Trade-Up is a feature that allows players to trade multiple unwanted items in their backpack for a chance at receiving a new, possibly better item. It is applicable only in specific situations.
Mann Co. Trade-Up
Available only for items of the Decorated quality, Mann Co. Trade-Up allows players to trade ten weapons or cosmetics of a certain Grade for a new item of the next higher grade. It is accessible via a sub-menu when checking the details of a Decorated weapon in the backpack.
Trade-Up requires ten weapons or cosmetics of the same grade. Weapons may be of any wear, but must all be of the same grade (Civilian, Freelance, Mercenary, etc.). Strange Decorated items may also be accepted, although Unusual items are prohibited.
After confirming the input of the required number of items, the player receives one item of the next higher grade. The resulting item is selected at random from one of the same collection(s) as the originating items; submitting multiple items from a single collection will guarantee receiving an item from the next higher grade of that collection. If all submitted items were Strange, then the output is also Strange.
In the case of Decorated weapons, the wear of the received weapon is calculated based on the average wear of all submitted weapons. Therefore, inputting ten Battle-Scarred Civilian Grade Decorated weapons will result in one Battle-Scarred Freelance Grade Decorated weapon; however, if ten Factory New Commando Grade Decorated weapons are used, then the result will be a Factory New Assassin Grade Decorated weapon.
Halloween Transmute
Available only during Scream Fortress 2015, Halloween Transmute allows players to trade three items for an untradable and uncraftable cosmetic item from a previous Scream Fortress event. It is accessible via a sub-menu when checking the details of the Soul Gargoyle.
Only certain items can be used in Halloween Transmute, regardless of trade, market or crafting restrictions of the submitted item. Excluded items include but are not limited to:
- Unique quality weapons
- Most Genuine items
- Community items
- Event-granted tools (e.g., Spellbook Magazine)
- Most Tools
- Metal
- Keys
- Crates
Once three items have been submitted, the player will receive a random cosmetic from a previous Scream Fortress event. The resulting item will be untradable and unusable in crafting.
