The Engineer on buying the game

The Proof of Purchase is a special headwear item wearable by all classes. It appears as an olive green Template:W with slight battle damage and Team Fortress 2 logo of a slightly darker shade emblazoned on the side. A narrow belt with a gold buckle extends around the back, over the wearer's neck.

This hat is given to players who purchased Team Fortress 2 before the Über Update on June 23, 2011[1], those who received a gift of the game[2], and those who activated a retail copy of the game.

Update history

June 23, 2011 Patch (Über Update)

  • The Proof of Purchase was added to the game.

Bugs

  • 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 visible on the Human Commando player model from the early "Invasion" version of Team Fortress 2, as well as the files that were leaked in 2003 with Half-Life 2's source code.
    • The hat can also be seen in two concept images that appear on the Artwork section of TeamFortress.com [1] [2]]
