Update history
June 23, 2011 Patch (Über Update)
- The Proof of Purchase was added to the game.
Bugs
- The Proof of Purchase clips significantly when taunting with a melee weapon as Sniper. [1]
- When a Spy disguises as a victim wearing the Proof of Purchase, the hat will clip with the disguise's head.
- The Proof of Purchase disappears upon death.
Trivia
- The Template:W was also referred to as the Tin Helmet or Doughboy helmet. Less affectionately, it was called a Shrapnel Helmet for its tendency to break when hit by a bullet. The hat was famous during the World Wars, in both of which the Allies used the Brodie Helmet.
- The description references the hat's origins. The hat itself is from the TF2 Alpha that was leaked in 2003 with Half-Life 2's beta. It was worn by the Commando class, what seemed to be the Soldier class at the time. The character design can be found in the artwork section of the TF2 official website in the concept art section.
