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, five of which originated from the Polycount Pack. Another three were later added in the Australian Christmas update, leaving the Engineer as the only class to currently lack his own item set. These item sets also do not require the corresponding hat in order for the set bonus to activate.

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 the five Polycount sets were given guaranteed crafting blueprints. The Polycount set hats require four Refined Metals and any weapon from the set of which the player wishes to craft the hat.
