— Jungle Inferno announcement, Day 2

War Paints are an item type that was added in the Jungle Inferno Update to replace campaign weapon drops and weapon cases and was first showcased on ​Day 2 of the update. When a War Paint is inspected, it can be previewed on a weapon and applied to create a new unique weapon with the selected pattern. War Paints and War Painted weapons have the Decorated quality but can also be obtained in Strange or Unusual qualities. War Paints are assigned a specific, randomly generated seed when first created, which cannot be altered at the user's discretion; the seed remains static after it has been set, even when the War Paint tool is traded, or purchased from the Steam Community Market.

War Paints listed on the Steam Community Market can be previewed by selecting the "Inspect in Game..." option located within the tab displayed when hovering over a listed War Paint. Selecting this option opens the in-game War Paint Loadout menu, with the chosen War Paint's pattern variation automatically entered; thus, allowing the player to preview its design on all applicable weapons.

War Paints can be applied to any compatible weapons via the War Paint Loadout menu. Users may also view the War Paint's Community Market listings. War Paint seeds can also be randomized through the submenu, though this feature only allows for previews of possible skinned weapons and cannot be used to regenerate the seed of an existing War Paint tool. The submenu also contains a slider for previewing applied weapons at different levels of exterior wear: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle Scarred.

Bugs

  • If a player is ÜberCharged, Decorated and War Painted weapons do not show the ÜberCharged weapon skin in first person.
  • While generating randomized seeds for War Paints in the inspect menu, the Community Sparkle effect may rarely show up.
  • If the player inspects a War Paint and then inspects a weapon, the weapon appears smaller while inspecting.[1]
  • Changing the team color to BLU on the War Paint menu does not update parts of the weapon that are not affected by a pattern (such as the ÜberCharge meter on the Ubersaw).
  • War Paints that include a custom material for the Bazaar Bargain (such as Elfin Enamel or Saccharine Striped) incorrectly apply the generated War Paint texture to the scope's lens, causing a UV mapping issue. This is due to the weapon using two separate material files, one for the weapon and another for the lens.

Notes

  • War Paints cannot be applied to existing weapons in a player's inventory; using one creates a new item instead.
  • War Paints obtained from keyless cases are never Strange or Unusual when unboxed, however, it is possible to obtain Strange versions through Civilian Grade Stat Clocks and Trade-Ups.
    • For example, the Nutcracker Mk.II War Paint from the Contract Campaigner Collection can be made Strange through the use of a Stat Clock because it is a Civilian Grade paint. If this process is repeated 10 times, the Strange Civilian Grade War Paints could then be used in a Trade-Up to receive either a Strange Iron Wood Mk.II War Paint or a Strange Macabre Web Mk.II War Paint as those are the two Freelance Grade paints in the collection. This can be repeated for each tier, multiplying the amount of Civilian Grade paints needed by 10 for every higher tier.
  • Backpack icons for War Painted weapons are affected by certain console commands that affect lighting, such as mat_phong 0.
