You can still currently obtain the Ellis Hat and Frying Pan by purchasing L4D2. Not sure if it's specific to the Give & Get event, but both myself and a friend purchased L4D2 last night and got it. 22 03:42, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
I added this to the page. seb26 [talk] 01:08, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- You will probably get this by buying the new DLC - The Sacrifice for L4D or L4D2, but that's just my guess.CANPoo 13:26, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- Doubt it, since the DLC is free. BarnabasHale 14:29, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
Or maybe..another we get it by doing a achievement? Rong 13:50, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- The hat, at this time, is not being rewarded from completing the "Supreme Sacrifice" achievement for either L4D or L4D2. I have completed both, and at the time of writing this, received nothing. Hobolegs 22:55, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
- I also have the "Kill Bill" achievement, and no hat from that either. The survivors are missing dialogue in the sacrifice though, despite the sound files being there, so maybe it will come after they do the patch that fixes their update. Vercci 23:49, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
- Has anyone yet tried finishing the No Mercy campaign in L4D2? Mrnoj 07:04, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
It might also be worth noting that the default color of the hat doesn't match up to how Ellis' hat looks in L4D2. Ensign Epic 17:34, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
I can't see the skeleton with the hat on the sacrifice web page. Does anyone have a screenshot?
17:36 6-10-10 (UTC) someone else notice that there are many bats in the campaing ? conclusion sandman ?
- I have noticed that there are a lot of bats in several of the stages in l4d2. I wouldn't consider that too odd. Mrnoj 18:55, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
- I had purchase Left 4 Dead yesterday and for my surprise, I reveive Ellis' Cap and Frying Pan. I think that the items becames with the game for always. I think that it should be in the article. Jag Gentleman 13:44, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Paintable
It's odd, really. The value is at "1" in items_game.txt, but there's no change in the paint preview. Overall, it looks average.
-- Vi3trice (talk) 16:25, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- The item is not paintable. The material's .vmt does not contain the code required to make the item paintable. I had set the tags of this article to unpaintable because in its current state it is impossible to apply paint to it. This change was reverted in revision 11187 by RedError 404.

Promo
http://www.l4d.com/sacrifice/index3.html#tf2_content_container it's a promo item Hyenadip
Initial Quote
Just a sugeration: I think that the line "Hey, this is like TF2!" fits better. And... doesnt say bad words. Personally, I find that a little shocking with the article style. Just an opinion. Sr Domi 19:53, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
- "And now, he is here to fuck us!" --The Spy. Though I do think the quote you have suggested would be a lot funnier. -- En Ex (talk) 20:00, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I think that the line "This is like TF2" in an obvious TF2 wiki would be funny and a reference about this game in another game would be better and fits greatly. Sr Domi 20:19, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
Trivia Addition
- Do you think we should add the fact this is given out alongside the frying pan? Or, in the article after 4pm tomorrow, we can say "...<It> was given out alongside the Frying Pan to commemorate L4D 2's mac update." And somewhere we add the blog post links for TF2: http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4441&p=1 and L4D 2: http://www.l4d.com/blog/post.php?id=4438
Note: I put this here because I haven't made an official post before, and I want to do it correctly.
Irritated
So far, I haven't been able to get this hat. I've owned Left 4 Dead 2 for several months. Are we -sure- it's being awarded to pre-owners? I'm more than slightly anxious. --Fragment of Nothing 00:07, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yes. It might take some time, there's a lot of players that have to be processed. -RJ 00:15, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- My brother got the cap and frying pan, and he's owned L4D2 for a while. Seen here: [1] (He hasn't played yet to get them properly put into the backpack.) I haven't gotten mine yet, but I now have definite proof that they're going out to those who already own the game. I guess all we can do is wait until they process everyone... I'd expect them to all be out within a week or two. Will-T 22:36, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah I preordered the game and I'm still waiting on mine.--Jordan 15:15, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- Same. I preordered this game before it came out (got Bill's Hat) and I have yet to receive the hat or the frying pan. I still have patience left within me to wait a couple more days... if I don't get it then, I guess I will contact Valve and see what's up. Pwrkaril 19:05, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- I don't have mine either, I suppose they are going backwards from the people who just got the game in the promotion all the way to the folks who pre-ordered it. Hopefully it wont take too long to do though Scatmanjohn 19:10, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, it's been dropping late for a lot of people. But this is not a place to complain to Valve about the drop system, and it is not a forum either, so please discuss this outside of the Wiki. Thanks :3 — Wind 20:32, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- It's written on the item page: "anyone who owned Left 4 Dead 2 prior to the announcement would receive the item within a few days of the initial release". So they're giving the 2 items to the new owners first and go back the list, it might take some time. As a matter of fact, I just bought it, and it took 3 days to find them... So just be patient.

This Hat
Provides the Scout with such a defined wrinkly forehead and perverted face, I will be naming it 'Wrinkly Pervert Hat'. That is all.--Focusknock 08:31, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
Page Problem
Is it just me or does the Hat details change from page where the hat info is shown to discussion? Page says not able to trade while this page says it can be. If asked I will upload the Print Screen Picture. Ninja0Pain 01:09, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
- This is the discussion page. The Ellis' Cap is not able to be traded. General coolio 01:11, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Trading
I realize that the October 12th patch notes say that the hat and pan are tradable but they're still un-tradable ingame as of October 19. Spar13 18:43, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- There seems to have been an error or bug in whatever method Valve used to turn them into tradable items: some of them are tradable, some of them aren't. -RJ 18:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
Added some information
Added the date made tradable. Rageguy 21:39, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Which it's the file?
I need the original name of the file (that wav with the "Dude, this is just like TF2), to get the spanish one. And then adding it to the obvious article.Sr Domi 18:38, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Related Merchandise Section
Valve recently added the Red Ellis Hat to the steam store! Since the scout has this section, why not this page? -= M-NINJA =- 18:10, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- Would just need to drop this at the bottom! All i need is the green light before i do so, i dislike being yelled at. -= M-NINJA

Little question about the name
Hi there, not a big deal but I was just wondering: shouldn't the name of the cap be Ellis's cap? As the New Oxford American Dictionary states: 's is denoting possession in singular nouns, also in plural nouns not having a final -s: the car's engine | Mrs. Ross's son | the children's teacher. Well, the wiki will of course use the term which is official (that currently being Ellis' Cap), but I just wanted to point that out. Grammar Nazis, your opinion is welcome! BadDog 03:46, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
- Since the use of apostrophes varies so much, I don't think there is much need for debate on this one. People will know that this is a cap belonging to Ellis. JakeSanchard 14:13, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
vintage?
Are some ellis caps vintage? In one of the discussions at the top of the page, the words ellis cap is in blue. Thespy 00:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
Clipping Bug?
I just noticed today that when a character is in humiliation with the Ellis Hat equiped, the character's head clips through the top of the hat. I only saw this with the Sniper, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this either or if it was enough to put in the "Bugs" section of the page. Fate Soul Blake 00:57, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Regarding worthlessness
could we talk about how this item is worthless on the trading market, even though it's a hat? i feel it should be mentioned. also, perhaps we could add a category of promo hats that can be found via drop. or whatever it is about this hat that makes it worthles. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by DJLO (talk) • (contribs) 17:30, 8 September 2011
- No, we don't put hat trade values on the wiki, as they are subjective. Balladofwindfishes 09:32, 8 September 2011 (PDT)
Droppable and Craftable
We need confirmation if this hat is droppable and can be crafted to update the Availability information.
Unofficially, I heard people are getting them from drops.

By saying that those who own L4D2 will obtain the hat, it implies that only users who owned it before a specific date will be granted one.
Stain on Cap
If you look closely, there is a boomer/gut stain on the cap. Should this be noted in the description? MaxStatus 19:41, 29 April 2013 (PDT)
Free L4D2
I 'bought' it a few days ago and haven't received either promotional item. Bug on my end or is everyone else having the same problem? Relk Cehi (talk) 09:10, 28 December 2013 (PST)
- If you got the game free you won't receive the promo items. Its the same getting the game on a free weekend. You have to BUY it to receive promos. It's most likely intentional that you got nothing when it was free Ashes (talk) 13:00, 28 December 2013 (PST)
Normal Ellis' Cap
There exists one normal Ellis' Cap -- i.e. not unique, but normal, as in stock weapons. Just thought that was worth mentioning. Backpack.tf stats Backpack it's in, pg. 30 Barackollama (talk) 18:37, 30 July 2014 (PDT)
