Community weapons are unique in-game weapons given by Valve to individuals who have made a significant contribution to the Team Fortress 2 community, such as making a map that is made official, creating competitive game guides, and creating map themes.

These weapons are identified by a sparkling particle effect emitted by the weapon, both in first-person view and world view. The weapons also have their name in green text, along with the word “Community” in front of them, e.g. “Community Flamethrower.”
