The Big Country is a community-created cosmetic item for the Engineer. It removes the Engineer's default hardhat, replacing it with a long, blonde mullet.
This cosmetic item has two styles, named "Nelson" and "Brooks". "Nelson" hides the Engineer's default hardhat, while "Brooks" retains the Engineer's default hardhat.
The Big Country was contributed to the Steam Workshop after release, by request of Valve.
