The Chieftain's Challenge is an unlockable headwear item for the Soldier. It is a classic stereotypical Native American headdress, worn by chiefs from the early 1850s to the late 1910s.

Notes (about in game features)

• This hat is also obtainable from an opened Mann Co. Supply Crate. It can be found, with some luck, within Series #2 Crates.

• When a Soldier equipped with the Chieftain's Challenge is ÜberCharged, the back of the feather headdress becomes transparent. This transparency is a not-yet fixed bug .

Trivia

• A traditional headdress of Native Americans was made from eagle feathers. Feathers could be earned through different deeds done in war.
• When the Mann-Conomy update was first shipped, the Chieftain's Challenge name was misspelled as "Chieftan's Challenge". This was fixed in a patch shipped on October 6th, 2010.
• This hat looks very similar to the one submitted by Ruskeydoo for the the Polycount contest.
