Shotgun
Strange Shotgun - Kills: 0
Introduced in the Über Update, Strange quality weapons are found by opening Mann Co. Supply Crates of a certain series. Strange weapons track certain actions which are recorded as an item attribute. Some Strange weapons have more than one counter that tracks another associated action. Secondary counters do not count toward rank progress. Prefixes of Strange weapons will automatically change based on the primary counter's rank. Every time the weapon levels up - the message appears in the chat box notifying the players on the server.
The hexadecimal color code for Strange items is #CF6A32.
Ranks
All Strange weapons start with an initial prefix of Strange, however this is not a rank itself. Trading a Strange weapon will cause its counter to reset to zero and its prefix to reset to Strange, unless Gift Wrap is used.
| Rank | Kills | Name |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | Strange |
| 1 | 10 | Unremarkable |
| 2 | 25 | Scarcely Lethal |
| 3 | 45 | Mildly Menacing |
| 4 | 70 | Somewhat Threatening |
| 5 | 100 | Uncharitable |
| 6 | 135 | Notably Dangerous |
| 7 | 175 | Sufficiently Lethal |
| 8 | 225 | Truly Feared |
| 9 | 275 | Spectacularly Lethal |
| 10 | 350 | Gore-Spattered |
| 11 | 500 | Wicked Nasty |
| 12 | 750 | Positively Inhumane |
| 13 | 999 | Totally Ordinary |
| 14 | 1000 | Face-Melting |
| 15 | 1500 | Rage-Inducing |
| 16 | 2500 | Server-Clearing |
| 17 | 5000 | Epic |
| 18 | 7500 | Legendary |
| 19 | 7616 | Australian |
| 20 | 8500 | Hale's Own |
Notes
- Killing a teammate while friendly fire is enabled will increase your kill total with that weapon by one, as though it were a normal kill.
- The following actions do not increase the total kill count:
- Activating the Cloak of a Spy who is using the Dead Ringer.
- Any action involving bots.
- Killing yourself with a Strange weapon.
- Killing an enemy with a compression blast.
- Killing an enemy with a taunt.
- Kills are counted together for classes that share the same Strange weapon.
- Using a Name Tag will change the name of the Strange weapon, but the weapon will still retain its rank and counter. Its current rank is displayed under the name of the weapon in light grey text.
Bugs
- Counters do not update in-game when you inspect another player's Strange weapon on the Deathcam.
- If a Strange weapon goes up a rank, it will appear to have the original rank prefix when switching weapons until the player respawns.
- It is possible to accumulate kills on the Wrench, Gunslinger, or Jag by killing yourself with the Wrangler.
- The Eyelander levels up only on kills, rather than total heads collected. Therefore killing someone with heads, such as another Demoman with the Eyelander (and all variants) or a Sniper with the Bazaar Bargain will only yield one kill.
- The Ullapool Caber will only count kills made with a melee attack, not a detonation.
