Your tireless fixer is under fire from the Administrator to keep the body count up, and she needs two things. 1) Executing black-bag kill-contracts and 2) landing the contracts by drafting and submitting detailed preliminary supplier-side bundled service proposals. Since you're a dangerous murderer who probably reads at a third grade level, we have a pretty good idea which one you can help her with.
TF2 Official Website

The Gun Mettle Update was a major update that introduced weapon skins, 4 new maps, and 3 new taunts. It also introduced the ability to pick up weapons from the ground from fallen players, as well the Gun Mettle Campaign, a three-month event allowing players to complete skill-based contract challenges to unlock one-of-a-kind weapons and exclusive weapon cases. To participate in the Gun Mettle Campaign, players had to obtain the Gun Mettle Campaign Pass, which was available for purchase in the Mann Co. Store.

Additional content was further added in the August 27, 2015 Patch with the introduction of the Gun Mettle Cosmetic Case.
