Item sets are a feature introduced in the Mann-Conomy Update, which applies new attributes to the wearer when all items in a set are equipped, effectively changing their class to a completely different class. Changes include greater damage resistance, an immunity to headshots, or silenced cloaking noises. There are currently sixteen item sets; the five Polycount Pack contest winners, three Australian Christmas sets, and seven Über Update sets. The item sets introduced in the Australian Christmas update do not require the corresponding headwear to activate the set bonus.

The first five item sets required that the player have the set hat equipped to activate the item set bonus, and were given specific crafting blueprints. They can be made with four Refined Metal and any weapon from the corresponding set. These sets include the Special Delivery, Tank Buster, Gas Jockey's Gear, Croc-o-Style, and Saharan Spy.

While the item sets included with the Über Update don't trigger any set bonus when every item is equipped, they still display when a player is wearing any number of of set pieces in their description.

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.

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, the Chargin' Targe, and most taunt attacks.
  • Snipers who have the entire Croc-O-Style Kit equipped can still die from headshots if they have around 1 health point. This is either a bug, or a misconception caused by the set bonus description.
  • Despite that the crafting screen will present the player with a "Fabricate Set Headgear" prompt when four refined metal and a weapon from the Hibernating Bear, Expert's Ordinance or Medieval Medic set is placed in the craft boxes, the Big Chief, Scotch Bonnet and Berliner's Bucket Helm all lack specific crafting recipes and cannot be obtained this way. This is because these hats are not required to obtain the bonus in their respective sets.

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.
  • Due to how damage resistance is calculated, equipping the Chargin' Targe with the Expert's Ordnance item set results in a total fire damage resistance of 55%. Equipping the Splendid Screen with the Expert's Ordnance will result in a total fire damage resistance of 30%.
