“Oh dear, I've made quite a mess.” This page has been marked for general cleanup. Reason given: none given Please see Team Fortress Wiki style guide for information on how to improve this article. |
Particle effects are used frequently in Team Fortress 2 to serve as decoration or visual cues for various in-game events.
A detailed explanation of particle effects in general can be found on Template:W. Documentation for the Source engine's implementation can be found here.
It is important to note that an item does not need to possess a particular quality in order for a particle effect to be attached to it.
Contents

The Gloves of Running Urgently skull particle effect is emitted when the GRUs are wielded by the player.

Treasure Hat
There is no known localized name for the Treasure Hat's effect, but it is attached as a new particle system defined as "coin_spin". The particles from this effect are influenced by the movement of the wearer and will only be emitted when the player is in motion.
Map Stamps
Attached to the World Traveler's Hat. These render similarly to the purple and green Unusual confetti effects but use stamp sprites instead. Like the Treasure Hat, this effect is affected by the movement of the wearer and will only be emitted when the player is in motion.

The sprite sheet used for the effect's spinning animation.
Flying Bits
Intended to be used for rendering flames on gibs, this effect is also attached to certain Valve weapons.
Musical Notes
The Earbuds emit musical note particles from time to time.
Unusual effects
Unusual particle effects are particles attached to Unusual quality items.
There are 1176 possible combinations between hats and Unusual item particle effects (14 effects × 84 [current] possible unusual hats). The different particle effects are viewable in this animation, and here as they appear in-game; as well as in this video.
