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
 
  
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.

Currently, the only method to obtain a festivizer is by unboxing the [[Unlocked Winter 2016 Cosmetic Case]], which has a random chance of granting a festivizer alongside the player's uncrated loot.

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.

Before the [[Smissmas 2016]] patch, the Festivizer was originally named the '''Gun Mettle and Tough Break Festivizer''', and were only usable on [[Decorated]] weapons from those respective collections. They could only be found alongside uncrated items when unboxing either a [[Smissmas 2015 Festive Gift|Smissmas 2015 Festive Gift]], [[Pyroland Weapons Case|Pyroland]] or [[Warbird Weapons Case|Warbird]] weapon case. Owners of a [[Tough Break Campaign Pass]] would also find them through random drops. These have since been deactivated.

This article is about the tool. For the cosmetic item, see Industrial Festivizer.
It's a miracle. It's an Australian Christmas bloody miracle!
The Sniper beholding his Festivized Australium Sniper Rifle

The Festivizer is a tool item. It is represented by a coil of Christmas lights, a roll of duct 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.
