Miscellaneous items (commonly abbreviated as Misc. items) are wearable items with their own 'Misc' section in the loadout screen, though they count as headgear for crafting purposes. Like hats, they have no effect on gameplay and exist for cosmetic purposes only. As they occupy their own equipment slot, they can be worn in conjunction with hats. Misc. items are either unlocked through achieving certain requirements, or dropped during in-game playtime.
In total, there are 13 misc. items, with only four classes as of yet possessing their own specific items.
History
- The first misc. item, the Soldier's Gentle Manne's Service Medal, is added to the game. The medal is awarded to the first 11,111 users who stumbled upon a hidden page on the Team Fortress blog, with each medal featuring a unique number. The medal cannot currently be obtained.
- The Camera Beard hat for the Spy becomes a misc. item, allowing it to be worn with other hats for the class. This increases its drop rate to that of normal weapons, resulting in a loss of its rare value and a significant increase in the amount of players that own it.
- The first set of community hats from Valve's Contribute! site are patched in, along with a new misc. item for the Medic, the Physician's Procedure Mask. The Camera Beard's drop rate is restored to the same drop rate as normal hats. Misc. items can now be used along with hats in the Rebuild Headgear recipe.
- The 119th Update
- The Grizzled Veteran, Soldier of Fortune and Mercenary medals are awarded to players depending on the date of their first play. They are the first misc. items that can be equipped by all classes.
- The Primeval Warrior medal is awarded to all players who participated in the original beta release of Team Fortress 2, with the medals of those eligible being changed accordingly.
- The Whiskered Gentleman hat for the Pyro is reassigned to the Misc. slot, so that it may be worn with other hats.
- The Mac Update
- The Earbuds are awarded to players who launched TF2 on a Mac between June 10, 2010 and June 14, 2010.
- June 28th, 2010
- A Greentooth (Polycount icon) pin is revealed by Polycount as a misc item available to community members who submitted entries for the Polycount Pack contest. The item was contributed by Polycount member DKK and is expected to be released alongside the Polycount Pack.
- The Engineer Update
- A second Misc. slot is added, though no items have been released for the slot as of yet.
- August 9th, 2010
- Four medals are revealed for the ETF2L Highlander Tournament: first place, second place, third place, and participant.
- September 30th, 2010
- The second Misc. slot is removed and is replaced by an Action slot. Four badges are available by playing the Dueling Mini-Game and winning.

Crafting
Because of the special nature of most Misc. items, they are generally incompatible with the crafting system. Most of them cannot be crafted into other items, or crafted themselves from other items. The exceptions are Misc. items that can be found in-game through the item drop system. These items are treated exactly the same as hats. Meaning they can be crafted using any blueprints that may create a hat, or used in place of a hat in blueprints that require a hat. These are the current Misc. items that function as hats, in order of their addition to the game:
These items are considered hats, but they are placed in the miscellaneous slot because they don't take up space on top of the head. This is to allow players with these items to wear them at the same time as a traditional hat.
A rumor existed that a Misc. Slot Token appeared for crafting purposes soon after the Camera Beard was reassigned to the Misc. slot. The rumor told that someone could craft four camera beards together to earn this token. It was later said that a Misc. slot token could be combined with a Soldier token to craft the Gentle Manne's Service Medal. This is false. There are still some unused slot tokens in the crafting system, but again, the Misc. token does not exist.
