Trivia
- This headgear is an homage to belts often given to practitioners of martial arts. Originally, the belts were white when first bestowed upon the pupil; over time, dirt, sweat and other bodily fluids would turn the belt to its darker or black hue. However, given Sniper's affinity for Jarate, the belt has simply yellowed.
- While equipped, the belt slightly alters Sniper's melee weapon taunt, in that he will perform the action as normal but in place of his standard hat or similarly-shaped alternative, he will remove and be holding onto literally nothing, and the belt will simply vanish for the duration of the taunt. (This also applies to similar "hat-less" or peculiarly shaped head items such as Ritzy Rick's Hair Fixative, the Ghastly Gibus, and Max's Severed Head)
- Unusual Effects with this item remain stationary while taunting with the Kukri, Tribalman's Shiv and the Bushwhacka.
- Even if recolored, the belt will retain its original yellow-hued namesake (unless the player also renames it, of course.)
