Strange Filters are tool items. They are represented by a coil with cut, thatched gray cables, sitting next to a screen displaying an image with cut red and blue wires, and some screws lying around. The image displayed on the screen changes depending upon the particular Strange Filter.
Strange Filters can only be used on Strange weapons and cosmetics. Adding a Strange Filter to an item restricts the tracking of a statistic to a certain map or mode, and adds an extra prefix to the item depending on which criteria the Strange Filter was for. All revenue from purchasing a map's Strange Filter, minus net taxes, is given to the map contributor.
Once a Strange Filter is applied, the stats that the filter is applied to reset to zero.
The extra prefix is only awarded if the Strange Filter is applied to the weapon's primary statistic.

Variants
Note that filters for official Valve maps (such as 2Fort) are not available in-game and cannot be purchased.
