Make your master piece!​ — Jungle Inferno announcement, ​​Day 2

”

War Paint is an item that was added in the Jungle Inferno Update to replace campaign weapon drops and weapon cases, and was first showcased on ​Day 2 of the update. When one of nearly forty patterns is selected from a War Paint Case, it can be previewed on a weapon and applied to create a new unique weapon with the selected pattern. War Paints can also be obtained in Strange (Stat Tracking) or Unusual qualities. Paints and cases can be obtained through Blood Money from the Mercenary Park Gift Shop. War Paint and War Painted weapons have the Decorated quality.

Note: War Paint cannot be applied on existing weapons in a player's Inventory. Upon using War Paint, a new item is created.

Bugs

• Before the patch that fixed the rarities of Mercenary Grade War Paints appearing as Civilian Grade, Civilian Grade paints could be strangified using the Civilian Grade stat clock. Currently, the few weapons that were strangified are now impossible to get unless unboxed. These painted weapons have a Civilian Grade border.
• Weapons made from War Paints will not be marked as part of the corresponding collection in a Steam Inventory.
• Due the lacking of festivized models, painted weapons by this method cannot be festivized besides the Jag, even though the new paints follow the same code as the previous skins.

Notes

• War Paints obtained through the Mercenary Park Gift Shop cannot be of Strange (Stat Tracking) or Unusual qualities.
