The Camera Beard is an unlockable Miscellaneous item for the Spy. It appears as a film camera, cleverly hidden within a bushy, black, fake beard.
The Camera Beard was considered to be a hat in its own right, until the WAR! Update, in which it became a Miscellaneous item, allowing Spies to wear it with other hats. A few months after this change, it was reported that the Camera Beard was dropping at an alarming rate. Many users who were able to connect to Steam at the time received one.
On March 19, 2010, a patch was released that saw the Camera Beard (and the Medic's Physician's Procedure Mask) treated as a hat for the purposes of crafting, allowing it to be used as an ingredient in the "Rebuild Headgear" crafting recipe.
The item description was written by Codo. It was slightly edited by Valve.
Trivia
- This item is perhaps a tongue-in-cheek reference to real-world Spy micro-cameras, which are disguised as innocuous articles of clothing such as shirt buttons or wristwatches.
- Initially, the Camera Beard was rejected by the Spy for being too ridiculous in the Sniper vs. Spy Update Day 4, and he chose the Cloak and Dagger and Dead Ringer instead.
- The Mann Co. Store prices the Camera Beard at about 60% of the price listed in the Dapper Rogue Catalogue.
- Before Camera Beards were included in the "Rebuild Headgear" crafting recipe, you could craft three of them into a scrap metal.
