Trading is an in-game system allowing players to swap weapons, hats and misc items allowing players to obtain items that they desire. Some items, such as store-bought items and items given through gifts are 'untradable', meaning that they must remain on the original account that obtained them. Surprisingly, Promotional items such as Bill's Hat, the Lugermorph, the Big Kill, Max's Severed Head, the Lumbricus Lid and the Alien Swarm Parasite can be traded.

As of now, it is possible to trade with players on a players friends list and with other players in their current server. If one player has another player's Steam Community ID, then there is also an option to trade directly with that player. This makes it easy to trade with someone who isn't in the same server that you are.

Upon a player's first trade, he or she will receive a random item along with the items traded.

There is an option not to receive trade requests.

A special version of the Cheater's Lament was given out with every trade.

Untradable items

Due to the possibility of selling items outside of the Mann Co. Store for real world money, some items are not tradeable
