Talk:Haunted Metal Scrap

Find more than one?

Is there a way to find more than one of these? -Fooble 04:53, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Doesn't look like it. You can either craft the weapon or a haloween hat it seems. Moussekateer 05:08, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

craftability

probably too soon to tell, but you think this will be craftable after the event is over? --Zootch 08:45, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

It should be able to since its got no other restrictions on it for halloween besides non tradeable (unless its gifted...) Gamecrazy009 22:04, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

availability

I have to ask the question : can we drop many of this item or just one ?--Baptiste 'BapNesS' Carlier 11:29, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Seemingly just one GeneShark 11:31, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Page Title

Haunted Metal Scrap needs to be deleted and this page needs to be moved to it. Unusual is the quality, not the item name. -- Lagg 10:53, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I'd say it's part of the item name considering there seems to be no way to get regular Haunted Metal Scrap, but so long as this redirects to that page it doesn't make a difference GeneShark

Except it isn't part of the item name. There is no problem with creating a redirect page with the prefix in the title that redirects to the properly named page, we do that with most of the other items. The problem is that the redirect title should be the page title, not the other way around. We do not use the name prefix in any other non-redirect page title in the wiki. -- Lagg

Unusual Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker + 2 Refined Metal

How do we know this makes something? --Jordan 15:32, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Only Two Hats can be Crafted

It's been found by a number of people that you will never get the Frankenstein hat or cleaver from crafting the unusual metal. You only get the two Valve made hats (Skull and Voodoo). The two community hats are nothing more than normal hats. They drop like normal hats and crafting two hats together can produce them. There's no difference between the Cleaver and the Brain Slug as far as item drops and crafting are concerned -- Balladofwindfishes 21:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I haven't done it myself, but have read some sources that this can be done. Does anyone have definitive proof whether the Cadaver's Cranium and Horrific Headsplitter can indeed be crafted this way? WarZombie 18:11, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

I haven't found anything about crafting those two hats. I'd be kind of stupid to have a 50/50 chance of wasting your metal on a hat no different than any other hat. I know the Steam Forums would whine like no tommorow if one of them crafted a Headsplitter instead of the Voodoo hat, and I've personally seen a Headsplitter drop randomly, so they do drop like normal hats. Balladofwindfishes 13:52, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, you have a point, but I've seen more than one source that says this craft is possible, but again, I haven't tested this myself so I wouldn't know. As soon as I have the proper materials, I'll chime in with my results, but until then, all I can say is I don't know 100%. WarZombie 20:39, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

I've personally seen lots of the 4 refined + unusual metal crafts and they've always been jujus or skulls. In the game it seems there is a huge abundance of just those two hats so I would say they're either far more likely to be crafted or they're the only two that can be crafted. I'm leaning towards the latter, but obviously this is just my observation and I have no proof. Moussekateer 20:48, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Horsemann's Headtaker blueprint availability after Halloween event

Is there an official source that says that the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker can be crafted after the Halloween event? I know the page says so, but I want to know where that info came from/if it's truly reliable, so as not to accidentally miss the chance to get the Headtaker, and so that no one else will potentially miss their shot. Will-T 00:36, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

There's a couple emails from Robin floating around saying they will be active. ----Balladofwindfishes 12:11, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I get the feeling they will be. Not everybody has 2+ Reclaimed Metals spare all the time. Part of the game's design is that casual and long term players will both benefit, and the casual player will need more time to get the metal needed. I'm GUESSING. It'd be be great to hear it from an official source though. Noizeblaze 22:10, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I was told that they would be available after the event, but I'd have to dig up the post on the SomethingAwful forums. Suffice to say, they will be. Zoolooman 22:13, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Everything crafted seems tradeable now

Apparently, according to Steam forums, the 2 hats and the axe are now tradeable. My axe is tradeable according to my backpack, but I haven't actually tested if it's tradeable. I'm holding off editing it in to the other articles, because I don't want people believing it's tradeable if it's not, and the steam thread is a rumor. Here's the thread.

Cadaver's Cranium and Horrific Headsplitter

Are they craftable with the haunted metal scrap? I need to clarify since some wiki pages say they are and other wiki pages say there're not. BLUH 04:02, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Popular thinking is no, they are not. Moussekateer 04:05, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Has it been confirmed? BLUH 04:07, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

It's a difficult thing to confirm. I've seen 30 or so crafts and they've all been Jujus and Skulls. I don't know anyone who crafted the other two. I'm 99% sure it's only those two hats in my opinion but I can't prove it. Moussekateer 04:10, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

I think we might have to ask Robin. Then again, both of those hats can be bought from Mann-conomy store after Halloween. BLUH 04:27, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

What I do know for sure is the CC and HH can be randomly crafted, they're no different from the Hound Dog or Fedora. So despite their Halloween appearance I don't think they have anything to do with the unusual metal. Moussekateer 04:29, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
