Reskins are weapons that differ in their visual appearance, yet share the same stats and functions of pre-existing weapons. Though many unofficial reskins exist, the table below is a list of all official reskins in the game.
Most of the re-skined weapons are promotional, purchased or special items. Promotional items, such as the Big Kill, are re-skins existing weapons with no new features. Special items, such as the Golden Wrench, are re-skins of the existing items, with an added cosmetic effect. There are even some re-skins, such as the Nessie's Nine Iron, which are not promotions and arn't craftable, but do drop normally.

Trivia
- It was stated in an early press release that the Sun-on-a-Stick and Sharpened Volcano Fragment were going to be reskins for the Boston Basher and Axtinguisher, respectively.[1]
- The Lugermorph was initially only able to be equipped by the Scout, despite being a reskin for the Pistol, which can also be used by the Engineer. It was not until the July 1, 2010 Patch that this was fixed, and the Engineer was granted the ability to use the weapon.
