Revision as of 14:22, 14 October 2011

Item sets are a feature introduced in the Mann-Conomy Update. Depending on the set, new attributes may apply to the wearer when all the items in a set are equipped, altering the role of the class slightly. Examples include increased damage resistance, an immunity to headshots, and silenced cloaking noises. There are currently eighteen item sets; the five Polycount Pack contest winners, three Australian Christmas sets, eight Über Update sets, Dr. Grordbort's Victory Pack set, and the Swashbuckler's Swag set.

The Polycount Pack item sets require players to have the set headwear equipped to activate the item set bonus. The Australian Christmas item sets do not require the corresponding headwear to activate the set bonus. The Über Update, Dr. Grordbort's Victory Pack, and the Swashbuckler's Swag sets, while they require their respective headwear and, if applicable, Miscellaneous item to complete the set, do not bestow a set bonus. All set headwear and misc. items can be crafted using four Refined Metal and a weapon from the set the desired headwear/misc. that the item belongs to.

If a part of an item set is equipped, a list of items in the set as well as which are currently equipped appears when the item is inspected, either in the loadout menu or by other players. If the entire set is equipped, any effects it provides are also listed.

Update history

September 30, 2010 Patch (Mann-Conomy Update)

  • Added "The Special Delivery", "The Tank Buster", "The Gas Jockey's Gear", "The Croc-o-Style Kit", and "The Saharan Spy" item sets.

December 17, 2010 Patch (Australian Christmas)

  • Added "The Medi-eval Medic", "The Hibernating Bear", and "The Expert's Ordnance" item sets.

February 14, 2011 Patch

  • Fixed players getting set bonuses applied on tournament servers when the server is restricting the player's weapons using the item_whitelist.
  • [Undocumented] Fixed players getting set bonuses applied on Medieval maps for items that are not allowed in medieval mode. This is presumably a side-effect of the previous fix.

June 23, 2011 Patch (Über Update)

  • Added "Black Market Business", "The Man of Honor", "Lawrence of Australia", "One Thousand and One Demoknights", "The #1 Fan", "The General's Formals", "The Airborne Armaments", and "The Clinical Trial" item sets.

July 20, 2011 Patch (Dr. Grordbort's Victory Pack)

  • Added the 'Dr. Grordbort's Victory Pack' item set.

Bugs

  • Due to how the bullet vulnerability is calculated, certain non-bullet weapons deal 10% more damage to a Pyro wearing The Gas Jockey's Gear. This includes the Syringe Gun, Chargin' Targe, and most Attack taunts.
  • Snipers who have all of The Croc-o-Style Kit equipped can still die from headshots if they have 1 health point. This is either a bug or misconception caused by the set bonus' description.

Trivia

  • Some of the sets were given different names by Valve than the original creators chose for them.
    • The Hibernating Bear was originally called "Big Chief Hibernating Bear".[1]
    • The Medieval Medic was originally named "The Medi(c)eval Medic".[2]
    • Black Market Business was originally called "Black Market Heavy".
      • The version of this pack with changes closer to the released version was called the "Mobster Heavy".
    • The Man of Honor was originally called "The Bloody Valentine Pack".
    • Lawrence of Australia was originally called "The Australian of Arabia".
      • The final name is a reference to the 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia.
    • The #1 Fan set originally had no specific name.
  • The Swashbuckler's Swag set was originally showcased in the Medieval Update, though with many of the items having different names.
