Item sets
Item sets are a game concept introduced in the Mann-Conomy Update, which applies new attributes (such as greater damage resistance, immunity to headshots, etc.) to the wearer when all items in a set are equipped. There are currently eight item sets, of which five originated from the Polycount Pack. The most recent three were added in the December 17, 2010 Patch.
Since Valve is of the opinion that game-changing effects should be available for every player within a reasonable amount of time, hats included in these sets are the only hats in the game to have guaranteed crafting blueprints (not including the Bonk Helm), requiring four Refined Metal and any weapon from the set in question the player wishes to craft the hat for.

Bugs
- Due to how the bullet vulnerability is calculated, certain non-bullet weapons deal 10% more damage to a Gas Jockey's Gear Pyro. This includes the Syringe Gun, all melee weapons, the Targe Bash, and most taunt attacks.
- Snipers who have the entire Croc-O-Style Kit equipped can still die to headshots if they have around 1 health point. This is either a bug, or a misconception caused by the set bonus description.
