The Killer Exclusive is a community-created promotional cosmetic item for all classes. It is an old-fashioned brown journalist's fedora with a card saying 'PRESS' stuck in the rim.
This item is awarded in Genuine quality to players who redeem the code included in PC Gamer issue 232 (UK)[1]. It was also awarded by purchasing PC Gamer Digital Episode 1 on Steam.
The Killer Exclusive was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.
