Reskins are weapons that differ in their visual appearance, yet share the same stats and functions of pre-existing weapons. Though many unofficial reskins exist, the table below is a list of all official reskins in the game.
Most of the reskinned weapons are promotional, purchased or special items. Promotional items, such as the Big Kill, are reskins of existing weapons with no new features. Special items, such as the Golden Wrench, are reskins of the existing items with an added cosmetic effect.

Trivia
- It was stated in an early press release that the Sun-on-a-Stick and Sharpened Volcano Fragment were intended to be reskins for the Boston Basher and Axtinguisher, respectively.[1]
- The Lugermorph was initially only able to be equipped by the Scout, despite being a reskin for the Pistol, which can also be used by the Engineer. It was not until the July 1, 2010 Patch that this was fixed, and the Engineer was granted the ability to use the weapon.
