Unusual Napper's Respite
Level 73 Hat
Effect: Circling Heart
After a long day of burning scouts.

There is nothing unusual about this man's head!
The Soldier

Unusual quality is an item quality used on cosmetic items and taunts with a special attached particle effect. There are currently 697 cosmetic items that can have one of 66 total effects, and 18 taunts that can have one of 11 total effects. The only methods of obtaining an Unusual item are by potentially unlocking a Mann Co. Supply Crate with a Mann Co. Supply Crate Key or via trading. The chances of uncrating an Unusual item are about one in one hundred, or 1.00%.[1] Unlike regular items which can only be obtained from specific crates, any item obtainable in Unusual quality can be uncrated from any given crate, however the particle effects obtained depends on the series of crate the unusual item was obtained from.

Due to their unique particle effect decorations and their extremely low probability of being obtained from crates, Unusual items are considered to be some of the rarest items in TF2.

The hexadecimal color code for Unusual items is #8650AC.

Other Unusual items

Two special items of Unusual quality were introduced with the Scream Fortress Update: the Haunted Metal Scrap, and the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker. However, unlike regular Unusual items, the Unusual Metal Scrap is dropped for any player who has taken part in defeating the Horseless Headless Horsemann with a melee weapon, while the Headtaker can be obtained by crafting it from a blueprint that includes the Unusual Metal Scrap. Besides bearing the Unusual quality, the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker is statistically identical to the Eyelander. In addition, neither of these items has an attached particle effect. Due to these characteristics, these two Unusual items are not considered as valuable as regular Unusual items.

The unusual effect pool used by any given series of crate is listed in its potential uncrate results list.

The first 14 effects can be obtained from any crate of Series #1 to Series #25.

The next 8 effects can be obtained from any crate of Series #26 to Series #57.

The final 7 effects can be obtained from any Series #59 crate onwards.

  • The effect named "Something Burning This Way Comes" references the fantasy horror novel by the name Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury; the title is itself a reference to the Shakespeare piece Macbeth, towards a specific line in Act 4, Scene 1.
