The Cheater's Lament is a headwear item, wearable by all classes. It is a glowing golden halo attached to the wearer's head by two slightly crooked wires.

This hat was awarded on September 2, 2009 to all players who had not used external idling programs and had played at least once since the introduction of the item drop system. During the Mann-Conomy Update, the hat was dropped a second time for players who did not receive it during the initial drop. This includes those who were excluded from the first drop for using external idle programs.

The hat description was written by AndyAML for the Hat Describing Contest.

Bugs

  • The Cheater's Lament doesn't cloak on friendly cloaked Spies.

Trivia

  • When players viewed their backpacks after receiving the Cheater's Lament on September 2, 2009, the following message was displayed: "Congratulations! Your honesty has been rewarded with a new hat!" The message did not appear, however, when the item was awarded to the community during the Mann-Conomy Update.
  • This hat, unlike other all class hats, is the same model for all classes. This would make it very difficult to modify with a replacement hat. This can be tested when using HLMV.
