Good god, a strange weapons page! Hooray! Problem 10:17, 25 September 2011 (PDT)
Do taunt kills from the Sandman, Flare Gun, Eyelander, Knife and Conniver's Kunai add to their counters? Pwnator 01:54, 28 September 2011 (PDT)
Multi character use
I think there should be a note as to whether the counter carries over for weapons that are shared between multiple classes. For example, lets say I get 1000kills with the pistol on my engie, then I equip the pistol on my scout. does it maintain the counter? Nibelhim 09:42, 28 September 2011 (PDT)
- I'm fairly certain it does. If you want, I can check. I have Strange Shotgun. I'll go do it now. --NobleSkull :D - 10:09, 28 September 2011 (PDT)
- Got kill with Strange Shotgun and looked at it as Engineer. On all classes, it was 22, then 1 kill with it as Soldier, had 23 on Heavy, Engineer, Pyro and Soldier. --NobleSkull :D - 10:17, 28 September 2011 (PDT)
Humiliation
Do kills during humiliation count? I haven't tested it yet; if someone knows it he should add the information. LeGenD`RaGe 13:08, 13 October 2011 (PDT)
- Humiliation kills count, but I think that's sort of a given since points are still awarded during Humiliation.

Notes section on counter types.
This section is already ugly, and is only going to continue to get worse as Valve adds more counters. I propose this section be removed in place of listing the counters attached on the availability list. ~ Ath (talk) 08:55, 19 October 2011 (PDT)
10 000 kills?
I notice there is no information about the final rank, so does that mean that nobody who comes here has reached it or are we not allowed to discuss it? I'm almost half-way there with my Minigun.--Katz 13:54, 19 October 2011 (PDT)
- There is a rank defined at 10,000 kills I believe but it's not implemented. —

Strange Kritzkrieg
This ranks up on kill assists and not Ubers like the Medigun. Mine is at Midly-Menacing with 45 assists and 17 Ubers. I noticed when it ranked up without me deploying an Uber. Also the kill assist count is displayed on top, with the ubers below in parantheses. My backpack. http://www.tf2items.com/id/drblutengott Dr. Blutengott 18:55, 19 October 2011 (PDT)
No Longer Announced Via Alert
So apparently Strange Ranks are no longer 'alerted' on the server when someone reaches it. It just shows up in the chat-feed but not as an actual alert, is that right? Did the Manniversary Update do that? ☢ Ѵєяɩτѧѕ ☢ 17:51, 22 October 2011 (PDT)
- Yes, yes it did.

Strange Holy Mackerel
The strange fish has a difference to the other strange weapons that I've seen - rather than saying 'Kills: xxx' it says 'Humiliations: xxx' (see here for screenshot). Should this be added to the trivia page for the Holy Mackerel? Avon 10:40, 24 October 2011 (PDT)
- Does it count a "humiliation" as a kill, or just a hit with the fish? » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 03:26, 25 October 2011 (PDT)
- A kill, any situation that would cause a kill with the normal fish (i.e. triggering the dead ringer doesn't count). Avon 13:04, 25 October 2011 (PDT)
- Probably not notable then. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 15:07, 25 October 2011 (PDT)

Strange Gunslinger
Does it rank up based on Mini Sentry kills instead of the actual Gunslinger melee? Trying to figure out why it's so bloody expensive. It has to be something more than "Only in the Salvaged Crate" Spy Master Kaze 21:36, 3 November 2011 (PDT)
- The other strange wrenches rank up on Sentry kills, so the Gunslinger probably does too. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 21:50, 3 November 2011 (PDT)
- It has EVERYTHING to do with the crate it is in. Like the Jag, the rankings increase based on Sentry gun kills. Both, however, do track melee kills as well, but they do not progress the rank. SS2R 23:41, 3 November 2011 (PDT)
Degreaser link is wrong.
The link in the table for strange items is wrong for the Degreaser. I tried to figure out how to change it but I can't seem to do it. It points to the backburner page currently. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nagrom 17 (talk) • (contribs)
Counter Description
What happened to the section explaining the counters which don't track kills (i.e. Medi Gun tracks Ubercharges, Wrench tracks Sentry kills)? That was genuinely useful information and should still be here. I also think it's worth mentioning that the Chargin' Targe only counts shield-bash kills and not melee kills using the targe's crit. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 05:27, 4 November 2011 (PDT)
- I removed it because it was reaching an absurd level of bloatedness. As I said in the edit summary, that sort of information should be listed in the availability table. Not in the article body. ~ Ath (talk) 10:09, 4 November 2011 (PDT)
Destructions ?
Do destructions of Engi's buildings add kills to s. revolver ? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nouthghule (talk) • (contribs) 19:57, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
