Decorated quality is the item quality assigned weapons which are obtained from contracts and opening weapon cases. This quality includes 6 forms of rarity: Civilian, Freelance, Mercenary, Commando, Assassin, and Elite. It also has a exterior quality, which ranges from Factory-New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. The exterior quality decreases from the perfect Factory-New, to the extremely worn Battle-Scarred. When equipping a weapon of this quality, the player can press the key bound to (+inspect) to play an interruptible animation which examines the weapon from multiple angles (only visible in First Person). Rarity and exterior factors are purely cosmetic, and do not effect gameplay whatsoever.
Decorated weapons unboxed from weapon cases have a chance to be Strange, a rarer chance to be Unusual, and an extremely rare chance to be both. The Strange variant adds a clock to the side of the weapon, meant to count kills, and the Unusual variant adds an effect to the weapon, typically at the end of, or on the barrel of the weapon. When the item is both Strange and Unusual, both the clock and visual effects are included. This video shows all of the current Unusual weapon effects.
