Unusual quality is an item quality used on hats and some miscellaneous items with a special attached particle effect. There are currently 303 items that can have one of 31 total effects. Nine of these effects (Cloudy Moon, Eerie Orbiting Fire, Flaming Lantern, Cauldron Bubbles, Knifestorm, Misty Skull, Harvest Moon, It's A Secret To Everybody and Stormy 13th Hour) are limited Halloween effects that will not be obtainable again until further notice. The only methods of obtaining an Unusual item are by potentially unlocking a Mann Co. Supply Crate with a Mann Co. Supply Crate Key or via trading. The chances of uncrating an Unusual item are about one in one hundred, or 1%. Unlike regular items which can only obtained from specific crates, any Unusual item with any particle effect can be randomly obtained from any given crate of any Series.
Since unusual items are not oftenly found in crate openings, they are considered to be some of the rarest items in Team Fortress 2. Combined with a unique and decorative particle effect, they are also are one of the most popular items inside Team Fortress 2 as well.
The hexadecimal color code for Unusual items is #8650AC.

Other Unusual items
Two special items of Unusual quality were introduced with the Scream Fortress update: the Haunted Metal Scrap, and the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker. However, unlike regular Unusual items, the Unusual Metal Scrap is dropped for any player who has taken part in defeating the Horseless Headless Horsemann, while the Headtaker can be obtained by crafting it from a blueprint that includes the Unusual Metal Scrap. Besides bearing the Unusual quality, the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker is statistically identical to the Eyelander. In addition, neither of these items has an attached particle effect. Due to these characteristics, these two Unusual items are not considered as valuable as regular Unusual items.
