The Hat of Undeniable Wealth And Respect, often abbreviated as HOUWAR, is a promotional cosmetic item, wearable by all classes. It is a worn-out tricorne hat worn backwards, topped with a wobbly cock-eyed gray colored octopus with orange spots grasping a small treasure chest.
This hat was awarded to players that completed all 28 objectives in The Great Steam Treasure Hunt. Users who completed the requisite number of objectives were required to visit the promotion page and click the "Unlock Hat" button in order to have the hat added to their backpack. If the user already had the Bounty Hat or Treasure Hat, it was upgraded to the Hat of Undeniable Wealth And Respect when all 28 objectives were completed.
When players equipped with this item kill an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows everyone in Pyroland that it gets the assist, with its custom name if it has one.
