Decorated is an item quality assigned to weapons with special grade factors of design, varying levels of exterior wear, and possibly a Strange counter and/or Unusual effect. Decorated weapons were introduced in the Gun Mettle Update.
Decorated weapons have what is essentially a cosmetic "skin", similar to Australium weapons. However, instead of Australium plating, Decorated quality weapons possess a layer of paint applied in a pattern, based on the Weapon Collection the particular weapon is found in. Decorated patterns differ in scale and rotation weapon to weapon, with portions of these patterns being randomized when the weapon is first awarded. As such, it is very rare to have two Decorated weapons with the exact same pattern.
A Decorated weapon's quality is classified under one of six levels of rarity, referred to as "Grades", with a separate ranking for exterior damage (referred to as "Wear") that applies to all grades.
Decorated weapons can be obtained through various methods, including random drops following the completion of contracts, unboxing specific weapon cases, or generation through a War Paint. Decorated weapons and War Paints obtained from cases also have a chance of being Strange, a rarer chance of being Unusual, and a very rare chance to be both. Strange variants add a visible "Stat Clock" to the side of the weapon, which counts kills (or ÜberCharges in the case of the Medi Guns).
Civilian Grade weapons (which are not found in Strange quality normally) can also have a Stat Clock applied to them using a Civilian Grade Stat Clock tool.
Decorated weapons are purely cosmetic, and have no effect on gameplay.
Following the December 22, 2015 Patch, all Decorated items can now be festivized with the Festivizer tool.
When mouse-hovering over a Decorated weapon in the backpack, a detailed window appears displaying a rotating 3D model of the weapon. This window also displays the weapon's grade and level of exterior wear, as well as a list of weapons found within the weapon's respective collection, with a check mark next to any that the player already owns. Choosing to inspect a Decorated weapon through this menu opens a larger window where the player can manually rotate the weapon model to see it from all angles.
In-game, the title text of Decorated weapons uses the associated color of their grade.
While in the Steam inventory, during trading, and on the Steam Community Market, the hexadecimal color code for Decorated weapons is #FAFAFA — a bright off-white — regardless of grade.

Grades
Decorated weapons come in 6 grades. This value is intrinsic to the specific Decorated weapon and serves as an indicator of rarity. Therefore, it is not possible for an Elite Grade Barn Burner to exist, nor a Freelance Grade Sand Cannon, as both have the rarity of Mercenary and Elite, respectively.
The list of current weapon grades is provided below, with each grade having a specific text color associated with them in the loadout screen.
| Color | Name | Example |
|---|---|---|
| #B0C3D9 | Civilian Grade | Scattergun |
| #5E98D9 | Freelance Grade | Stickybomb Launcher |
| #4B69FF | Mercenary Grade | Minigun |
| #8847FF | Commando Grade | Flame Thrower |
| #D32CE6 | Assassin Grade | Sniper Rifle |
| #EB4B4B | Elite Grade | Rocket Launcher |
Wear
Decorated weapons also possess one of five different levels of exterior wear. Wear is indicated in parentheses after the weapon's grade, i.e Mercenary Grade SMG (Well-Worn).
Unlike grades, all levels of exterior wear can apply to any Decorated weapon, so it is possible to have a Battle Scarred Elite grade weapon and Factory New Civilian grade weapon. Wear describes the weapon's appearance, corresponding to a level of exterior "use".
These levels of wear, in order of least worn to most worn, are:
- Factory New
- Minimal Wear
- Field-Tested
- Well-Worn
- Battle Scarred
At the highest grade, the weapon looks brand new, with little prior use. Following a gradual decrease in wear level, scratches and eventually blood spatters begin to appear, and their sizes increase as wear grade decreases. They are randomized along with skin placement on each weapon. The weapon's paint eventually becomes extremely battered and chipped at the lowest level of wear.
Note that the game generates a backpack icon for the version of the decorated weapon the player owns, while the Steam Community Market utilizes a shared backpack icon for each weapon with a particular exterior wear.

Tough Break Collections
Uniquely, this is the only skin collection which contains skins that boosts the Phong shading of several or most parts of the weapon in order to make them glossier and more appealing (such as majority of the Gentlemanne's Collection and the Corsair variants in the Warbird Collection), making them currently the only publicly-obtainable weapons with increased Phong shading, with the exception of certain Community quality weapons.
The Harvest Collection
The Harvest Collection is one of two weapon skin collections available through completing Tough Break contracts. Half of the possible skins from this collection are based on autumn colors and patterns, such as leaves, pumpkins, and trees. The other half of the skins take on a more "spooky" or Halloween-based style. The Boneyard skins in particular have a unique aesthetic, as lower grades cause the bone-colored parts of the weapon to wear off, revealing bloody "bone marrow" instead of showing the gun's stock texture under it. As of October 20, 2017, the Macabre Web, Nutcracker, and Autumn skins have been rereleased through the War Paint system introduced in the Jungle Inferno Update.

The Gentlemanne's Collection
The Gentlemanne's Collection is the second weapon skin collection available through completing Tough Break contracts. The skins from this collection take on a fancy, ornate, or expensive-looking approach. The "High Roller's" set in particular focuses on a casino or gambling theme. The "Coffin Nail" set is based upon cigarettes; uniquely, as the weapon's wear decreases, glowing "burn" marks appear on the skin's muzzle as if the weapon was a cigarette gradually being "smoked".

Unused content
- According to the game's files, there is an unused grade labeled as Immortal.
Unusual Effects
Unusual Decorated weapons have a particle effect attached to parts of the weapon. Depending on the Unusual effect and weapon, the position of the particle effect can vary; for example, Isotope tends to only cover the tip of the weapon's muzzle (unless the weapon is small, such as on a Pistol or Revolver, where it covers most of the weapon), while Hot and Cool tend to travel along the whole weapon, making it more visible on larger weapons (like the Rocket Launcher).
| Gun Mettle Update Unusual effects | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Hot | Isotope | Cool | Energy Orb Removed from all Unusual pools | |||
Bugs
- Upon respawning, Unusual effects can sometimes become positioned in front of the player's screen, blocking their view. This can be fixed by switching weapons.
- All team-colored Tough Break Collection weapons lack the description "Team Colored Decorated Weapon".
- Unusual effects on Revolvers and Knives will disappear in first-person upon disguising, and will not reappear until the user is undisguised and performs a weapon switch.[1]
- Similarly, Unusual effects on weapons will disappear if the player switches from the Mutated Milk to an Unusual weapon. The effects reappear once the player switches to and from any other weapon.[2]
- Holding a Decorated weapon and then using certain taunts that use props (for example: the Luxury Lounge) makes the prop use the weapon's texture.
- This also causes certain parts of the taunt to disappear for other players (for example: the Fresh Brewed Victory cup and the bag of coffee beans).
- Occasionally, parts of a Decorated weapon's War Paint appear as a missing texture in first-person view. The texture returns to normal upon swapping teams.
Notes
- The patterns and exterior qualities of Decorated weapons do not appear when running the game with
dxlevel -80ordxlevel -81. Instead of showing the decorations, they only appear as their stock counterpart. When running the game in these DirectX levels, the descriptions of Decorated weapons change, adding the extra string: "You are in DirectX 8, decorated weapons are incompatible and will show as stock".- Upon checkout at the Mann Co. Store, having a Gun Mettle Campaign Pass in the cart causes the game to show a message warning the player that Decorated weapons do not work on DirectX 8.
- The reflection details featured in some Decorated weapons still show under DirectX 8, but not the pattern and exteriors.
Update history
- Added 4 weapon collections: Teufort Collection, Craftsmann Collection, Concealed Killer Collection and Powerhouse Collection.
- [Undocumented] Added Decorated quality.
- Fixed skinned weapons appearing differently after being traded or listed on the Steam Community Market. Affected items have been reverted to their original (permanent) appearance.
- Fixed Shotgun and SMG Killstreak kits not working on Decorated weapons.
- Revolver and Pistol Killstreak Kits now properly work on Decorated weapons.
- Fixed an issue with Unusual Revolvers where the unusual effect would sometimes not disappear when the Spy would feign death, disguise, cloak, etc.
- Fixed skinned weapons not rendering properly for customers on older shader model 2.0 hardware.
- Fixed Stat Clock models not cloaking with the Spy.
- Fixed a case where the Stat Clock model would float in the air while the player was taunting.
December 17, 2015 Patch (Tough Break Update)
- Added 4 weapon collections: Harvest Collection, Gentlemanne's Collection, Pyroland Collection and Warbird Collection.
- Fixed decorated weapons not getting the Crit-boost material effect.
October 20, 2017 Patch (Jungle Inferno Update)
- [Undocumented] Removed the Energy Orb Unusual effect from all decorated cases.
- Fixed not being able to apply the Civilian Grade Stat Clock to Civilian-grade weapons.
- Fixed Stat Clock cancelling out ÜberCharge and self-illuminating materials on weapons using War Paints. (community fix from makaroffilya)
- Fixed not seeing the correct inspect image for the Red Rock Roscoe after previewing another paintkit item.
- Fixed self-illumination effect for the High Roller's Rocket Launcher and the High Roller's Medi Gun. (community fix from makaroffilya)
