You can still currently obtain the Ellis Hat and Frying Pan by purchasing L4D2. Not sure if it's specific to the Give & Get event, but both myself and a friend purchased L4D2 last night and got it. [[User:22|22]] 03:42, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
I added this to the page. [[User:Seb26|<font color="#0B61A4">'''seb26'''</font>]] [[User talk:Seb26|<span style="font-size:95%;">[talk]</span>]] 01:08, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:You will probably get this by buying the new DLC - The Sacrifice for L4D or L4D2, but that's just my guess.[[User:CANPoo|CANPoo]] 13:26, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::Doubt it, since the DLC is free. [[User:BarnabasHale|BarnabasHale]] 14:29, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
Or maybe..another we get it by doing a achievement? [[User:Rong|Rong]] 13:50, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:The hat, at this time, is not being rewarded from completing the "Supreme Sacrifice" achievement for either L4D or L4D2. I have completed both, and at the time of writing this, received nothing. [[User:Hobolegs|Hobolegs]] 22:55, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::I also have the "Kill Bill" achievement, and no hat from that either. The survivors are missing dialogue in the sacrifice though, despite the sound files being there, so maybe it will come after they do the patch that fixes their update. [[User:Vercci|Vercci]] 23:49, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::Has anyone yet tried finishing the No Mercy campaign in L4D2? [[User:Mrnoj|Mrnoj]] 07:04, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 
It might also be worth noting that the default color of the hat doesn't match up to how Ellis' hat looks in L4D2. [[User:Ensign Epic|Ensign Epic]] 17:34, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
I can't see the skeleton with the hat on the sacrifice web page. Does anyone have a screenshot?
 
 
17:36 6-10-10 (UTC) someone else notice that there are many bats  in the campaing ? conclusion [[sandman]] ?
 
:I have noticed that there are a lot of bats in several of the stages in l4d2. I wouldn't consider that too odd. [[User:Mrnoj|Mrnoj]] 18:55, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
== Paintable ==
 
 
It's odd, really. The value is at "1" in items_game.txt, but there's no change in the paint preview. Overall, it looks average.

: The item is not paintable. The material's .vmt does not contain the code required to make the item paintable. I had set the tags of this article to unpaintable because in its current state it is impossible to apply paint to it. This change was reverted in [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Ellis%27_Cap&oldid=111877 revision 11187] by RedError 404. [[User:Stewsta|Stewsta]] 07:21, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

== Promo ==
 
http://www.l4d.com/sacrifice/index3.html#tf2_content_container it's a promo item [[User:Hyenadip|Hyenadip]]
 
 
== Initial Quote ==
 
Just a sugeration: I think that the line "Hey, this is like TF2!" fits better. And... doesnt say bad words. Personally, I find that a little shocking with the article style. Just an opinion. [[User: Sr Domi|Sr Domi]] 19:53, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:"And now, he is here to fuck ''us!''" --The [[Meet the Spy|Spy]]. Though I do think the quote you have suggested would be a lot funnier. -- [[User:En_Ex|En Ex]] {{bur}}  <sub>([[User_talk:En_Ex|talk]])</sub> 20:00, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::Well, I think that the line "This is like TF2" in an obvious TF2 wiki would be funny and a reference about this game in another game would be better and fits greatly. [[User: Sr Domi|Sr Domi]] 20:19, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:::Which has got me thinking, we should find a place on the Wiki for that "This is just like Counter-Strike" line. -- [[User:En_Ex|En Ex]] {{bur}}  <sub>([[User_talk:En_Ex|talk]])</sub> 02:49, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::: Maybe the article for [[Meet the Sniper|Sniper's]] [[SMG]]? --[[User:TM95|TM95]] 15:17, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
== Trivia Addition ==
 
 
*Do you think we should add the fact this is given out alongside the frying pan?  Or, in the article after 4pm tomorrow, we can say "...<It> was given out alongside the [[Frying Pan]] to commemorate L4D 2's mac update."  And somewhere we add the blog post links for TF2: http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4441&p=1  and L4D 2: http://www.l4d.com/blog/post.php?id=4438
 
 
Note: I put this here because I haven't made an official post before, and I want to do it correctly.
 
 
== Irritated ==
 
So far, I haven't been able to get this hat.  I've owned Left 4 Dead 2 for several months.  Are we -sure- it's being awarded to pre-owners?  I'm more than slightly anxious.  --[[User:Fragment of Nothing|Fragment of Nothing]] 00:07, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:Yes.  It might take some time, there's a lot of players that have to be ''processed''. -[[User:RJackson|<span style="background-color:#FF0000;color:white;font-size:0.7em;padding: 0 2px;">RJ</span>]]{{mod}} 00:15, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::My brother got the cap and frying pan, and he's owned L4D2 for a while. Seen here: [http://www.tf2items.com/id/Arfy4] (He hasn't played yet to get them properly put into the backpack.) I haven't gotten mine yet, but I now have definite proof that they're going out to those who already own the game. I guess all we can do is wait until they process everyone... I'd expect them to all be out within a week or two. [[User:Will-T|Will-T]] 22:36, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:::Yeah I preordered the game and I'm still waiting on mine.--[[User:Jordan|Jordan]] 15:15, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::::Same. I preordered this game before it came out (got Bill's Hat) and I have yet to receive the hat or the frying pan. I still have patience left within me to wait a couple more days... if I don't get it then, I guess I will contact Valve and see what's up. [[User:Pwrkaril|Pwrkaril]] 19:05, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::::: I don't have mine either, I suppose they are going backwards from the people who just got the game in the promotion all the way to the folks who pre-ordered it. Hopefully it wont take too long to do though [[User:Scatmanjohn|Scatmanjohn]] 19:10, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::::::Yes, it's been dropping late for a lot of people. But this is not a place to complain to Valve about the drop system, and it is not a forum either, so please discuss this outside of the Wiki. Thanks :3 — [[User:WindPower|<span style="font-weight:bold;">Wind</span>]] {{adm}} 20:32, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:::::::It's written on the item page: "anyone who owned Left 4 Dead 2 prior to the announcement would receive the item within a few days of the initial release". So they're giving the 2 items to the new owners first and go back the list, it might take some time. As a matter of fact, I just bought it, and it took 3 days to find them... So just be patient. [[User:Tturbo|Tturbo]] 20:36, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
==This Hat==
 
Provides the Scout with such a defined wrinkly forehead and perverted face, I will be naming it 'Wrinkly Pervert Hat'. That is all.--[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]] 08:31, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
==Page Problem==
 
Is it just me or does the Hat details change from page where the hat info is shown to discussion? Page says not able to trade while this page says it can be. If asked I will upload the Print Screen Picture. [[User:Ninja0Pain|Ninja0Pain]] 01:09, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:This is the discussion page.  The Ellis' Cap is not able to be traded. [[User:General coolio|General coolio]] 01:11, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
== Trading ==
 
 
I realize that the [[October 12, 2010 Patch|October 12th patch notes]] say that the hat and pan are tradable but they're still un-tradable ingame as of October 19. [[User:Spar13|Spar13]] 18:43, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:There seems to have been an error or bug in whatever method Valve used to turn them into tradable items: some of them are tradable, some of them aren't. -[[User:RJackson|<span style="background-color:#FF0000;color:white;font-size:0.7em;padding: 0 2px;">RJ</span>]]{{mod}} 18:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
== Added some information ==
 
 
Added the date made tradable. [[User:Rageguy|Rageguy]] 21:39, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
== Which it's the file? ==
 
 
I need the original name of the file (that wav with the "Dude, this is just like TF2), to get the spanish one. And then adding it to the obvious article.[[User:Sr Domi|Sr Domi]] 18:38, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
== Related Merchandise Section ==
 
 
Valve recently added the [http://store.valvesoftware.com/product.php?i=H0561 Red Ellis Hat] to the steam store! Since the scout has this section, why not this page? -= [[User:M-NINJA|<font color="Blue">'''M-NINJA'''</font>]] [[File:Burger_Gib.png|24px|link=User_talk:M-NINJA]] =- 18:10, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:Would just need to drop this at the bottom! All i need is the green light before i do so, i dislike being yelled at. -= [[User:M-NINJA|<font color="Blue">'''M-NINJA'''</font>]] [[File:Burger_Gib.png|24px|link=User_talk:M-NINJA]] =- 03:37, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

== Little question about the name ==
 
 
Hi there, not a big deal but I was just wondering: shouldn't the name of the cap be Ellis's cap? As the New Oxford American Dictionary states: 's is denoting possession in singular nouns, also in plural nouns not having a final -s: the car's engine | Mrs. '''Ross's''' son | the children's teacher. Well, the wiki will of course use the term which is official (that currently being Ellis' Cap), but I just wanted to point that out. Grammar Nazis, your opinion is welcome! [[User:BadDog|BadDog]] 03:46, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
 
 
== vintage? ==
 
Are some ellis caps vintage?  In one of the discussions at the top of the page, the words ellis cap is in blue. [[User:Thespy|Thespy]] 00:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 
 
== Clipping Bug? ==
 
 
I just noticed today that when a character is in humiliation with the Ellis Hat equiped, the character's head clips through the top of the hat.  I only saw this with the Sniper, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this either or if it was enough to put in the "Bugs" section of the page.
