The '''Festivizer''' is a single-use [[tool]] that allows the user to [[festive weapons|festivize]] either a [[Decorated|decorated weapon]] or a select few other weapons, which are the [[Fire Axe]], [[Jag]], [[Kritzkrieg]], [[Pistol]], [[Quick-Fix]], [[Natascha]], [[Sandman]], [[Spy-cicle]], [[Kukri]], [[Shovel]] and [[Scottish Resistance]].
 
  
−
A festivized weapon will retain its original quality (eg. a Strange Brick House Minigun would stay in Strange quality after the tool is used) apart from [[Normal]] weapons, which will be changed to the [[Unique]] quality. Alongside the aesthetic changes, the prefix "Festive" will be placed in front of the weapon's name, and purple text with the words "Festivized" will be added to the weapon's backpack icon.

The Festivizer allows the user to Festivize either a [[Decorated]] weapon or a few other select weapons. Applying a Festivizer to an eligible weapon wraps it with a coil of [[Self-illumination|flashing]] yellow, green, and team-colored [[w:Christmas lights|Christmas lights]], in a similar fashion to [[Festive weapons]]. A weapon retains its current quality when Festivized (e.g. a Strange [[Minigun]] would remain in Strange quality after the tool is used). However, when applied to [[Stock weapons]], they are converted from [[Normal]] quality to [[Unique]] quality. Applying a Festivizer also adds the prefix "Festivized" to the front of a weapon's name, changes its [[backpack]] icon to reflect its new in-game appearance (wrapped with festive lights), and adds "Festivized" in purple text to the weapon's description.

The Festivizer is a tool item. It is represented by a coil of Christmas lights powered by a pair of Bonk batteries, a roll of masking tape, and a yellow staple gun.

The Festivizer allows the user to Festivize either a Decorated weapon or a few other select weapons. Applying a Festivizer to an eligible weapon wraps it with a coil of flashing yellow, green, and team-colored Christmas lights, in a similar fashion to Festive weapons. A weapon retains its current quality when Festivized (e.g. a Strange Minigun would remain in Strange quality after the tool is used). However, when applied to Stock weapons, they are converted from Normal quality to Unique quality. Applying a Festivizer also adds the prefix "Festivized" to the front of a weapon's name, changes its backpack icon to reflect its new in-game appearance (wrapped with festive lights), and adds "Festivized" in purple text to the weapon's description.
