Decorated weapons can also possess one of five different levels of exterior quality: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle Scarred. The exterior quality decreases from the perfect Factory New, to the extremely worn Battle Scarred. When equipping a Decorated weapon, the player can press the inspect key (Default key: {{key|F}}) to play an interruptible animation which examines the weapon from multiple angles, usually two (only visible in First Person).

Decorated quality is an item quality assigned to weapons with a special grade factor, exterior wear, and possible Strange counter and/or Unusual effect. Currently, the only methods to obtain a Decorated item is through random drops following submitting completed contracts and unboxing specific weapon cases. Decorated weapons unboxed from cases have a chance to be Strange, a rarer chance to be Unusual, and an extremely rare chance to be both. Strange variant adds a Stat Clock to the side of the weapon, which count kills (or ÜberCharges in case of the Medi Gun).

When holding a Decorated weapon, the player can press the inspect key (Default key: F) to trigger an interruptible animation which examines the weapon from different angles. Decorated weapons are purely cosmetic, and do not affect gameplay whatsoever.

This quality includes 6 levels of rarity, referred to as Grades. These ranks, in order of most common to rarest, are:

  • Civilian
  • Freelance
  • Mercenary
  • Commando
  • Assassin
  • Elite

Decorated weapons can also possess one of five different levels of exterior wear. These are:

  • Factory New
  • Minimal Wear
  • Field-Tested
  • Well-Worn
  • Battle Scarred

The exterior quality decreases from Factory New to Battle Scarred, with the former considered to be the most pristine with the latter being the most worn. As the grade decreases, scratches and eventually blood spatters begin to appear on a gradual scale in each decreasing wear. These features, as well as the pattern, differs in scale and rotation from player to player, as the game randomizes these when the item is first awarded. While the game generates a backpack item for the version of the decorated weapon the player owns, the Steam Community Market utilizes a shared backpack icon for each weapon with a particular exterior wear.

When mouse-hovering over a Decorated weapon in the Inventory, a detailed window will appear displaying a rotating model of the item. The window also displays the weapon's particular grade and exterior wear, as well as a list of the entirety of items found within the weapon's respective collection (any weapon the player owns in this collection will have a check mark next to its name on this list). Choosing to Inspect the weapon through the context menu will open a larger window of the weapon model which can be manually rotated.

The patterns and exterior qualities of Decorated weapons do not appear when running the game with dxlevel -80 or dxlevel -81. Instead of showing the decorations, they only appear as their stock counterpart. When running the game in these DirectX levels, the descriptions of Decorated weapons change, adding the extra string: "You are in DirectX 8, decorated weapons are incompatible and show as stock". Upon checkout at the Mann Co. Store, having a Gun Mettle Campaign Pass in the cart will cause the game to show a message warning the player that Decorated weapons do not work on DirectX 8.

In-game, Decorated weapons use the quality color of their grade.

In the Steam inventory, trading, and Steam Community Market, regardless of grade, the hexadecimal color code for Decorated weapons is #FAFAFA.

Grades

Main article: Grade

Decorated weapons come in six grades. Grade is intrinsic to the specific Decorated weapon, and serves as an indication of rarity. Therefore, it is not possible for an Elite Grade Barn Borner to exist, nor a Freelance Grade Sand Cannon.

Color Name Example
#B0C3D9 Civilian Grade Scattergun
#5E98D9 Freelance Grade Stickybomb Launcher
#4B69FF Mercenary Grade Minigun
#8847FF Commando Grade Flame Thrower
#D32CE6 Assassin Grade Sniper Rifle
#EB4B4B Elite Grade Rocket Launcher

It should also be noted that all levels of exterior wear can apply to any grade, so it is possible to have a Battle Scarred Elite grade weapon and Factory New Civilian grade weapon.

Festivizers

Following the December 22, 2015 Patch, players are now able to festivize their Decorated items with the Gun Mettle and Tough Break Festivizer. When applied onto a weapon, the item will acquire lights similar to those of existing festive weapons, as well as a Festive prefix next to the Skin's name as well as a Festivized item attribute.
