Obtaining
Beginning October 6, 2010, Ellis' Cap, along with the Frying Pan, was awarded to anyone who purchased Left 4 Dead 2 before Thursday, October 7, 2010, 4pm Template:W, as well as anyone who had already purchased the game. According to "Sacrifice: TF2 Items" on the Left 4 Dead Blog, anyone who owned Left 4 Dead 2 prior to the announcement would receive the item within a few days of the initial release. This has proven to be quite unexpected to Valve when the hats were not dropping. They fixed everything they could and some people got them based on luck of the draw or due to their cap limit not being reached. Currently about 80% of players have obtained the items from this event. If you have not obtained your Ellis' Cap or Frying Pan and you had Left 4 Dead 2 and Team Fortress 2 before October 7th do not worry! It will be given to you, just wait a few days.
Trivia
- This is the second Left 4 Dead related hat in Team Fortress 2 that is available for all classes, the first being Bill's Hat.
- In Left 4 Dead 2, Ellis' Cap is actually navy blue. However, the item's RED version is displayed in the Backpack due to consistency issues.
