All men agree that there's no greater shame than to be outcoifed by someone. Rich men spend millions of dollars every year to ensure their scalp is graced by the greatest gathering of hair imaginable. Unfortunately the Heavy has not been able to join this tradition. No longer! With this deceptively unrealistic toupé you'll fit right in!
— Fancy Vs. Nasty update description

The Coupe D'isaster is a community-created headwear item for the Heavy and was released as a part of the Australian Christmas update. It appears as a badly-done black Toupée, hence the reference to disaster in its name.

Previous Changes

December 20, 2010 (item server update): Coupe D'isaster is added to the Mann Co. Store, made craftable, and included in random drops. December 22, 2010: Coupe D'isaster is made paintable.

Trivia

  • Before being officially included in-game during the Australian Christmas event, the Coupe D'isaster was released as a downloadable skin in the Fancy vs. Nasty Update created by Mister Royzo.
  • Coupe means cut in French and may be a pun on "haircut" as the item is a hairpiece.
  • The name could be a reference to the other French term "coup de grâce", a death blow intended to end the suffering of a wounded creature or a defeated/helpless opponent.
