have been merged together to form Cosmetic loadout slots. All items that were previously Head- or Misc-slot-specific can now be equipped in any Cosmetic slot.
