Bill's Hat is a headwear item for all classes. It styled after the hat Bill wore in Left 4 Dead. It appears as a slightly worn brown-colored veteran's beret when the player joins the RED team, or grey-colored beret when the player joins the BLU team. Both variations possess a yellow shield insignia, or "flash", indicating that Bill was a member of the Template:W. The hat was awarded to players that had pre-ordered the Valve title Left 4 Dead 2 on Steam or for PC through Template:W.
The hat description was written by Calvary for the Hat Describing Contest.
