I also tried to add information after my own knowledge.

If there are placeholders or bad formatting, wrong sized pictures, etc.; I will fix that later.

Guide picture made by me.

Thanks for stopping by, hopefully this helped.

I'm sorry for the question. But is it possible to drop the old unusual effects, like Harvest moon, from crate accessories for all classes? If I open it for example this year on Halloween. Or I'll get a hat with the Halloween effect of this year.

I do think you can by opening a Violet Vermin Case during the halloween event
fanboy!?!?111// 8 Mar, 2020 @ 1:25pm 
Can still unbox like Scream Fortress 2018 hats?

Oh, in Steam? Then you have to go to the market and search for Team Fortress 2.

I've seen some people use a pixelated jarate before and a spy head
Seiko *I'm not selling it*  [author] 16 Jan, 2019 @ 2:22pm 
Of course, I'm always glad about good ideas :) Thank you!
I'm not sure what you mean with accessing TF2 emojis. Can you explain? Maybe I can help you.

Thanks for listening and reading these comments, it's great that you actually take the time to see what other people think and listen to their opinion. Btw, I've favorited this guide. Also, do you know how to access the TF2 emojis?

Hey, wanted to let you know I considered your comment and added placeholder pictures from loadout.tf for now. Doesn't look too pretty and I messed up the sizes of the screenshots a bit, but it will do until I get the actual wiki pics. Thanks for the help :pleased:
Dr. Dispenser 16 Jan, 2019 @ 4:50am 
That's what I thought. I was mainly just trying to help people who wanted to know what they looked like :)
Seiko *I'm not selling it*  [author] 15 Jan, 2019 @ 11:35pm 
Thanks for pointing out but I do know that :) I'm still waiting for the preview pictures though, it looks nicer
