Added in the Gun Mettle Update, Decorated weapons are unique items with a skin, an exterior quality, a grade factor, and possible Strange counter and/or Unusual effect.
The Decorated quality is an item quality assigned to weapons which are obtained from submitting completed contracts, or opening weapon cases obtained from submitting completed contracts. This quality includes 6 levels of rarity, referred to as Grades : Civilian, Freelance, Mercenary, Commando, Assassin, and Elite. It also has an exterior quality: 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 inspect key (Default key: F) to play an interruptible animation which examines the weapon from multiple angles, usually two (only visible in First Person). Decorated weapons are purely cosmetic, and do not affect 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, which count kills (or ÜberCharges in case of the Medi Gun). The Unusual variant adds a particle 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 shown.
The Pattern positions, scales and rotations of each Decorated Weapon may differ from player to player, as the game randomizes these when the player gets awarded with one (from Weapon Cases or by completing contracts). The same thing happens with the blood spot on some of the Decorated weapons (such as the American Pastoral), and exterior qualities that aren't Factory New. The backpack icons on Steam Community Market aren't affected by this.
When mouse-hovering over a Decorated weapon in the Inventory, a detailed window will appear showing a rotating model of the weapon, its specific details such as grade and exterior wear, and a list of the collection it is included in (checking off other weapons in the collection that are also owned). Choosing to Inspect the weapon will open a larger window of the weapon model which may be manually rotated.
The decorations and exterior qualities do not appear when running the game with dxlevel -80 or dxlevel -81. Instead of showing the decorations, they only appear as their stock counterpart. When running the game in these DirectX levels, the descriptions of Decorated weapons change, adding the extra line: "You are in DirectX 8, decorated weapons are incompatible and show as stock". Upon checkout at the Mann Co. Store, having a Gun Mettle Campaign Pass in the cart will cause the game to show a message warning the player that Decorated weapons do not work on DirectX 8.
In-game, Decorated weapons use the quality color of their grade.
In the Steam inventory, trading, and Steam Community Market, regardless of grade, the hexadecimal color code for Decorated weapons is #FAFAFA.

Weapon Grades
Decorated weapons come in six grades. They do not affect gameplay whatsoever, and only serve as a cosmetic feature. Each grade has its own unique color, which starts at a light blue and ends at a dark red.
| Color | Name | Example |
|---|---|---|
| #B0C3D9 | Civilian Grade | Scattergun |
| #5E98D9 | Freelance Grade | Stickybomb Launcher |
| #4B69FF | Mercenary Grade | Minigun |
| #8847FF | Commando Grade | Flame Thrower |
| #D32CE6 | Assassin Grade | Sniper Rifle |
| #EB4B4B | Elite Grade | Rocket Launcher |
Weapon unboxed from the Concealed Killer and Powerhouse Weapons Cases only come in Mercenary grade and higher, while weapons from the Teufort and Craftsman collections only come in Commando grade and lower. It should also be noted that all exterior qualities can apply to any grade, so it is possible to have a Battle Scarred Elite grade weapon and Factory New Civilian grade weapon.
Weapon grades only apply to decorated weapons, and are not applied to other item or quality types.
Unusual Effects
Decorated weapons of the Unusual variant will have a particle effect attached to the end of the barrel. Some Unusual effects can also travel down the whole length of the barrel.
