The Sergeant's Drill Hat is a headwear item for the Soldier and was chosen by Valve to be released with the second wave of community-contributed content due to its outstanding quality. It appears as a brown campaign hat with the Team Fortress symbol on the front.

Trivia

  • This is the only official class specific hat for the Soldier that isn't a helmet or resembles one.
  • This hat resembles the one worn by the Drill Sergeants in the Boot Camp section of Half-Life: Opposing Force
  • A BLU version of this hat was released by Gerre but the normal, green version was the version accepted by Valve.
