Unreleased items
Certain evidence of unreleased items can be found within the game files or by official sources. It is unclear why they have not been released as of yet.
Weapons and Tools
- A community-contributed hat known as the Legionaire's Lid (according to the tf_english.txt file) exists in the "GCF" complete with description.
- In the December 23, 2010 Patch,
tf_english.txtstrings for a new Demoman shield, known as the Heraldic Targe, and a new tool, the Gadget Token, were revealed. Robin Walker announced that the Gadget Token was "an experiment we tested internally, but didn't like enough to ship", therefore the Gadget Token may never be released.
- In the Team Fortress 2 is Free to Play video, there are several glimpses of unreleased weapons being used in gameplay.
- August 10, 2012 Patch added two items, Steam Translation Package and Steam Translation Bundle. According to their name they should be used for Steam Translation Server translators. Both items have no models/textures and their functionality is unknown.
Pubbers vs Pros Medal
The Pubbers vs Pros Medal is a Miscellaneous item created by Lord Ned of TF2Maps to reward participants of the Pubstars vs Pros event. This medal is similar to the Polycount Pin as it will only be available to those who compete within the event.

Other Polycount contest entries
Valve initially selected five entries from the Polycount Contest out of a total of 76. Robin Walker has stated that nearly half of the entries were of high enough quality to be used in-game, and Valve has since implemented an additional six entries.[1][2][3] All of the entries can be found here.
Dr. Grordbort's Packs
The WETA Workshop, known for making Dr. Grordbort's Victory Pack, Dr. Grordbort's Brainiac Pack and Dr. Grordbort's Moonman Pack item sets for TF2, are now working on two new packs, the Dr. Grordbort's Rocketboy Pack for the Scout, and the Dr. Grordbort's Man of Science Pack for the Medic. Voting is open for their addition to the game. Both sets follow the pattern of the other Grordbort sets, being retro-futuristic styled items.
Man Of Science Pack
Five items were announced for this set. So far, there are two weapons in this set: a primary weapon, the Mercy Killer, is a laser gun; and the secondary weapon, the Anti-Deathray, seems to be a ray-based Medi Gun. Both were already designed, but have no models so far. However, the three cosmetic items were already modeled and submited to the Steam Workshop, being the Negative Prognosis, a replacement for the backpack, the Second Opinion - Utility Belt, a set of surgical tools wrapped to the Medic's waist, and the Scientific Science Goggles of Science, a pair of goggles with multiple lens.

Five items were announced for this set. So far, there are two weapons in this set: a primary weapon, the Mule Molestor 600, is a double-barrel portable cannon; and the secondary weapon, the Saboteur 66, is a small ray-gun. Both were already designed, but have no models so far. However, the three cosmetic items were already modeled and submited to the Steam Workshop, being the Gloves of Progress, a pair of black gloves, the Ballistic Trajectory, a jetpack replacing the backpack, and the Futuristic 'Future Hat' of the Future, a helmet.

Large-scale performance update
Shortly after the Mann-Conomy Update, Robin Walker discussed in an email with one of the community contributors a large-scale performance update in the works which would replace all W (World) and V (View) models with the new C (Combination) model type, as well as an update to the existing C models and the new C models with LODs. This update would significantly increase performance and allow for a greater range of community and Valve item replacements in later updates. In the updates released since this email was sent, a sizable portion of the game's C models have received LODs. Many more, however, are still to come.
Training Mode for the remaining classes
Training Mode for the remaining classes (Scout, Pyro, Heavy, Medic, Sniper) is to be released in a future update.
