Texas Slim's Dome Shine is a headwear item for the Engineer. It isn't actually a hat at all, instead removing the Engineer's default helmet to reveal his shining, bald pate.
The hat description was written by FarazParsa.
Trivia
- The description is a reference to one of the Mini-Sentry kill responses, which is in turn a reference to Meet the Engineer.
- Upon closer inspection, it appears the Engineer is not entirely bald, but elects instead to shave his remaining hair off.
- This headwear may be a reference to Riddick, a fictional character, who is also bald and wears similar goggles.
- It may also be a reference to the book Fever Crumb where there is an order of engineers that all shave their hair and only drink water.
- It may also be a reference to Francis, one of the main protagonists in Valve's Left 4 Dead.
- There is a glitch where you can "wear" this hat by taunting with the Demoman's Grenade Launcher and then quickly switching to Engineer.
- Although the Texas Slim's Dome Shine is classed a hat item, it is not displayed in the "Inspect" target window after cycling through a player's equipped items using the "Inspect" key. It is unknown whether this is intentional, since the item is essentially the removal of a hat and realistically cannot be carried.
- The Engineer with the Scout and Sniper are so far the only classes that can use the Hatless hat.
- The sound of this hat when picked up can be described as "Like when you softly slap your hand or leg". This is the only hat which has this sound.
