Trivia
- Umbrella hats are commonly worn by golfers, beachgoers or other individuals who need to keep rain or sunlight off their faces while keeping both hands free.
- Despite the description, the Hard Counter offers no protection from Jarate.
- "Hard Counter" is a term used mostly in online gaming that describes one thing (skill/weapon/equipment) that completely counters another (which is ironic, considering this hat is supposed to give the Heavy protection from one of his hard counters, the Sniper).
- The shape and pattern of the Hard Counter closely resembles the emblem of the Umbrella Corporation from the Resident Evil series, and even more so when painted white.
