Decorated quality is an item quality assigned to weapons with a special grade factor, exterior wear, and possible Strange counter and/or Unusual effect. Currently, the only methods to obtain a Decorated item is through random drops following submitting completed contracts and unboxing specific weapon cases. Decorated weapons unboxed from cases have a chance to be Strange, a rarer chance to be Unusual, and an extremely rare chance to be both. Strange variants add a Stat Clock to the side of the weapon, which count kills (or ÜberCharges in case of the Medi Gun).
When holding a Decorated weapon, the player can press the inspect key (Default key: F) to trigger an interruptible animation which examines the weapon from different angles. Decorated weapons are purely cosmetic, and do not affect gameplay whatsoever.
This quality includes 6 levels of rarity, referred to as Grades. These ranks, in order of rarest to most common, are:
- Elite EB4B4B
- Assassin D32CE6
- Commando 8847FF
- Mercenary 4B69FF
- Freelance 5E98D9
- Civilian B0C3D9
Decorated weapons can also possess one of five different levels of exterior wear. These levels of wear, in order of least worn to most worn, are:
- Factory New
- Minimal Wear
- Field-Tested
- Well-Worn
- Battle Scarred
The exterior quality decreases from Factory New to Battle Scarred, with the former considered to be the most pristine with the latter being the most worn. Factory New looks brand new with no prior use, and Battle Scarred looks worn, scratched, and bloody. As the grade decreases, scratches and eventually blood spatters begin to appear on a gradual scale in each decreasing wear. Blood splatters, in particular, only begin to appear on Field-Tested weapons and lower, and the size of them increase as the grade decreases. These features, as well as the pattern, differs in scale and rotation from player to player, as the game randomizes these when the item is first awarded. While the game generates a backpack item for the version of the decorated weapon the player owns, the Steam Community Market utilizes a shared backpack icon for each weapon with a particular exterior wear.
When mouse-hovering over a Decorated weapon in the Inventory, a detailed window will appear displaying a rotating model of the item. The window also displays the weapon's particular grade and exterior wear, as well as a list of the entirety of items found within the weapon's respective collection (any weapon the player owns in this collection will have a check mark next to its name on this list). Choosing to Inspect the weapon through the context menu will open a larger window of the weapon model which can be manually rotated.
The patterns and exterior qualities of Decorated weapons 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 string: "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.

Tough Break Collections
Uniquely, this is the only skin collection which contain skins that boosts the Phong shading of several or most parts of the weapon in order to make them glossier and more appealing (such as majority of the Gentlemanne's Collection and the Corsair variants in the Warbird Collection), making them currently the only publicly obtainable weapons with increased Phong other than Community grade weapons.
The Harvest Collection

Half of the possible skins from this collection are based off of autumn colors and patterns, such as leaves, pumpkins and trees.

Grades
Decorated weapons come in six grades. Grade is intrinsic to the specific Decorated weapon, and serves as an indication of rarity. Therefore, it is not possible for an Elite Grade Barn Borner to exist, nor a Freelance Grade Sand Cannon.
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 |
It should also be noted that all levels of exterior wear can apply to any grade, so it is possible to have a Battle Scarred Elite grade weapon and Factory New Civilian grade weapon.
Unused content
- According to the game's files, there is an unused grade labeled as Immortal.
Festivizers
Following the December 22, 2015 Patch, players are now able to festivize their Decorated items with the Gun Mettle and Tough Break Festivizer. When applied onto a weapon, the item will acquire lights similar to those of existing Festive weapons, as well as a Festive prefix next to the Skin's name as well as a Festivized item attribute.
Unusual Effects
Unusual Decorated weapons 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.
