Yet another update just dropped (Summer Update 2025) and yet another update without this being added...

Interesting fact: I checked all the items with "Community Fix" tag that have been officially accepted into the game. And guess what? NONE OF THEM ARE. THERE ARE NO COMMUNITY FIXES ACCEPTED!!! But there is a butt-ton of taunts, skins and cosmetics!

We need this item so bad.

this is peak... i recently found out i crafted away my spiral sallet in 2017 after having it for less than a WEEK so this would be a godsend

I would love to have this. I miss my Necro Smasher.

why has this been no added by the community already?

Would love to have this. It'd be nice to have them back. Just make to make it one use only, make the stuff unusable in crafting, etc. Make sure you can't lose the stuff again.

When I was a new player I deleted close to 90% of my achievement items due to inventory space and I deleted the Halloween items because I didn't understand Halliday restricted items and deleted them thinking they where all just "bugged" items. I would love to have this item in the game so myself and many other Team Fortress 2 players can get back what they lost so long ago.

Rip my unusual horseless headless horsemans headtaker because I thought it would be a good idea to craft a hat

P.S. Name ONE, SINGLE reason why it shouldn't be added and why it hasn't been already...

I WANT MY GIBUS BACK PLEASE VALVE

One of the few actually good potential additions to the game

this would be peak addition to TF2

this is a great idea

One of the Important Items need to be added to the game.

love this

Whoa, no need to be so threatening!

ADD THIS NOW VALVE OR WE WILL DO SOMETHING TO YOU

Peak, needs to be added

ye me to i had to delete it just for space and i lost my gibus.

sad. :(

l lost the mercenary badge cause l delete it for space when l was f2p

I accidentally scrapped an achievement weapon a few times because it doesn't separate them from normal weapons when scrapping them...even though it does separate the scrap made from them.

While I'm sure some people wan their special scrap...this would be better.

i can just relate to you all guys, i was 11 when i started off Tf2 as a f2p for longer period of time and as everyone myself included, foolish decisions were being made by deleting achievment items because of the lack of storage space. Now 11years after still regretting crafting away the Black Rose knife and The Bolt Action Blitzer, i could name a couple other items

I have legit so many lost items because I first started playing when I was 12 - in 2013.
Stupid ass decisions and trade-tantrums made me lose items you literally can't ever get again. I messaged support and managed to only get 3 of them back, and I understand why it was that limited
But at the same time, I would pay money to get some of this stuff back, and maybe they'd cave to such an idea with a price tag?

Approve

good

It's very unlikely that anything like this will get added, but it's sooooo cool

Ultra mega big brain idea.
If this doesn't get added, I'd be surprised.

i am on this account bc i accidentally deleted my haunted scrap on my main account so i created an account that didnt have it yet and got it on the account

i need one, tell me when comes to the game

still destroys me inside whenever i see someone with the HHH headtaker because i deleted my haunted metal years ago. such a shame tf2 is essentially dead in the water and of practically 0 importance to valve as im sure this item would have been added if it were suggested years ago (im sure steam support would looove this aswell).

Give me one Plaese

brilliant.

+rep

Good stuff. I mean, I've removed some things to save on space as a F2P prior to my Premium upgrade, and I didn't miss them one bit (except for Haunted Metal and Halloween items)... but this still sounds great.

This is still a great idea!

if this was in here before i wouldnt have had to buy a ghastlierest gibus

I really want this, when I was new and starting out I foolishly used my achievement hats in the crafting system in a vain attempt to get a better hat, not truly understanding what I was doing. I did not get a better hat, I got a complete piece of shit. It haunts me to this day, I loved my Hat full of Steam

this may not apply to me but there are people that would love this because they deleted their gibus when they were younger and now regret it

we need this in game for the ones taht deleted their strange scrap metal

I think style 1 looks good, the details on style 2 might be difficult to make out, since it would appear small in game

we need this in the game, for all those who deleted their Gibus and his mercenary badge

Day 520 since the submission of this to the Workshop.

Yes!! please add it to the game.
Once I contacted support .. back in 2017, and they restored my old items back, but they forgot about the mercenary badge and gave me two anniversary hats instead of just one... At the time I didn't notice. I want the badge so much.

just take my money

This is a fucking base. Give me back my gibus

PLEASE ADD THIS TO THE GAME @VALVE DO YOU HEAR OUR PLEAS??!! I AM TWEAKING SO HARD RN A D D T H I S F F S

please god in heaven let this be added

I wish this would be added but we all know it never will unfortunately :c

Would something like this allow someone to reclaim their Ghasty/Ghostly Gibus if they deleted it?
