Reskins
Reskins are weapons that differ in their visual appearance, yet share the same stats and functions of pre-existing weapons. Though many unofficial reskins exist, the table below is a list of all official reskins in the game.
Most of the reskinned weapons are promotional, purchased or special items. Promotional items, such as the Big Kill, are reskins of existing weapons with no new features. Special items, such as the Golden Wrench, are reskins of the existing items with an added cosmetic effect.
