Trivia

• Originally, names for community unlockable weapons were grammatically incorrect, using names like “Community The Kritzkrieg.” Valve has since corrected this.
• Typically, these weapons are level 50 items, though there are some at 100. Like all other in-game items, levels have no effect on gameplay or the weapons.
• In some cases, a contributor was awarded one item, such as a Community Sniper Rifle, but later had it exchanged for another weapon, like a Community Huntsman. Initially, players were given Community weapons based on what their most played class was, but depending on the circumstances it has been possible to specify a weapon instead.
• Community weapons used to be tradable, but Valve released an update preventing this.
• Community weapons derived from the original set of weapons recieve an additional boost to their 'Phong' shading exponent, resulting in the weapon having a more glossy appearance.
