The Description Tag allows a player to give an item of their choice a customized description of up to 80 characters (including spaces), with some exceptions. Doing so will destroy the Description Tag, consuming it after a single use. Like the Name Tag, if it's used on a stock weapon it becomes a unique item and the player will "find" a new version of the stock item which will replace the renamed stock item. If applied on any other item it will not create a new version. A custom description will be in quotations such as "Example Description". Changing the item's description does not affect its ability to be traded.

Any eligible item (including those traded) can have a Description Tag applied, even if there is one already applied. To return the item to its original state select the item and use the button within the backpack normally marked "Use with...". Restoring an item to its original state will not refund the Description Tag.

Description Tags can be dropped randomly, found when unboxing a Series #3 Mann Co. Supply Crate, or purchased from the Mann Co. Store.
