Strange
Introduced in the Über Update, Strange quality items can be found by unboxing Mann Co. Supply Crates of a certain series. Various actions (kills notably) that are made with a Strange quality weapon are recorded as an item attribute. Prefixes are changed automatically by the game based on the weapon's rank.
The hexadecimal colour code for Strange items is #CD9B1D.
Ranks
All strange weapons have an associated weapon rank. This rank is based on the number of kills (for damage-dealing weapons) or that have been made with the weapon against other players (excluding bots). All Strange weapons start with an initial prefix of Strange, however this is not a rank itself. Trading a Strange weapon will cause its kill counter to reset to zero and its prefix to reset to Strange.

Notes
- Disabling pop-up notifications under 'Advanced Options' will keep the strange rank notifications from appearing, beware however that the trade, duel, and item drop notifications will also no longer appear.
- Killing a teammate while friendly fire is enabled will increase your kill total with that weapon by one, as though it were a normal kill.
- Activating the Cloak of a Spy who is using the Dead Ringer will not increase your total kill count with that weapon.
- Killing bots will not increase your total kill count.
- Killing yourself with a Strange Boston Basher or Gloves of Running Urgently will not increase your total kill count with that weapon.
- Killing an enemy with a compression from the Strange Flamethrower or Backburner will not increase your kill count.
Bugs
- Strange weapons traded through Steam Trading will retain their kill counts instead of resetting back to zero.
