Valve why is this the same grade as burly beast

I love it

you angered zestyjesus well done and nice hat

Cool hat!

not paintable pls, atleast not that much

Why are you making good looking and fitting cosmetics for TF2? You should make fortnite-ish stuff only!!!! The kind of ungly stuff that nobody wants to use!!!

(Ironic comment)

This shit is so fucking good, well damn done

Paintable hats like this arent really an issue, they barely cover any area needed for team recognision, I'd say this hat is a yes on my part, very well done, I would love to use it

hot

@The Imperial Combine I mean, sometimes that awful trigger is happening when you see a random cosmetic(Not hats only) that entirely covered in paint and in vacuum in split-second you could not comprehend how drastically it changing the thing. Like with hats really big problem is that in first glance it is has so many space in very important part of silhouette - the head (Not to say that even on promo materials that focused on item it's hard to tell how much paint can impact) . And me myself need to recap how many times I recognized team by color of head cosmetic (Not a single time) - it is fully controllable process that you need to launch manually.
Just stupid mistake that made out of unfamiliarity with painted item and it's effect on your game (Close to zero) .

@The Imperial Combine
Those are some good points right there, I too would only use paints that actually looks good on the cosmetic. Valve are to blame for adding the Pink/Lime paints into the game to begin with, and i'd hate to see this item's paint region being removed entirely, as there is other paint options that it still looks good with imo.

@Gamer360
Water Waders is a nice cosmetic, but i too agree the paint region on that cosmetic is too much. Valve really missed the opportunity to disable its paint region

Also Warmth Preserver's Workshop page shows some differences compared to the version that is currently ingame:
1: The preview images shows that the cosmetic was intended to have paint regions too, but i think the creator stated that Valve told the creator to remove the paint region before they would accept it.
2: The original item seem'd to lack the Team colored upper-part compared to the one we currently have in-game.

Massive Paint regions I can understand such as when the High-Quality Selfcare still had a large chunk of the body being paintable when it first came out was an issue before it was fixed but lately I have been seeing People for whatever reason apply the same excuse to even the head region which funny enough no one had an issue with before, Look I understand guys that you would hate seeing a cool cosmetic you love to be either Pink or Lime green, but I still believe in the idea of People having Creative freedom of what color they love to see the hat (I would love to apply A Distinctive Lack of Hue on this) and if you guys love the default look thats fine as well, Again If you guys don't like the way a hat is painted that's fine you can freely say "I love this hat and the way it looks Sure People will paint it lime green but I can do what i wish with mine"

@The Imperial Combine nothing to say except "Facts".

Personally I don't think the paint regions an issue and think its pretty tamed compared to bigger cosmetics that are already in game and are Paintable such as the Blizzard Breather or Head Warmer I can still tell what team the Pyro is on, Please don't change the Paint Region, This is perfectly fine and for those who still don't like the paint region if its not really a team recognition you don't like paintable hats just say so, its a valid opinion and understand you don't need to paint the hat, and don't worry if you see a pyro running around with this hat painted pink I think you won't have a problem headshotting them compared to the two hats I mentioned.

Paints on hat is pain in arse... I like the model though/ Maybe you could make paint region smaller? On brim or top of the hat. It not like "YoU aRe RuInInG tEaM rEcOgNiTiOn!!!1!!1", it just looks awesome in stock team colors, IMHO.

oh no a fully paintable hat, how will I know what team this pyro is on, its only something valve themselves have done for 15 fucking years

Paint Region on the hat needs to be removed
