Festive weapons

"Festive" redirects here. For the Festive Winter Crate, see Mann Co. Supply Crate.

Festive Scattergun
Limited Level 1 Scattergun

Festive weapons are a special classification of items. They are Weapons for each class wrapped in battery-powered blinking Christmas lights, similar to the ones found on the Industrial Festivizer. The lights are green, yellow, and team-colored, with the backpack icons depicting both red and blue colored lights being on the weapons at the same time. The only exception is the Festive Stickybomb Launcher's lights, which can be changed to completely white when its "Festive" style is selected. Some also have dangling bells, light bulbs, baubles, ribbons, and may also feature a different texture.

Festive weapons function exactly the same as normal weapons. The visual additions are purely cosmetic changes, and have no effect on gameplay. They were added to the game during the Australian Christmas 2011 update, the Mecha Update, and also during the Smissmas 2013, Smissmas 2014, Smissmas 2016, and Smissmas 2017 event updates.

Festive weapons could be found by unlocking Naughty Winter Crate, Naughty Winter Crate 2012, Naughty Winter Crate 2013, and Naughty Winter Crate 2014, and are available in both Unique and Strange qualities, though Strange versions are much rarer. Several weapons can also be turned into Festive weapons by the use of the Festivizer tool. Unlike the Festive items from the crates, Festive weapons from applying the Festivizer will have the prefix Festivized instead.
