The Spy after solving a mystery

The Private Eye is a headwear item for the Spy and Demoman. It is a Template:W hat with the Mann Co. label stitched on the front and two team-colored matches sticking out of the right side, with a third sticking out above them with a burnt-out head.

Bugs

  • When this item is equipped on the Demoman, it clips with the back of his head.
  • At the Mann. Co, the Private Eye doesnt show for the Spy but only the Demoman, it is because of the recent update.

Trivia

  • The Private Eye was contributed by the Lead Character Artist at Template:W.[2]
  • The deerstalker is a hat generally worn for stalking deer, as its name implies. However, it's most commonly associated with fictional English private detective Template:W, who is usually depicted as wearing one (even though he was never officially described as doing so).
  • Private Eye is slang for Template:W. The term was made popular in detective movies.
