Strange Part
“ | Only found in crates, Strange Parts will help you study specific aspects of (what I charitably call) your performance in battle by letting you customize your favorite Strange weapon. Now you're free to track the number of enemies you gib, projectiles you reflect, heads you've shot, and more.

Strange Parts are exclusive tools that are only obtainable via crates. Strange Parts can only be used on Strange weapons. They allow players to track additional statistics such as number of headshot kills or buildings destroyed.
Up to three Strange Parts can be applied onto one Strange weapon. Certain Strange Parts cannot be used on certain weapons; for example, the Headshot tool cannot be used on a Strange Wrench. When applied, it will not count any previous stats. Strange Parts can be removed from a weapon using the Restore button in the backpack; however, a part which has been removed will not be returned to the player, and instead will be permanently lost.
Variants
Certain parts require certain weapons, below is a list of the restrictions:

Notes
- Any parts applied to Engineer wrenches will only count actions with the Wrench and not with any built Sentry Guns.
- Destroyed Sappers do not count towards the Buildings Destroyed counter.
- Servers using an altered
tf_playergib
setting will not change the way the Gib Kills counter is counted, only kills that would normally gib will still be counted. - The "Critical Kills" Strange part does not count reflected kills when reflecting crit projectiles with the Flamethrower.
Demonstration
Bugs
- Grenades, Stickybombs, Jarate, Mad Milk, Balls, and Sentry Gun rockets do not increase the Projectiles Reflected counter when reflected.
- The "Buildings Destroyed" Strange part is usable on weapons that deal no damage to buildings.
